Greetings gents. I am the sad former owner of a V70 (1998) that went to a good friend for her daughter. Upon moving my stuff in a spring cleaning, I found the following items: EMPI CV boot kit # 86-2188-D (likely left side boot kit, brand new) Volvo Dolby unit (020110), perfect condition bought from...

Finally getting back to my preferred vehicle combo: Toyota truck and motorcycle. My beloved "Blueberry" needs a new home. Original owner put 133K on it, I added another 30K trouble free miles. The list of repairs is long, but the crucial ones include cooling system restoration+heater core,...

Well $500 became $1013 after the body shop took things apart. It may have easier to get money from the uninsured lady who hit me than the insurance though. According to Progressive, they can't pay out until the other company officially denies coverage. So I am out of pocket for it, but the car looks...

I bought this from a forum member but stopped the radio project at SC901 + 4 by 50 amp. Sounds awesome as is and I didn't feel like sourcing and installing the new dash unit with center speaker.

Perfect condition, has stock bracket.

$40 plus shipping from 92110.

Thanks!

OK Matt! I missed the posts in question, but as usual, MVS came through. It's been so long since I've made any claim or had an accident, the process was foreign to me. Made appt. with two independents for estimates with OEM headlight assemblies. Will keep you all posted and post some before and afte...

Get a long handled screwdriver or mechanics stethoscope and poke around to isolate the noise. Did your car overheat? Did the sound start after that? Need more info.

I see 245K miles. That's a lot of mileage, so it may be simple wear and tear. Any other symptoms, and how long have you owned the car?

Yea, we have more consumer protection here in Cali. Not that that makes it better! Corpus Christi is my family home. Love Texas.

Alpine CA? The Volvo dealer just told me they sometimes write in clauses saying "we can use the equivalent part" blah blah. It will get interesting if they don't do a good job and I contest. This guy suggested I get 2-3 competing estimates to show they are way off with $500-something for w...
