Re: P2 plastic lens replacement.

I did look at VParts. Great website but they don't don't ship beyond Europe. They have still not restored shipping to the UK since Brexit for some reason. Never understood why Euro companies have such a problem shipping stuff outside their countries. There's a fairly consistent chatter in the Volvo...

Re: The biggest car heist in history: How 1,000 Volvos went missing. Volvo 144

That's a crazy story and I'm a longtime fan of it. In the 70s my dad loaned a John Deere scraper or two to Czechloslovakia and they never returned them or paid for them, but the Volvo thing is far worse.

Re: 2004 Volvo S60R - Buy or Scram?

Post away. The devil you know is always better than the devil you don't. That said, sometimes there's a speed itch one needs to scratch, and for that he may trade reliability for handling.

No idiot lights illuminated
Parking brake 100% functional

-Added to OP

Drive #2 today: no ABS/Tracs light, so there's a growing body of evidence that cleaning the very dirty rear sensors worked.
