I would think that you are right Dave, the sheer volume of turnover from some of the Volvo outlets using ebay will ensure fresh stock.

Good point Austin with an obvious answer but I thought you were suggesting that on-line sellers couldn't be trusted to sell you "fresh" parts.

My view is that by selecting your provider with care, you can practically guarantee good quality, and also that the stuff doesn't "go off" anyway.

Cheers
