Thank you, tardcart—I tried that, but still couldn't convince the nut to fit on the tank neck. I'll try to post a photo tomorrow of the tank threads being out of round. Not sure if either of these points help, but the nut wasn't loose when it came off initially. It wasn't too hard to budge, but took...

Teddy1975, were you ever able to get the new ring properly installed? My tank neck threads are currently swollen, as well. They actually appear to be out of round. I can get the ring started, but like Ozark Lee mentioned [... way back in May 2017], it quickly starts to cross thread. Lubricating hasn...

Thanks for the confirmation that the Bougicord wires and Bosch cap and rotor should still be okay. Yesterday, crawling on the highway during rush hour, I had to keep one foot on the brake and the other on the gas to try and prevent it from stalling. Finally I pulled over, let it die, and couldn't re...

Thank you for the feedback and the great leads, everybody! I stopped by Advance Auto Parts on the way to work, and they no longer check CELs…. After work, when I was ready to swing by Auto Zone and try again, the CEL had disappeared. ? If it comes back, I'll go back to Auto Zone, since they said ove...

1998 S70, 107k miles The engine has been acting weird recently— - Got home from a 7 hour drive, and after getting off the highway, at the first red light, engine felt like it was losing power for a second and then came back to life. - That kind of behavior has repeated some over the past few days, b...

One body shop quoted about $2000, another about $3000, but their prices included them getting the parts and installing them, plus painting, and/or cleaning up the damaged door if they were going to try and re-use and re-align it. The third shop, which said I could probably skip the pillar, said the ...

Thanks, rspi and JRL! Unfortunately, the accident was my fault. Many years of safe driving (and luck), but this was a really stupid mistake. So I'm paying out of pocket, and have a really limited budget. Even $800 is really pushing it (about $400 for parts, and $350+ if I need to get the pillar pull...

I got into an accident last week—thankfully nobody injured, and comparatively minor damage to both vehicles. Even though I've done more repairs than I ever thought possible prior to discovering Volvo forums, and especially MVS, I know almost nothing about body work, and have two questions— 1. Door C...

Ideally, I'd like to sell this car whole to someone who wants to get it back on the road.

But since I have to get it out of the driveway within the next week, that's probably not happening.

Anybody looking for parts?

Thanks!
