Personally think that main dealers mislead people on purpose.
PS unit from salvage yard was £100
Hope this helps anyone
ICM unit can affect certain dash functions,in my case the dashboard itself suffered intermittent power loss,no speedo etc.
not suer how volvo justify £850 for a part that must cost them nowhere near this,and is easy to fit.

Apparently, if the serial numbers are within 1000 (it may even be more) they will work as they seem to be coded in batches. You may have been fortunate to get one in the same batch as your original. Mine had a replacement from a salvage car (before I owned it) and it does not work properly in my car but was fine in the one it came from.
