Knobs

Everything that doesn't belong in the previous categories probably belongs here. Interiour (how are the seats mounted? how to remove the CEM?) and exteriour (how to replace the popup-lights shock absorbers or a door) are discussed here!

Really daft question, but should the heater control knob just pull off?

Thanks!

Already have the replacement, but am being skittish about pulling the old one too hard and breaking the VEM :(

Does anyone know if these are still available? My heater knobs are suffering from the usual deterioration.

Had them from Ebay before, but would go to a Volvo dealer if that was a cheaper option (that would be a first!)

Marshall Volvo and I were stunned that the price had rocketed to around a fiver. I guess Volvo are running out and they will be next to go unavailable.

If you do get then cheap please let me know.

James

Volvo have realigned their prices so a speedo sensor for a 480 went up from £35 new to £84 approx . Unbelievable so it doesnt surprise me that they have hiked these prices up to !

I assume that is for a single knob as well. ;)
