Help! 99 V40 bits needed!

[TheCaretaker]

Hi all you wonderful people out there, due to an imminent MOT i am desperately in need of a couple of bits
anyhoo, if anyone can help here's my shopping list!

Pair of 4pin headlights (thought i might as well upgrade!)
pair of front side marker lights(just discovered both blown,and appear to have been held in to the bumper with bluetac!)

im also in need of rear discs n pads,and front shock top bearings,any recommendations?

cheers guys!

Side marker lights are not part of the MOT test, hence you can't be failed on them

Have a pair of twin headlights with either standard chrome bezels or Sport black ones.

Also if others can correct me if I am wrong, I don't think you can fail on front top mounts. You should still change them though when you get a chance and ideally with volvo originalas, as they will last longer. I have a set of complete struts from a 1998 T4 if you need a set urgently though.

I line near Barking IG11 which is 20 miles away from you...

Hi Gatos,yeah i know the side lights wont fail but i thought while im at the front end i might as well tidy up a bit!
Trouble is i think i'm becoming addicted, got a few ideas for prettying her up.

Thats great! what are you looking for for the headlights?
would love to put dibs on the black sport ones,should be able to pickup late next week? or at the weekend.

I am after £50 for the chrome bezelled ones or £65 for the sport black ones. I will be in at home all day on Thursday or anytime in the weekend. You can check the bits on my car and get some ideas too. I will also try to find out if Jabe (another member local to me) has any spare side marker lights

A lot of people here use the Mintex discs and pads and all reckon they are happy with them. I currently have Brembo discs with Ferodo pads on my 1.9D and Volvo originals on the T4, both of which are great.
