Yeah, I have a '98 S90. Picked it up back in March for $100. It needs a transmission, but it's still kind of drivable. I'm thinking about swapping in a T6 engine from an S80/XC90. And replacing the trans of course! If you mean doing a manual swap, it's very easy on those cars. Otherwise, all of the ...

I'm not.

Got some emails coming through this morning. Seems to be working now!

Definitely! List it in the classifieds section. I'd buy it if I didn't just buy an S60!

Yes, the B5234T is a direct swap for your 1997 GLT. You'll want to try to find one from the same model year, although a 1998 S70 or V70 T5 or HPT C70 should be the same. Being a 1997, I'm assuming this is a Motronic 4.4 car, so a 1998 shouldn't be any different from a 1997 2.3. You could use a 1999+...

Search on car-part.com. There may be one listed nearby. Also check lkqonline.com. Most places will also ship it to you if you can't find one locally.
Of course if you can find one someone's selling privately, that would be ideal!

The starter could be a little weak, it's a common problem on these V8s. If it's running well otherwise, this is likely your issue. My starter is a little weak at times as well, especially when it's hot, but it always starts. When they test the starter, they're basically just testing to make sure it ...

I believe you need to remove a smaller coolant line or heater hose to access the starter on this engine. You may not need to drain it completely if you have some of those hose clamp-off pliers, but it will certainly help to minimize the mess. It's probably not too urgent as long as the starter isn't...

Uhhh... that's not how you remove cam seals. I'm not at all surprised they're leaking. Hopefully you just damaged the cams and not the head/cam cover, just the cams will be easier to replace.
If this was for the 850, let me know if you need the cams. I have a set I can sell you.

What size hoses do you need for the 302mm upgrade? Looking to do it on my 850 soon - especially since my insurer doesn't classify it as a modification. On the topic of insurance though, does anyone actually understand the thought process (or lack thereof) of insurers? Brake upgrade is totally fine ...
