Looking for the IsoFIX kit for my V40.

I dont seem to be able to PM as i have less than 40 posts so best post in here initially?

Cheers Chris

Volvo should be able to supply the parts, I've just bought a kit for a 2001 V40, x2 brackets and all the nuts and bots. I think it was about £30 for one side. I've seen the part numbers in a couple of threads on here which you'll find if you do a quick search, I've not got mine to hand.

Hi mate,

I actually called the FRF Volvo in Swansea?? Ordered dash bulbs, he was of the opinion they aren't made any more.

I got hold of the parts print out for the rear bench so now have the exploded view and part numbers.

I saw the bolts, i'll be getting them as well.

Did you get the plastic guide as well? I hear it's useless.

I'm wanting to fit the passenger side, more room behind the better half.

Chris

Do they mean they cant find the correct part numbers on the parts system ( VIDA ) or that volvo have said that they are no longer available ?

Chris, Did you have any luck fitting the ns isofix on your V40?
I retro-fitted isofix to the os rear seat, but the ns was tricky and required drilling, so I didn't bother. This was on a 99 Phase 1 V40.
I bought both parts from a Volvo dealer in Pirbright, roughly 4-5 years ago. They refunded me for the ns parts. Also, I enquired about them fitting it, but they refused, as they don't like drilling body work - some kind of warranty/insurance thing.

Hi mate,

Cheers Chris,
Yes you're right. I've now fitted both isofix brackets with no problems into my phase 2. They just bolt in, unlike on the phase 1 which does require drilling.
