Postscript Bougicord Lead Update Since my last post on Bougicord leads I was eventually able to track down a set of after market leads via an auto supply store in Melbourne Australia, these lease fitted perfectly and after 10,000 km are performing perfectly too. The cost was $150 Aud. I hope this he...

I've been wanting to restore the bumper covers and trim on Sveedy for some time, but have put it off due to not being able to find a good product in, and here's the key, the right color. The bumpers and trim on 850's are a sort of charcoal gray color, not true black, and like most plastic covers, mi...

window heater wire sounds likely, that was the scene of the repair. I don't think the rear window heater is part of the tailgate closed wire path. There should be a separate wire film pattern on the rear window with a different set of wires going to it, the pink wire from the 54/50 connector and a ...

I've gotten a little further in the meantime. I successfully installed the Can Display instead of the original RTI. All my analog sensors like EGT, AFR, etc. work fine. buildin.jpg Now I would like to use some CAN data like RPM (for shiftlight :D ), AIT, Boost, etc. With the software for the display...

I watch a lot of YT videos. FINALLY Walmart's annoying dinosaur-plagued (kiddish ROOOOOOARRR!) commercial has gotten old and is nearly gone. But yet again they made another commercial with a Volvo. This time its v70, not 245 like last time; appears to be a base AWD model (body colored bumper covers)...
