lower engine mount part no. 9480189
as per my earlier post, I need to replace the lower engine mount (driver's side) which is Volvo part no. 9480189.
Seems the cheaper more common mount which is available for about £30 won't fit my car. My Volvo dealer in Leeds will charge £143.40, which is the same price as the aftermarket one from PFS, see here https://www.partsforvolvosonline.com...d19f30c1cae905 I could order one off eBay for about £100 but it would be coming from Latvia in July! I assume I have no option but to buy the Volvo dealer one, and swallow the cost. Just thought I'd post to see if anyone had any better ideas.

When I changed mine on the C70 I bought a Meyle from ebay. Very, very good quality and identical to the original one. I think I paid about £50 for it.
I will check the paperwork in the morning and confirm the seller info.

This is the seller and the part I bought for the C70. Genuine Meyle and identical to the original Volvo mount. I appreciate it would appear that it is a different mount to the one that fits your car, but looking at the PFS link the illustrations are the same mount as indeed are the ebay ones from Latvia etc. The mount that I bought was identical to the one in the illustration, so not a generic photo. The fitment checker in the ebay link lists it as fitting 850 - now I know these are not entirely accurate - but why would Volvo change a mount for a short period of production and then start fitting the earlier mount to later cars. Not sure if this helps, but hope it does.

I paid about £30 for one for my 2000 V70. The difference here seems to be that the turbo engined one is more expensive. Not sure why but the turbo might put more strain on the mount and it is a really HD one. For normal driving I'd say if the cheaper version physically fits, consider using it.

many thanks both
the ebay Meyle one says it fits the Turbo to Chassis No. CH 540000. But mine is after that. I think they must have changed the mount design for the 1999 model year. This is the one I need. https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-part...lower/1015916/ The two holes are central to the triangle shaped bit. All the other cheaper ones (including the Mayle one) have the holes slightly offset from centre and the triangle bit is not quite the same shape

Just an update on this, turned out that Volvo do not stock this part any more so I took the risk and ordered the advertised genuine Volvo part from ebay, coming from Lithuania. Took 3 weeks to arrive but it was spot on, the right Volvo part. Cost £98, which was about £30 cheaper than the aftermarket part from PFS.
Fitted it today and I was surprised how easy the job was and without complication. Of the 4 bolts that need to be undone, 3 can be accessed from the wheel arch but the 4th has to be accessed laid under the car, so I had to use my ramps for that.
