Don't forget that as time goes on what's new and mysterious (or a show stopping problem) usually gets figured out. There was a time when OBD-1 and 2 were new and no one but the pros could work on cars with all the new electronic gadgets, and now it's no big deal. I say that to mean that something ne...

.Maybe a gen 1 late XC90 with R-design seats? Neil. I thought their AT isproblematic. I believe it depends on the engine. The inline 6 always got a GM FWD transmission that could be an issue. The 5 got whatever the cars got, and I don't know about the V8. I've looked at two XC90's and have not been...

When I had my S70, the trunk side panel was pulled out, at the top, and I simply would reach in, and pull the electric actuator by hand... EVERY fill up.

I think they're fantastic little things. I really need to get outside, put them on my vehicles, as that's what I bought them for...

Mine has gone up too over the last year, too. I've got an original engine with about 120K miles on it.

I run 5w40 but I c...

I can't imagine how a guy would lose a head, but some people are "amazing".

Lots of short trips maybe?

I've got a question about ignition parts, specifically the rotor and cap. Here, in the Netherlands, they mainly sell two brands: Bosch and Beru. The price difference between these two brands is a bit... much in my opinion. There are suppliers that ask 108 euros for just the rotor, where as Beru pri...

This is fits my 96 NA

I just got mine delivered this morning.
