Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Drove the 850 to get coffee this morning at the Circle K. Was disappointed to see bird poop on it already, as I just got it washed yesterday. While getting my coffee, two LOUD women were verbally fighting in the store. It started outside. An older guy looks at me and says something to the effect, &...

Re: Bumper / rubber / trim goop scam?

Good question. Looks pretty good for a scam, but with what they can do, who knows. I've been using 303 protectorate for quite awhile, and I like it, but it does need to be reapplied often. I knew a guy who swore by the lubricant that you use for wet location electrical connections. It looked good, b...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Well I installed the undercarriage brace today, and after taking it for a spirited drive that included a few roundabouts, it does feel stiffer. Most noticeable in tight turns, but feels better overall. Ended up painting the mounting points black ( thanks to Bob Morton ), so it matches the strut towe...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I think that 30hp comes from the tune. And the faux wood trim.

Re: Non-Volvo car chat megathread

I think my wife coined a new phrase today, when she asked if we are going to do something about that " fendermoss". img_1820.jpg This a trailer that my father in law built about 50 years ago, and we kind of inherited it already many years ago. He was a carpenter so his material of choice ...

Re: Transmission fluid leak?

Get a replacement torque mount as well. Yours isn't even worth reinstalling.

Re: my volvo 850se journal

I guess we all have a bad hand or two. Left hand is pretty much useless some days. Cut the end off the index finger at work, which they were able to sew back on, but little to no feeling anymore and a fingernail that grows out at an angle. Left thumb joint completely worn out, so I have to wear a br...

Re: my volvo 850se journal

When I bought Sveedy, I had an intermittent ABS light issue. Looking through some old receipts, I found a reference to the ABS light. The indy shop wrote that a sensor switch was bad, and NLA. I started poking around and found a plug installed where this switch was supposed to be on the master cylin...
