    M.O.T. due soon and some kind soul decided to smash lens on rear light cluster.

    Can I buy replacement lenses or do i have to buy a complete unit?

    740gle Estate 1989(230000mls)

    Any advice would be appreciated

  2. Complete unit, unfortunately. About 35 squid plus VAT from either of
    these places

    http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

    http://www.eurocarparts.com/

    Unfortunately neither seem to have many local outlets in Scotland -
    unless you're in Glasgow - so you may need to add postage to that
    price as well. Should still be cheaper that from Volvo, though.

    Thanks Stewart, I think I'll try local breakers, need a few things to keep the
    old beast on the road.

    Car has been in the family from new and don't really want to part with it
    although will probably cost a small fortune!!

    Cheers Craig

  4. Yehbut the alternative will cost a bigger fortune. If the car is not
    rusting away, the engine not burning significant amounts of oil, and
    the transmission is still smooth and not noisy, you'll get a bit more
    cheap motoring out of it yet.

    I seem to remember that there was someone from Scotland breaking their
    740 a few weeks ago (paging Stuart Gray?), but I suspect you're too
    late there.

    If you want to buy the complete units try Eurocarparts (around £60 for OEM, £35
    for pattern, but steer clear of pattern). That said I have two pattern ones for
    sale for £15 each as have just obtained two OEM types. They are both less than a
    year old with no chips or cracks.

    Cheers, Peter in South Wales.
