Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Yeah, makes no sense to go buy a new tire just for a spare.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Yeah I've been living with an SRS light for a couple months because of the weather/buying a rehab house/fixing up my truck. It's ok to be burnt out and ok to focus on other things. Junkyards always help, you could check the list around here of Do Not Leave junkyard parts and stock up on spares/thin...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Just need to drop the upper plastic trim and you should be able to get to them pretty easily.

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Ive often wondered if it was possible to retrofit the P2 style power steering reservoir. Clearly it is on C/S/V70s, but is it on 850s? If so, what's required/involved? It's not a direct swap onto a -'98 car like it is on the '99+. I'm actually not sure it can be done, just due to the design of the ...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

I had a cracked fan shroud, so I went to the JY to find a replacement. I noticed a slight difference in the style of fan blades between the older and newer P80's. Not sure if one style is better than the other, but when I removed my existing shroud, I found that it has these air flaps that no of th...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Forgot to post this with my other one. Helpful hint I just found out, when the trunk struts go bad, that heavy ass trunk lid will destroy your taillights.The passenger side was fresh in the trunk when I got the car and I replaced it too fast. Ooof... that sucks! I just put newer struts in the S70 e...

Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

That looks fantastic! I had opted to keep the 'industrial' look of having no headliner and just bare metal, which the kids noted gets REALLY hot on warm sunny days, but now I'm curious about finishing this job. What did you look for in searching for replacement cloth? How did you manage to get the ...
