Installed some remanufactured calipers on the project 99 2.3T S70 Auto. Had a fun time when i pushed the brake pedal without closing the bleed valves on the two front calipers. Needless to say i will need to bleed the whole system before testing it again.

Turned out the battery terminals have corroded to ...

After doing a bit of digging i found that the 98 V70 instrument cluster h...

Now all my windows work:P. Secondary fault was the rear left window motor somehow got...
