wow thats more expensive that the genuine volvo one ! ( sealeys price not yours ) they were about £18 from volvo last time i bought one .

Clan, I wish i'd know that before buying it. :-) Been honest, I didn't even call my local dealer. I've bought a couple of non-genuine parts before to find that the OEM parts from a dealer would have been cheaper.
I nearly had them install my belt kit.
I would advise anyone who's going to be changing their cambelt to use this tool (or one like it). Absolute must for torquing up the crankshaft securing nut.

Indeed there is no other SAFE way of holding 300 nm of torque ! If you have a D5 and do your own work you really must have one of these .
