None sorry.

Have contacted a seller on ebay who says that Volvo fit 14mm and 16mm rear ARB to my model of car, and can supply the correct size bush.

Will venture under the car again with open ended spanner in hand to get the correct diameter.

Not had a good day. Car failed MOT on rear drop links, and advisory on rear arb bushes. I have pre-empted this already, so sourced some drop links and took a guess at the arb bushes. Got the bushes from PFS for the V40; same diameter (16mm) same width and height.

Rear anti roll bar was a real nightmare to remove from the car, so I left it in situ and I chain drilled the bushes and managed to prize them off the arb. Removed the bush brackets and prized open the brackets to fit the new bush; everything right except the contour, which made the bush fit lower in the bracket. Trimmed a bit of rubber off and now the bush is totally useless.

So, my car is still on axle stands on the drive, and I need to find somewhere local where I can take my knackered bushes and compare with bushes that are probably for other car makes.

All to save the £150 +...........sometimes I wish I just would pay the money and get someone else to sort out

Have had to bite the bullet and have bought a new arb from FRF Swansea. Next job, change the rear arb..............really thrilled about that !
