General UK parts suppliers

[colenso]

As a new Volvo owner, but not an owner of a new Volvo, would anyone please tell me who are the parts suppliers you use. I think maybe ebay with £11 price tag for one bolt is a little like taking the p***.
Thanks in advance.

Volvopartstrade on Ebay

FRF Volvo in Swansea (quote C3 when you call for a discount).

Skandix

Autodoc

Don't forget your Volvo dealership Parts Department, prices are often less than online and always worth checking, plus the parts are guaranteed to fit first tine and work as intended...

Thanks for this Kev, I'll take a look see!

That's good info guys and also what's the easiest way to find parts numbers apart from Vida, which I may get as some point?

Have a look at Partsouq. Punch your VIN in and you can view all the parts diagrams and numbers.

My mistake, you said UK sellers... I missed that.

Autodoc is a European site, as is Skandix... they're very good though (for aftermarket stuff). Free delivery when you spend over £140 on Autodoc for example, but downside is you may have to wait a week or so for the parts to arrive. Their prices are very good though, so worth considering.

FRF are based in Swansea. Volvopartstrade are Newcastle. These sell genuine Volvo parts.

This is a very useful site Dancake, I think you for bringing it to my notice! Maybe I can get away without VIDA and use another diagnostic tool which I can couple my Mac laptop to.
Many thanks.
