Thanks, I've thought about it (lots!) more and will try that next time. Which will be soon as I can't get away with using the old rotors so I've bought some new ones from Volvo and will get around to installing them in the next week or so.

'98 S70 - front brake pad installation

I did the front pads on my S70 on Friday, for the first time, and all went well EXCEPT for the bloody re-installation of the retainer springs! I stuffed about for about 15 minutes each side before I managed to wrestle them into place. Please, anyone, is there a tip to make it less of a hassle? I thi...

Interior door panels

Probably as a result of our summer in Florida heat, the 'leather' on my door panels has bubbled and is coming away from the door. I presume this is the glue used by Volvo(?). Do I just take it to a body shop and they know what to do to fix? Or is there any way I could do it myself?
Thanks

Thanks a lot!
I had a suspicion my speedo may have gone on the fritz as part of the ABS problem. I'll get the ABS module first, then see if the problem persists (suspect it will :-( )

Parts on E-Bay - advice

Hey, all, I need a headlamp glass to replace a broken one (damn construction trucks on the highway!), and thought it could get expensive from a dealer. E-Bay was suggested, and sure enough, a few available so I bought one. Which leads to the bigger question - I see there are scads of parts available...
