I would have thought your local volvo dealer ! Not too bad to fit .. What is wrong with them?

Or Parts for Volvo online (PFV) sell them too I think, if you prefer delivery.

Is it just the head to firewall mount that you need to fix? Some people like to fit poly here. Easy to fit but can add a bit of vibration at tick over.

That's what I did - fitted a polybush. Really easy to fit (20 mins including tea break) and will last for ever. I can't honestly say I noticed much difference in vibration levels, I'd do the same again if I ever needed to.

Luxo I remember you posting pictures of you doing yours on the old PopularClassics forum. You don't look to still be a member there but that's probably due to the changes after the forumcircle host was lost and they had to find another. Many members didn't rejoin. They are trying to reboot it at the moment.
Yours was the red V70. Can you remember the supplier of the rear bumper scuff prevention add-on you used? I'm a new V70 Mk1 owner.

Hi mate - yeah there's a thread on here about my original "fixing up" of my V70, here it is open at the page where I did the bumper covering.

I just looked back at the e-bay link and it's now dead, so I can't tell you where I got the covering, other than that it was from an e-bay seller. It's good stuff though, many years later now and many dogs/bricks/bags of cement/lumps of wood etc. and it's still looking reasonably smart and undamaged.

There's a bit about me changing the upper engine steady mount for a Polybush too, somewhere, I can't remember what page it's on.

Happy days re-reading that thread, the old girl is still looking pretty good and certainly working well.

Cheers!

Polybush change is on page 21 of the above thread. Got the rest of the tread to read but MUST go to bed!!
