I have seen the force thst these things go off. I doubt any stitching is going to survive it. I have some old impact 98 style too, for enhanced testing. Hold my beer

The very day TASCA made it clear they had done nothing about my order - except take the money - I cancelled with them and asked Google again who could help me, and She sent me to: https://www.volvopartscounter.com/ - Mitchell Volvo in Simsbury CT. I placed the order on 12/13 at 3:05, the webpage ack...

A set of red patio furniture has been dispatched

Thought I would come back to this as I have found a cleaner that has worked way better than any other offering I have tried. The Product is DeOxit D5. I found that a local music shop chain sell this stuff for cleaning electrical contacts. Not cheap at $25+ tax here (about $18 US), but I found I did ...

Alternator and starter cable resistances and bad grounds also affect charging capacity. I once asked the question of a Master Volvo mechanic I trust. He answered anything above 13.5V is good.
