peterwgpa Thought I would update this from info gathered today. Some may already know but adding here anyway. As it turns out the part number that we required for a manual rack was actually 1229208 (verse power rack 1229209) and that fancy coleman spline found on the V8 thread and I bought is actually the same length as the power steering spline and not the longer manual steering spline. The 1229208 part number has been superseded and is now 8250301 (thanks to Eric at Hiperauto USA for advice and link to GCP direct). So part 8250301 from GCP delivered express to Australia is approx. $160 FYI 1229209 is still available from Volvo Sydney and cost approx. $330
