I looked the set up here (No.America) to see what sizes were included and a "delivery to UK only" listing came up.
It still had no sizes listed. The price I saw was £41 so you did 7% better.
The layout of the case was a little different.

Don't fret breaking any of the 10mm - 14mm sizes.
See if the size for your wheels' lugs fits in the wells of your alloys.
I put a wrap of cloth tape around the lug bolt sized sockets.

I believe TENG are very good quality http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Teng-9386-...YAAOSwD2pXFaI7

I had Sealey wiper arm puller, but it broke on first attempt. Not sure of this one though but Iam leaning towards it because of the price and the number of sockets in the pack.

They may be a bit more than the Sealey ones, but I can recommend the Erbauer set sold by Screwfix. I have a very powerful impact gun that goes up to over 1200 ft/lb and they have coped with that without problems.
I was lucky and got mine at a sale price of £35, but I would say they are still good value at full price.

Make sure it has the elusive 18mm. Volvo are notorious for using wierd sizes. I've been really struggling with the rear suspension on our V40, because there are a lot of 18mm and 16mm - neither of which were in my impact set. And you know how siezed suspension nuts/bolts can be!

I have the same set for home use, and frequently use Sealey impact sockets in work. Contrary to what a lot of people think, impact sockets are actually softer than standard sockets. Being softer allows them to absorb the impacts without shattering. Some of the cheaper brands such as Draper and Sealey are almost too soft, which can cause the sockets to spread over time. This can lead to badly fitting or loose sockets. For all the use they're likely to get from an occasional diy'er, I'd say Sealeys offerings are a very good compromise between price and quality.
