Everything just about done on her now.
Got the new (used) park sensors to work... but not properly, :( (V70 did not come with them). The first go around they were always beeping in reverse, we had to use a different VIDA setting but they still beep :evil: ... more diagnosis Tuesday to try to find out what I need to change... plus the Polestar tune went in a couple of weeks ago!

...and I finally broke down and bought a new camera, one that takes a 1000 times better picture in auto setting as I'm a terrible photographer :facepalm:.

I advised my son that he needs to clean the black that has formed on his front wheels (spoke type) on his S60.

you just peeled the gray paint from them ;) I did it on my 98 S70 and I actually liked it more! Black colored knobs were more appealing than grey
