Lucky!

Been waiting for months for a local junkyard to get anything useful

Pick a part yard near me finally got an 850 in so I went pickin’ over the weekend! Got a nice set of gray carpet and parts to fix the cruise control (module and vacuum pump). While I had the seats out of my ‘96 850 GLT to replace the carpet I redid the headliner too. Gray carpet actually looks real...

Been a joy to bring her back to life after being neglected for years before I got her. Luckily she was low miles at around 55,000. Now she has 63,000 and climbing. Wow, sounds like you found a gem there with that low mileage. Hopefully the timing belt was replaced for age. [/quote] We live on the e...

I was the first person in over 20 years to get the trip computer activated at the dealership.
They charged 1/2 hr and ‘tester’ fee - total was probably 10% of cars entire value.

AFAIK that remote is for 1998 and later cars only. Check the fitment tab in this IPD listing:

Looks really good!

I'm glad you managed to work it out. I've just managed to get mine working too. I keep unlocking and locking it as I walk past, just because I can. Both my previous 850 (purchased in February 2014) and the current one (June 2018) came without working remotes. There was a non-functioning one with the...
