Where the best place to get a set of over sized pistons for my 850 t5 is it a case of dealer only or are there other places. Cheers

The only pistons you can get from Volvo/ FRF volvo are 0.40mm oversize. These prices are from FRF volvo, main dealers are more. 5 x piston kit (piston + gudgen pin) part No. 272307 £436.06 inc vat + del 5 x rings 31330722 £155.04 inc vat + del

I'm sure I read somewhere that Sten Parner did the forged rods and pistons for around £834 Though I maybe wrong, his website has changed, but I'm sure it said rods and pistons for 8750 SEK You would have to contact them to see what the deal is.
