I have a lot of experience working on cars just not a lot of experience on windows specifically. No problem on tools, I've got those.

Broken glass, 1996 850 wagon

My lawn mower was rolling around in the back and it smashed the rearmost side window in my wagon. If I find another window, how hard is it to do this myself? I see it has heating elements in it although I'm not even certain they still worked before the breakage occurred.

Thanks MIJ, I told them not to move forward on replacing the muffler. Assuming I discover some part of the muffler is in need of replacement, where do I go about getting parts? I didn't see anything on FCP Groton or eeuroparts.com.

Muffler replacement, 2002 V70-XC

Dealer just called to tell me I need a new muffler. I dropped car at dealer this morning for lower control arm bushing install. I haven't picked the car back up yet to see exactly what they're saying is bad but they quoted me $900. How can that be? What are my options? Can I go aftermarket? That's a ...

Lower control arm, 1996 850 wagon

About 5 months ago I had a new (right) front control arm installed in my 850. Less than 10K miles later, it's bad again. I'm installing the next one myself. I can't imagine that this part going bad so quickly is common but, at the same time, is it entirely uncommon? I don't know if the part that was ...

Dealer read the codes and, as VCA suggested, they were misfire codes. Come to find out I had a bad coil. Fixed now and car is happy again.

Thanks to all for your assistance.

Thanks, does the fact that the CEL doesn't stay illuminated tell me anything?

2002 V70-XC, 120K miles, lacking power

Earlier today my 02 V70 started running almost like it wasn't firing on all cylinders. Even at idle, the engine is clearly loping. The car will drive but it lacks power. On any sort of incline it will struggle and the CEL will flash until I'm no longer calling for power at which time it extinguishes ...
