i had mine repaired 2 weeks ago. all seems ok. my local Indy managed to get the volvo replacement arm kit, and managed to drill it.

cost £5 for part, and £35 for 1/2 hour of labour. they did say it was a bit of a bi*ch to fit, but it seems to go ok.

Clan did say that this type of repair is not a particulary good one, but i only expect to keep the car another 12 months/10000 miles so i though that even if it broke another 5 times, it would still be cheaper than the £200-£300 people have talked about for the full job.

hope it works out well for you.
