Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

I just asked Volvo for a price for some new front clusters. I was amazed when they told me the DLR's and indicators can not be bought together and are now seperate (DLR about 90 euro and indicator 50 euro!) Surely this can not be right?!

they will be talking about the glass fronted light next to the indicator and day lense.
You spoke to a muppet we have a couple at our volvo dealer dead convincing but usually wrong most of the time.

I called volvo recently and was quoted £35 a side. Which is half what I was expecting.
Rear clusters are £135 a side though.

I think its because you can't buy them anywhere else but Volvo, but I agree they are nothing special

I negotiated a pair of rear clusters from my volvo dealer for £80 each inc vat!
and 17.50 for each of the front indicator/day running lights. They did try to scam me for the glass lights next to them though!
