I'm all for aftermarket and not getting stung by the dealer but I really would not be buying something like a brake pedal direct, unbranded, uncertified from China and fitting to my car.....

I believe Bloke69 is talking just pedal covers that slip onto existing volvo pedals (Momentums and Inscriptions have regular rubber covers..).

Indeed they are just covers (slip on on and off the brake pedal) and slip on accelerator pedal.

Ah. OK. Thought must be the whole unit when you said 120 quid for fitting......

I wouldn’t be surprised if the main dealer charged 10x that much for the whole unit (gas pedal+ brake pedal, complete..)

To add,

I only got the Chinese ones AFTER the dealer said they are not available from Volvo anymore.

Having had sports pedals on my Merc, I thought I would buy the Chinese ones and see how they turn up given how good value they were. I am pleasantly surprised.

Same for mudflaps, I paid for front and rear mudflaps, but dealer only fitted front, so got a set from China ... Will see how the fit over the weekend.
