Re: 2004 S60 - Jumping another car

There's a bunch of ground connectors on the inside of the fender close to the positive terminal under the hood. So it's the same as getting a jump start. At least that's how I've done it a few times.

From what i am gathering, one can ground the negative to the chassis of the car instead of the negative on the battery when using the Volvo to jump another car. Is this accurate?
Yes.

Re: 2001 v70 base stereo replacement

The doors are 6,5". Any regular speaker with shallow-ish mounting depth will fit. Old speaker holders are reused after original speakers have been removed using mild force and heat to soften the glue.

Re: 2004 S60 headlight glass

You neither need to remove the wheel nor drill the rivets holding the wheel well interior. Unless someone before you has mounted the stuff wrong. The little torx to loosen the front plastic cover of the car is exposed by a small cutout. A little spray lubricant does wonders before you start turning ...

Colder and you want lighter. The operating weight is more important. The difference in actual oil temperatur...

Re: 1,350 mile drive on 179k 2009 S40

That's not that far. I wouldn't keep a car at all that I couldn't trust to last a trip like that. Milage shouldn't be an issue at all but rather the general condition of the car which you probably know best yourself.
