[joethefish]

Ive got a pair of BRAND NEW headlamps, complete. I bought them and never got to use them. Id like my money back, which was £105.76

I spent ages looking for good used units but its near on impossible to remove old units without breaking bolts off or snapping the brittle clips inside, thats if you can find a good set of used ones. I bit the bullet and bought these.

Oh, and ive got a nearly new complete system for a non-cat 2 litre car. Not a sports system but cheap... £35?

[joethefish]

Ooooo so tempted by the headlights... but not sure I can stretch to that. I'm hopefully going to nose at a pair near me this week if they are not any good i'll reconsider.. as for the exhaust i've already bit the bullet and ordered a Jetex sports system, made sense as i'd have done it soon anyway at least its cheaper than the Simons one on there... just gutted I cant replace it.

Lankytim...
Hi just a thought don't suppose you have the round black plastic thing that goes onto the back of the headlamp, locking the bulb in place. Fairly certain I cant afford the new lights so might have to get new reflectors but I'm also missing this bit which I cant find anywhere.

Not sure what your after, but have you tried the local breakers yard?

My mate who wants the springs saw a Torslander in the one near me last weekend.

[joethefish]

Yeah tried the three local (ish) breakers and best I could turn up was a two 9 series, with no swappable bits for my needs.
Grrrr,
Joe

Here you go mate, a N/S headlight on the bay

I'm almost 100% certain from looking at the pics and his other for sale parts he is a Volvo breaker, as I got a spoiler and some opening rear quarters from him earlier in the year.

Give him a shout, he was a nice bloke to deal with.

Here his number 07770 842965

or

07985 155207

edit: yes definately the same guy, as his business card is Volvo Ten Plus, the same as his seller name, he is Martin

[Lankytim]

No problems Joe, they are expensive but worth it. After hunting for good headlights and snapping clips right left and centre its usch less fuss in the long run to get new units.. Youll turn to the dark side, given time!

don't think ive got the black rubber thing but ill have a dig about.

[joethefish]

Lankytim, cheers let me know, oh and you should have PM too.
Magnumpi, thanks I just found it he is a breaker just trying to organise a day to go have a nose...

[magnumpi]

If it's a bit of a treck for you to his? you may be a bit disapointed coz he usualy only has 10 or so cars, but very helpful all the same

[joethefish]

Cheers according to ebay its 40miles, I gave him a list of my needs and he has them all so we will see!
Cheers
Joe

[joethefish]

Lankytim you have new PM
