Hey everyone, I've been searching for a Volvo 850 Turbo RIGHT HAND DRIVE Complete Dashboard for the longest while, if anyone can refer me to someone who has one to sell or if you have one please reply, I currently require at least two and at the maximum five of these complete dashboards, if you need further information don't hesitate to reply or message.

Note: I've searched online for a long while for this, I can find the left hand drive from Volvo, but no right hand drive, so if you have better luck please do tell.

When you say you need complete dashboards can you confirm you need both the upper pad and the lower section which includes the center dash section for the radio and heater controls. Do you also need the actual speedo cluster as well?

The hardest part (which I am sure you know) is you are limited to countries with more of these right hand drive cars like the UK, then Australia and Japan.

The other issue is at this age there is a huge chance of the lower dash mounts having broken where they are mounted to the bulkhead. To get what you need you may have to accept lower sections that need mount repairs.

I really wish you luck.

Maybe Cookeh might have a line on where in the UK to get these parts. The cost may be high as to remove them is a lot of work.

Neil.

Here in the UK there are very few established breakers left for P80s, with the main one now being run by a chap well into his 70s. He does not post, as a rule, and is sadly a 12 hour return trip away from me so I would be unable to collect it and post on your behalf.

Your best bet would be to check for cars advertised as being broken on eBay UK and approaching the seller to see if they'd be willing to ship it.

You may have more luck with importing it from Japan, they have quite the market for P80s still. Obviously there are a plethora of auction sites and importers available, who are fully geared up to international shipping. A few friends have mine have personally imported P80s parts from Japan via Yahoo auctions.
