New bracket ordered from
FRF Volvo Parts Swansea 01792 790066
with the C3 forum discount. They were very helpful although I had to clarify it was the hanger and not bit that holds the bush. £20 ish delivered which beats £24.77 (excl delivery) from my nearest volvo independent.
This V40 1.9D will probably be for sale soon with 12 months MOT. It has some rust issues underneath and should be a CAT C as it suffered a heavy rear end shunt which I had straightened out but without replacing or respraying anything.
The engine only has 155,000 miles so is basically just run in. It would make a good donor car.
Its got black/dark grey leather/fake leather interior, walnut trim, cruise control, climate control (air con needs topping up but it works), sound system with sub and amp in the boot, telesto alloys.
Send me a message if you are interested. I'm in Devon and I'm happy to put up photos and answer any questions.

* 2 bolts.
Fitted some new rear brake pads even though it didn't need it. Lower calliper slide was seized so cleaned it up, greased it and put it back with a new boot and bolt.
Probably should check all the others...
