Hi guys,

It appears that both my V90 and 960 need transmission mounts. Also, my V90 needs a new set of taillights. I was considering these transmission mounts: http://www.eeuroparts.com/productdetail.aspx?searchResults=1&code=7624 and http://www.eeuroparts.com/productdetail.aspx?searchResults=1&code=7625 They're just so inexpensive! I mean geez, I think one mount is ~$100 from Volvo! I figure even if they don't last quite as long it'd still be worth it as they're pretty easy to replace. My mechanic also had some resoning for me too; He said there's a chance that these aftermarket mounts are actually OE because the cars had relatively limited production and therefore not many aftermarket companies would be interested in producing things like transmission mounts for them. Interesting thought. Also, I was considering these taillights as the price is fantastic; http://www.lampsandlenses.com/item.wws?catpk=&sku=915965962&mfr=ECP&qty=1&storepk=500175&cookieID=1R30PWVPG1R30PX58S&source=MSN&clientid=lampsandlenses Anyway, just wanted to get your opinions before I go and order anything. I'm trying to be more resourceful with my 960 and V90 as I spend a lot of money one my 740s (especially the 745T) that could have been saved if I had been more cautious about where I sourced parts. I do try to get quality parts though, I'm just not made of money :)
