Wow! Thanks guys. I was reading one of the threads, and the last entry was a very useful one from Abscate: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=64252&start=40 Shame that all the images have been deleted from the thread. They would have been useful. I seem to recall the issue...

The Kat came to me with the reversed fuel filter. It means the longer you drive the fuller your tank, as the fuel follows the arrow of course

That looks good.

Excellent. It seems like years since we spent the day with Maddie the dog ( since passed) picking up that 240….

For as well engineered as the 96-98 cars were I never understood why the front abs wires were part of the actual harness without a plug-in to replace them. They did it from 99 on though. 1999 is for people who get nice things…. I must have resoldered by rear 1999 brake abs sensor wire 6x before fin...

The battery fire is just a free cremation! They should market that as an estate saver.

It’s great to see a real safety Centre. Everything in Sweden is just bettre.

I once drove one back from Rhode Island with a battery on its last legs, with a great alternator, and each time I used the high beams, the ABS faulted and chirped and gave me an ABS co...

I have a cylinder head or two upstate that I could get one from if you get stuck. There are probably only two parts used on the whole P80 product line here, 1992-2000, with a part break in early 1999 model year when valves went from 7mm to 6mm diameter.
