Oh- and thanks to abscate for the consultation with Confucius!!!

Thanks, foggy and scot, I talked to a very friendly rep at ipd after exhausting options. I like their loaded struts- has all the good, proprietary bits and saves a LOT of hassle. I have spring compressors, but meh.
The rep assured me they weren't like 2+ months out; I should have them end of month ...

Heehee, is that guy still around giving advice?
Yeah, about what I expected. The ipd nice ones appear to be assembled from scratch and are WAY out, time wise. Still searching

2000 V70XC needs struts, in a bit of a hurry. The ones I can get off Amazon (nothing locally!) are rather cheap/inexpensive

Too big a gamble, has anyone tried them?

Thanks

Oof da! A lot of trouble and no fix, sorry!
Keep us updated on what the problem is please!

So, couple days ago fuel pump was replaced as I did not have a pressure in fuel rail when the car was turned off. That did not fix the issue. Car still dies after few minutes of running, When I disconnect ...

Yeah, dang
One (tiring, messy) search result mentioned a non-return valve.
Thoughts?

Usually have to crank 3-6 seconds
New: fuel filter 200 miles ago
Vid shows 52ish running, several on/off cycles up to maybe 30ish with several tries
Then bleeds off
Q: What's the most likely cause/fix?
The long crank is my concern
Thanks!

I totally agree!!! June

I'm going with it, but I have a warped sense of humor and love irony and the absurd.
I bet I'll get more giggles than sneers.

That reminds me, I'm going to get some Club (as in a card deck) stickers printed up.
I Club my Volvo
I Club my Shitzu
I Club my...

That's great!
