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?

Any advice would be appreciated

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

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
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.
