Brookhouse screens should be good and accurate. They are probably the same ones supplied by all of Europes Volvo parts suppliers. Used to be able to get them from Volvo main dealers at a sensible price too but not had anybody confirm that recently. Possibly only ones with a tinted top strip?

They have indeed started up again....

I've also got my tame Volvo parts guy looking to see if he can source one from Volvo but both these avenues may be prohibitively expensive compared to Brookhouse.

Many thanks for the info.
