Volvo dealer wanted £23 each for them so I went with a pair black ones from autodoc for £5 + some washers.

New vs old:



Turning circle is appalling. My other half gets embarrassed in car parks as she thinks people will think she's useless at parking.

i think the green ones are for xc70.to avoid embarrasment reverse park. and dont go in multi story car parks with spiral ramps also embarrassing ha.ha

This particular topic is actually a self help group for me. Wives, partners, family and friends are forever mocking the distinct lack of maneuverability of my V70.

Every mini roundabout, every multi story, every "u" turn is treated with the same contemptuous ridicule. Until of course they want something either moved or collected, then it's the best car in the world.

My missus calls my car 'veronica' as a kind of joke about spending time with the other woman as it were

until some load needs lugging then it's all well your car's just got more space and roof bars .. hmm

I get my payback by training the children to loudly point out Volvo's everywhere they go, and telling mummy her car's boring and she should get a Volvo
