Ahoy!
I went the PFS parts route
For roughly the cost of one nivomat delivered, I bought:
1 × 940 '91-'98 Bilstein B4 Front and Rear Damper KIT (not nivomat)£175.01 (EU €204.34)
1 × 740, 760, 940 Series Estate, Heavy Duty Rear Spring (pair)£82.25 (EU €96.03)
2 × 740/940 Series Standard Front Spring Petrol (see applications)(single)£78.96 (EU €92.19)
2 × 740, 940 Series Rear Torque Rod Rear Bush£16.18 (EU €18.89)
2 × 740, 940 Series Rear Torque Rod Front Bush£9.55 (EU €11.15)
1 × 700, 900, 850, V70 Tailgate Panel Repair Kit With New Clips£7.20 (EU €8.41)
1 × 240, 740, 940 Series, 89' onwards, Petrol Engines w/o Turbo, Breather Kit£4.19 (EU €4.89)
1 × 700/900 Series, Propshaft Bearing Carrier and Bearing Kit£29.38 (EU €34.30)
1 × 740, 940 Series (Panhard Rod) Bush£6.07 (EU €7.09)
1 × 740, 940 Series (Panhard Rod) Bush£6.07 (EU €7.09)
2 × 700, 900, S/V90 Series Front Strut Top Mount£52.58 (EU €61.39)
2 × 700, 900, S/V90 Series Front Strut Top Mount Bearing£33.60 (EU €39.23)
Boot repair kit and pcv took it over the magical £500 (to £501) and free delivery.
The way I see it, £500 is a particularly bad 2nd hand car with who knows what issues. This Volvo has a fresh MOT, does a lot of what we want and should keep on trucking.
Not fitted anything yet as we keep having gales and 6mm hail, breaking up the usual menu of interminable rain.
