Volvo breakers yards?

[oldcynic]

Can anyone recommend a breakers yard which is likely to have a V70 in the Luton/Leighton Buzzard area or not too far from there?

I need to replace a headlight on my 2003 V70 and I'm cautious of spending £125 or so on Ebay but don't mind buying secondhand if I can actually see the light before parting with cash. New price is £270 or so delivered.

Thanks.

I know they are too far away, but I have used them a lot for bit over the years. Never had a problem with them. They are always pretty helpfull. Was delivered quick too.

I was recently charged £175 + VAT per PAIR (non OEM?) by my local garage
who got them from somebody like 'German & Swedish' or 'EuroCarParts'.

Thanks for that.

Ended up buying a new Volvo headlight for about £270 due to time constraints and needing other work done ASAP. However I shall bear that in mind for other bits which will inevitably need replacing sooner ot later - could do with replacing the mashed up rear bumper for a start.

I think they have an ebay shop also.

Thanks for the updates. Thread bookmarked by default, so at least I'll know where to start looking for parts in future as Volvo parts prices can be pretty scary.
