Seatbelt arm replacement - how to (with pics)

The threads on this forum aren't open for debate, if you read a manual and it can do with an improvement: please persuade the writer by PM to alter a certain part. If you feel the manual is incomplete then make a brief addition in a reply to the thread. Just don't start debates in this forum.

Try on ebay & search for 'volvo vince' He runs, or used to run Volvo Valley.

You can buy them direct from Volvo Parts Dept using the part numbers ...

Description ----- Part Number ----- Unit Price ex VAT
ARM L.H. ........... 3450814 ................ £5.50
ARM R.H. ........... 3450816 ............... £5.50

The prices have probably gone up by now tho!

ermm, not that i know of, might be worth starting a new thread in the general section to see if anyone else can help. I take it Volvo can't post these items to you at your cost?
