Re: What did you do to your Volvo today?

Hi, Have you seen how the oil filter is buried in the 1998 v70? I can find a pic. I'd be lucky to get a bag around it. I dont like going under vehicles anymore though this car is way too heavy. Once you loosen it, just before it starts to drip slip a bag over it and move the rubber band all the way...

Re: Thinking of Selling, 1998 v70

A 2010 Ford or Chevy will be pretty cheap to service and maintain as there are many more independents and chains that can do domestic stuff.

But, they are a panache in the ass, and verve hard to fix, and are apt to give you m-elan-oma (har har)
