I've seen lenses only listed on Ebay, along with the complete assemblys. You could try your local junk yards. Good luck.

#1631 of 1649 2007 C70 problems by booker1

Feb 28, 2010 (3:04 pm)

I bought my volvo in Sept. 2006. The initial tires were selected by the dealer and were performance tires on 18 inch wheels only rated for 15000 miles. I now have 81000 miles and have been through 4 sets of tires,.. According to the dealership, Volvo found an excessive cambor problem with the back tires and fixed this on the 2010. Now they want me to pay for repair to my car. Very disappointed with Volvo service and quality.

What do you mean by "excessive cambor?" Can you elaborate?

#1633 of 1649 Where's the AC drain located? by tmart

Drain is clogged causing water to leak into the front passenger foot well. Was easy to get to on my prior cars but I can't find the location on the C70, first gen.
Please advise. Thanks.

I have a 2007 C70 Volvo and I have gone through ten tires just on the back. I am learning now there may be an issue with the cambor and Volvo has an after market piece they can put on the 2007 to correct the problem of the tires wearing too quickly. They also are indicating to me I will have to pay for this. Has anyone else had a similar problem with the tires on this particular car?

Seems I am about to wake up this very long thread. I am reading it from the beginning and has gotten to post #430..=*^)
 
The reason I am posting is because yesterday I bought a 2000 C70 2.0 LT coupe here in the UK. It's been lovingly cared for by an older gentleman and looks and runs and operates as new - tight, no squeaks or rattles, drives like a scalded rat and the sound system is out of the world, just like the seats..=*^)
 
It has 73K on the engine, just had a service with the cam belt replaced and tires are almost new on the rear and 50% on the front.
 
This is not the first Volvo I've owned. I had a P1800 way back in '70 in Sweden and the last one was a '92 940 I drove in Arizona. When I sold it it had 310,000 miles on the engine, didn't use any oil and never let me down doing the 60 mile round trip commute.
 
I am looking forward putting a couple of hundred thousand miles on this one..=*^)
 
It's going to be interesting to see how the tires wear...
 
Cheers from a (for once) snowy England.

Congrats on your purchase. I have a 99 convert. Tire wear will depend on what type tire you have, all season or low profile summer high preformance. Since you're in England, I would assume all season, so mileage would depend on the tire brand, etc. If you have the summers, expect a max of 25k miles.
