Jobs a good 'un then .... think they are about 70 beer vouchers ... btw ..reason I was asking earlier if yours was XT model (which has double speed travel) is cos it uses the same solenoid for the high travel speed that you can rob for the main hydraulics just to get you going again

seventy quid!! for a solenoid, FFS what do they look like ?? .... they NASA spec or what

Ive spent years trying to source all the stuff Volvo sells for over inflated money because they are a rip off, and there are plenty of posts Ive made here to highlight the fact and with success stories about finding alternatives. I'd expect that part to cost about £9 at source tops ... but whaddya do ? ... they make sure that who ever makes them, leave very few marks on the product so you cant do a cross match easily

Yes. It takes some time to investigate and sometimes all the capabilities of Sherlock Holmes are needed but finally by combining various sources there is an equivalent. Volvo for sure doesnt manufacture solenoids by themselves.
