This is at XC70's max: plowed thorough about 10" of snow before it started to high-center way too often and make me beer-thirsty.

I've had a similar experience with Rostra. Ended up with a remanufactured valve body.

Would checking the line pressure provide any insight on whether the valve body is leaking pressure and/or a seal on one of transmission internals? Frankly, don't think so. My transmission had signs of low pressure that resulted in delayed engagement and even slipping frictions. firstv70volvo and I ...

Depo or TYC? They have problem with beam focus.

What abscate said, but flush with air (shop vac in reverse). This makes air "spills" inside the car, not water or coolant ;) I got it completely dry, not a drop. Ah, your P2 experiences its half life ;) My 2005 has only original fuel pump and some rubber bushings in the rear subframe, and ...

You see the remnants of the factory UV coating. It is very sturdy, so, yes, prepare for some pain the first time you polish the headlights.

Once the coating is gone, the headlights will dull and yellow in no matter of time unless re-coated immediately.

For the lower bumper opening you don't need the whole cage. Get some diamond-shaped expanded metal mesh at Home Depot, you need ~2.5 feet long sheet. It can be cheap aka mild steel - I have one like that, and it does not have any rust after a few years of enthusiastic use. Of course, had it first de...
