Buying bits for the service

I am doing a big service on the 240 on the weekend with my cousin Mick, so I went to Repco today to pick up the bits I needed to do the work. Got most of what I wanted, but ran into some issues.

First, I was able to walk away today with the following:
  • Oil Filter
  • Spark Plugs
  • Distributor Cap
  • Anti Freeze / Anti Boil
  • Engine Oil
  • Fan, A/C and Power Steering Belts
But I had to order in the following:
  • Thermostat and rubber o-ring
  • Automatic transmission fluid
  • Rotor Button
I couldn't get these items though:
  • Radiator expansion tank hose
  • Top & Bottom Radiator Hoses
  • Fuel Filter
  • Thermostat housing gasket
  • Sump plug gasket
  • Transmission filter and gasket
The hoses, thermostat housing gasket and sump plug gasket were not available to order and the rest will have to wait till I am under the car to match the models, as there's 2 choices for each. I haven't resorted to ordering from Volvo yet, but may end up doing that if I can't get what I need.
