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.
How about these from RSI international, I think its what I have in mine. http://yhst-26451710505916.stores.yahoo.net/rsituwawhpi.html
Cheers every one looks like volvo is the way to go as ive allready got rods so will drop block off at machine shop
