Every car manufacturer does this with certain things. Fitment is OEM only, so they and only they can make money from parts. Stuff like for example wipers are a classic OEM fitment only on Volvo. Mercedes for example is one of the few who still uses 14mm fitment on wipers. So you have to buy them at ...

Hi.

Common problem with these cars.

Replace the blinker switch, and it should solve the problem.

I've replaced quite a few of these on costumer cars.

There is no way I would trust some rumor that some 20 year old suspension springs are slightly shorter original spec. I know this for a fact, since I work at Volvo. I even have the catalogue All Volvo 850's had the option to be fitted with lowered sport springs with or without NIVOMAT These were 15...
