2007 xc70. Anyone use a split cv boot replacement?

I just found the passenger side cv boot is perished and I really don't want to spend anymore time and money on the car than I need to.
Anyone have experience using a split boot and if so, how did it turn out and which one did you get...

Could the non-functional AWD be an easy fix on a 2007 XC70?

I'm selling our XC70 and most respondents to my ad ask if the WAD is functional, which it isn't.
I'm not sure what the issue is with it, I bought it that way 3 years ago and haven't driven the car much since but I get around in it ok.
A fellow came this week and suggested that the also non ...

How do I test the rad fan on my 2007 XC 70?

I had a diagnostic done on the car by a garage and they said one of the fans doesn't turn on.
I didn't know there were two but in any case, sure enough, on a hot summer day the temp gauge climbed into the red.
How do I test this?
Does anyone have a circuit diagram?
Thanks.

Re: Stuck Rear seat seatbelts on 2007 XC70. Fixable?

Thanks.
The little plastic stop is there.
What I tried after writing this post is banging on the back of the seat and 9 times out of ten this worked in allowing the belt to be pulled out.
I imagine however the retractor is built, it's gummed up a bit. Ideally it probably needs a bit of WD 40 or ...

Stuck Rear seat seatbelts on 2007 XC70. Fixable?

I had a go at trying to fix a rear seatbelt that won't pull out at times. I didn't have much success, stopping when I saw it was getting quite involved.
What's the way to deal with these rear belts?

2007 XC70 loses almost all power while in Cruise control...

It has happened twice.
First time I was pulling away from a parking lot and onto a highway. Gunned it and put on the cruise control then realized I was too slow for traffic coming up behind me so I pressed the + repeatedly to increase my cruising speed. The car pretty much immediately lost all power ...

2007 XC70. Which rack & pinion fits?

I've been told that there are two types of rack and pinion for my model and year. One has screw-in pipe connectors the other is press fit.
Is that correct and if so, how would or could I know which one my car has ahead of time when going to a car breaker/auto recycler which one I'm going to need or ...

does anyone do or know how to do a historic legend for their repairs and expenses?

I have a big folder of receipts from my 07 Xc70's previous owner.
I've tried going through it to figure out how much he's spent over the years and what has been done and I thought if I had a time scale or legend, such as we see for the evolution of cars, let's say, then I could better visualize all ...
