Try main dealer first for price and part number, if too expensive try e-bay/online breakers or motor factors.

Ah, i the issue will be when the car was manufactured not registered, if the switch was made c2005

Thanks all for input so far

From what I can gather my car is an 05 plate but Vida says it's an 06 Model Year.

My Jan. 2001 V70 rests to the left.
My April 2005 V70 rests to the right.

I like that they are parked back to back :-)

(I only had two for a brief period whilst selling the non-R but did enjoy parking them next to each other)

Check Eurocarparts they often have offers, a couple of weeks ago I bought replacement rear Bosch blades for my V70 (2 length options)
485660300 Bosch Super Plus Specific Wiper Blade Rear H370 1 £15.49 £15.49

485773640 Bosch Super Plus Specific Wiper Blade Rear H375 1 £5.49 £5.49

SAVE Gift/Promocode Benefit £10.50

Sub-total £10.48

So for £10.48 I got the both of the correct blade & housing options that fit the prefacelift 2004 model.

If you check on the Bosch blade website you'll find the correct blades for your car.

Halfords had a similar offer on Bosch blades mid September at 45% discount - a full front set of the aeroblades came to £22.28

Bosch AR21U - Flat Upgrade Wiper Blade - Single Price: £11.79
Bosch AR21U - Flat Upgrade Wiper Blade - Single Price: £10.49

NB Bosch blades don't squeak!

Thanks again. My 05 plate is definitely a left-rester. I’ll definitely call Volvo first and see what the reg and chassis number say it should be !

I'd say someone replaced the wiper motor or the entire tail gate in the past?
