Broken 850 rear anti roll bar - replacement?

[smack]

Hi All,

I have snapped my rear anti roll bar the other day, which happened when I was using my car as a substitute for a removal van Snapped at the plate were it meets with the Transverse arm on the passenger side - to the right hand side of the Transverse arm mount.

As in this photo linked / stolen from Volvospeed



After finding what the clunking was last night, a bunch of heavy duty cable ties to stop it from moving, and subsequent googling, this doesn't seem all that common.

Do all 850's share the same roll bar (mines a 850R estate)?

I couldn't find much last night on the net (apart from a stiffer front/rear kit for £300-400 which I am not really after), and GSF and Eurocar Parts don't do them.
So breakers look like an option. Any around the Home Counties or London that people can suggest (Surrey or up towards the M40 all the better as I need to go that way tomorrow).

Thanks in advance.

Cheers Don, as it happens I have spoken to Steve today! I found that from one of your posts on the VOC board.

He was quite helpful, and can pull one off a T5 for me.

Though I spoke to a dealer, who said there are two listed for my car, either a type "N or V", which is on a sticker on the bar to tell you the difference.... Asked him if he thought the sticker would still be on a roll bar as it has been on the underside of my car for over 12 years.... That had him confused!

Figure one of a T5 should be ok.
