Update for any righties: this is the size of the plastic removal panel needed to cleanly remove the heater matrix. Also part of the glovebox dashboard frame needs to be cut or bent out of the way. I tried to cut the panel around securing points as the fan and glovebox may rattle if the structure is ...

A "high strength" collar gear will destroy the angle gear. I was very close to buying the last one but decided on genuine Volvo. I also looked at welding but decided against it.The angle gear splines were more damaged than the collar splines , I have proof of this. from my M58 gearbox whic...

Lower Control Arm bushes replacement. First of all dont try to use a vice as a press VICE.jpg Both bushes are best cut for removal. cut lca.jpg Buy a decent clamping tool with the correct sized cups, i tried two metal shops and non had the correct size pipe for the job. tool press.jpg I also used a ...

i would say its your brake switch, the LED draws less current than the lower incandescent bulbs so that may explain it..not sure

get a bunch of these clips when going to a junkyard. Its a very good idea to remove the trim and clean the channel to prevent rust.. from memory i fitted to vehicle then press down the trim, they make a 'click' noise when they snap into place. TIP if you should ever need a windscreen replaced, try a...

yes i say stalk is good. REMOVE any Do It Yourself fire hazard wiring from previous owners. probably the relay is bad

ive looked at the wiring diagram and it looks doable. I cannot post a pic because it looks like this website is having issues but the xenon has an extra relay CM16 that needs to be re wired to the standard CM17

thats the front of the engine. its bolted onto a bracket to the block. i was thinking you meant the round mounds on the sides of the engine they also both use brackets.

thats cool but for tail lights dont use a load resistor for canbus it defeats the purpose of using LEDs. I used the shunt mod added a small 1/4 watt resitance to the shunt (no heat) and uses a fraction of the current of a incandesant. This method works for all lights exept indicator/turn lights LED ...

i used this guys but fine tuned it by using very small resistors to allow the bulb out feature to remain working. I also was not able to get the turn signals to work using this method, i did experiment with a variable resistor and could pinpoint the exact spot that triggered the fast flashing/normal...
