I generally use skandix for finding part numbers. I think I've used them once a long time ago for something obscure which they had in stock and the dealer couldn't get and wasn't impressed by the cost of shipping then. If it's gone up by that margin it's going to make volvo dealers in the UK seem cheap as chips!
Yes, Scandix shipping has always been a bit high but 22 Euro was bearable. 60 Euro makes you think twice. Sadly Scandix was the only place that I could find the part- PFS, GCP and all the usual suspects were no joy.

Thanks. The plate and TCV will be straightforward just a bit of spannering. It's the thermistor that's going to be fiddly. Need to brush up on my soldering skills lol.
