Did the V70 headliner fit into the 850? If so, how did you deal with the climate sensors by the front grab handles?

I need to replace my 850 Wagon headliner and wondering if this is still a good option.

looking for the "upside down L" painted metal trim that goes on the rear quarter glass of an 850 wagon or 98-00 V70. Looking for a set (left and right) in 019 black, if the paint is in good shape. It comes off by removing the two torx screws near the front, then sliding it forward. I'm located in ce...

Just another option for replacing a failed OE or Ramac cable: My cable went bad on my 99 V70, so I found a Deka cable #00282 at the parts store that was exactly the same length and worked great with a little bending on the battery end eyelet to make it a 90 degree. At the starter end, no modificatio...

Did a compression test last night, was fine, 180, 178, 179, 174, 180. I guess I'll just drive it and hope for the best.

Ok, thanks. I will continue to monitor it. We have two 850s and I have never seen this glitter in the coolant of their engines.

In my 1999 V70 that I just bought, which has a 2004 or 2005 S60 T5 engine in it, I replaced the radiator and heater core, since they were both leaking. When I drained the coolant, there was a bunch of silvery specks in it, looks like glitter. I think it is aluminum since it did not attract to a magn...

So I fiddled with it some more, gave the glass a push while holding the switch, and it went up. Still not sure what the issue was, but it goes up now on its own.
