Side steps...breakers?
Guys, been looking for a pair of side steps for a while now...I am not prepared to pay £600 from the dealer, or even £300-£400 on EBay or the like for sets which are often 8-9 years old. I'd prefer the OEM ones, but would consider aftermarket types. Having spent the last few days using a folding plastic step to get my mother in law in & out of the back...it's become a higher priority
My question is, has anyone ever used the like of Volvo parts gateway or 247 spares with any success. I don't want to be bombarded by emails or phone calls...but wondered if they might be the source of a decent set at a decent price? Circa £200 is my budget |

I purchased my spare wheel via 247 spares and can certainly recommend them.
The side steps do show up on ebay 2nd hand every now and then, but usually sell for £300 or more, only rarely for less.... so not sure if you will have much luck with breakers for £200

I got a new set of OEM ones from eBay for £293 a few weeks back. They are identical to the OEM ones.
I was n't prepared to pay £540 for a Volvo set, not £330 for a used Volvo set. I'll be having them colour coded to match my wheels shortly. Keep your eyes open on eBay, you can find them for sub £300, not sure they ever go as low as £200. |

Cheers, have looked at them all ;0)
There is one set at£220, but cheekily emailed a few buyers & reviews were mixed, one said they were ok but another said suitable for kids weight only. The search goes on. But thanks anyway. |
