Where to buy Volvo MD11C Spare Parts?

[CaptainBob]

Where can I buy spare parts for my Volvo MD11C?

Looking to buy fuel and oil filters, impeller kit, thermostat (+ associated o-ring and gasket)... and anything else I'll end up needing.

Online suppliers?

Thanks!

ASAP - Google them

I had a quote from a Perkins dealer for parts for my engine (oil/fuel filter, impellers, belts, gaskets etc) - came to £185.
Same list of parts from ASAP - £95!!

Filters are available V.cheap at motor factors, You might need to take the originals. Pumpkits, try Marlecmarine.com. The thermostat is a special Volvo job and is V.expensive. Watch for corrosion where the O ring seats.
Apart from the thermostat, don't get any of these items at Volvo dealers, you will pay through the nose.
Cheers, Dave

This is now a very old engine. Good advice already given but you wll have to go to a Volvo supplier for some spares. Try Keypart at Luton. Most firms say that new cylinder heads are unobtainable. However I did see several second hand heads at the Northern boat jumble last Sept for both MD2 and MD11s.

I've got a spare unused genuine VP MD11c belt for sale on Ebay right now, starting at £2.

Volspec if you get really stuck, but beware that there were a number of variants - get the engine serial number which will help

I'll second the recommendation for keypart - always found them very good to deal with.

Mind you what are you after exactly - I removed an MD11C this spring (old but in working order) - and have a box full of spares - many new (e.g filters, impellers, thermostats etc) and asorted other bits stripped from a second engine as spares (fuel pumps, exhaust elbows etc)

Keep meaning to put the whole engine and bits on ebay - but not got round to it yet - P.M me if you are interested in any bits

Filters from motor factors as suggested. Half price of Volvo parts. There are people out there with spares. I bought second hand cam followers and pushrods for 20 quid as opposed to 140 new. If you have the time to look you can save money. It is when it is the middle of the season when you need a part in a hurry you have to pay. Keypart are v helpful.

There are 2 heads for £100 on Boats and outboards now.
