C70 2006 Space Saver Wheel Advice Wanted

[foofighter]

'Outrageous' I couldn't agree more.

Part of the problem seems to be the complete lack of options when it comes to sourcing spares and accessories for Volvos.

I have seen a couple of sites in the USA which seem to carry a huge range of accessories for Volvos and the C70 is well represented.

Is it the case over here that the dealers have a monopoly on supplying spares and accessories?

A lot of Ford parts will fit Volvos and the 2.0D is a Peugeot really so another avenue opens.

In particular, the toy spare wheel from a C-max appears to be identical to a V50 one.

Hey guys, i totally agree, i have a 2007 C70 T5 and honest to god there appears to be little info on the Mark 2 models. It almost begs for a website just to cater for 2006- on wards for this car.

You tube is full of American C70 for sale but very little in the way of repairs etc, apart from one guy from Poland.

Parts shops online IE PFV online have limited stock for our cars. Trying to find a complete passenger side electric mirror as an example is a major task away from buying from Volvo.

Its almost like Volvo wanted to dominate the American market and sod the UK. Very frustrating.

Body kits , upgrades are all american sites.

Space saver wheels also seem to be a bugger to source.
