A ‘98 V90 popped up for sale here in Canada. Serpentine belt broke, won’t turn over with new belt. Haven’t seen the car yet. Found the post in here about a ‘97 with a broken serpentine belt that damaged the timing belt. Whether it’s the serpentine or timing belt that’s bad, does anyone know if these...

The (early?) P2 power drivers seat that only allows adjustment for so&soshort after starting, no readjustment possible if you get tired of the current position after longer driving & in the rare occasion that she's driving, she's having fun with it too, usually she gets in, closes the door, ...
