WA 😀 didn't know you can get parts over this way .
Mind you I don't really frequent meetings and what's going on tbh
I tend to buy online or here ..
There is a local fb group WAVE 👋

    jamesinc Thank you. due to being retired I think I will have to buy from evil bay. watching what their adverts say as some can be deceptive as to what you are going to receive.

    rado This is Our First Volvo. so we are very new to looking for parts. Glad I am quick learner… Getting some good advice so far we have only had S50 since Feb 01 this year, yeah, last Saturday…

              Go to Volvo Australia, then... who'll charge you $46 for each head bolt, last time I checked (a few years ago now). At the time, I got a set from the US for $110 shipped and they arrived in a week. Never bothered with local stealers since.

              Since COVID, shipping from anywhere overseas to OZ is expensive.

                Ant,
                Did you email Scot at FCP give him the purchase order number and he will half the postage.
                He's a great bloke who has helped many of us afford to buy overseas

                  I've been pricing 850 parking brake parts from the dealer here in Australia , they have increased their prices massively since the last time I bought genuine parts , plus the Aus$ has dropped to 62 cents as well.

                  Note : Volvo Australia shipping all parts via the ocean now , so there's a 3 months waite

                  242GT Thank you. this sounds like the answer i was looking for…

                  It's important you read the postage article that James has put together with FCPEuro and follow the instructions , theres alot of money to be saved and spent on qaulity parts from them
