[QUOTE=Saaamon;740444]What do you use, genuine or patent parts? Discuss.[/QUOTE] Think the question should be, What do you use Genuine Volvo, OEM parts, or Oe, Patten parts
If I'm 100% totally honest, I use a mixture of the two. If it's service parts like filters etc, I tend to opt for OE because they're not that much more expensive than pattern parts. If it's other stuff, I'll use pattern parts a lot of the time.

Depends. If you have uprated components like shocks or brakes etc, then OE/OEM etc is gonna be a downgrade in some respects.

As a rule genuine OE parts.
Always genuine for my filters and general service items like discs, pads, belts etc. Uprated parts (in my view) such as Goodridge flexi brake pipes & Meyle HD for drop links and wishbones.
