Today I unbolted the 3rd row seat belt and discovered that the assembly tucks neatly away into the side panel.

Finally got the fuel tank repaired and installed only to find these bastards disintegrated.

Flight with right headlight, outside M6 bolt, found captive nut in headlight was no longer captive. Apparently Stockholm syndrome did not apply. Secured with zip tie. Installed new right turn signal to get rid of painters tape, finally.

New spark plugs, mine look a little rich on shoulders , grey/ white on nose.

New fog light

Oil on top of head. Removed cover and cleaned off. Will monitor

Friday - drained coolant, removed lower radiator hose's upper connection near right side of engine. Cleaned nipple and reseated hose on it. Installed constant torque hose clamp. Torqued to spec roughly via man power.

So far no leaks there. Now need to look into the potential of the heater core or the connections to it (o-rings) potentially leaking.

Finally is right!

At least you didn't Gorilla tape the crap out of it like some people do. They'd rather ruin their paint instead of replacing their turn signal.

So today I did changed a few things on my S70. First of all, I changed the oil and oilfilter. Then, I changed the brakefluid. I borrowed a tester from a friend of mine and it said it had 3% water in the system. Then I changed the airfilter and the cabinfilter. But then...

I noticed the box in the left of the engine bay (see pictures below).

Can anybody tell me what it's for?

It contains the ECU!

It contains the ECM (Engine Control Module) and the TCM (Transmission Control Module).

Well, I was a little dumbfounded when my S70 just a hour ago refused to run. It would crank, start and run for a second and then shut of. I read something about faulty immobilisers and stuff, so I opened and closed the doors five times in a row with the keyfob and then the problem was solved. Question: how do I fix this on the long run?

You just did.

You let the car find the key and be happy with it. Run it, and I bet you wont have a problem.
