Well I settled for a set of tires and have put about 1000 miles on them and 200 of that has been the approach to my house. I wanted to thank wanderdüne, I appreciated all of the recommendations and I looked into all of them. I priced each one and did some solid reading on them. I wanted to thanks Ma...

Forgive me if I need to start another thread. But all the videos and explanations I've seen do not show the size flywheel that I h...

Hello guys! I have recently been cursed or blessed with the purchase of a hardly used 2004 xc90. And by that I mean used hard. I also broke the elbow off on the thermostat housing.
