I actually did it myself on the S70 without taking any measurements... believe it or not, it's damn near perfect. Well, maybe I took one or two measurements on the front to rear of the tires just to get that slight toe-in.
Hopefully I can get over there this afternoon, these things always come up when my schedule is jam packed. Then I need to see if I can cut the FWD exhaust and make it work temporarily... I can't handle the drone!

Did an oil change and a drain and fill on the coolant. Happy Canuck Day to All!

Did you fix it using a bolt extractor??

Haven't touched it since I broke it. Work and weather got in the way, starting on it tomorrow but I picked up a set of left hand drill bits and hopefully I have stub of the bolt showing when I pull the cam gear tomorrow.

I topped 600 miles on a single tank of 91 octane fuel on a round trip to Cape Cod, at an average of 33.5mpg, in the 2000 m/t base V70 without functioning a/c.

Wow! That's some excellent gas mileage! It's really crazy to see just how high you can get that number on these cars when you drive them right. My cousin once got around 31 mpg in his old '99 NA auto S70.

Right? I was impressed when I approached 400 miles on a single tank. Oh, and I did it with a brand-new clutch. The old one, had some of the spring elements (?) bent around the 7 o’clock position.

: 2000 V70 OE clutch at 188,000 miles

Replaced the gear shift light with an led off a amazon light strip and some resistors. Was a ***** to get into the slot but I like the results.

Got my alignment fixed today thanks to my cousin. I wish I had just had him do it the first time... they tried to tell me at the place I went the other day that the P2 specs would be perfectly fine for my car (and that their computer only went back to 2001 (hence P2 specs) which I also don't totally believe since it's the same Hunter software most shops have), which I knew for 100% fact was wrong. He also claimed that because it's lowered, my steering wheel was WAY off to the right. Not the case! It was practically undrivable.
Took 10 minutes to correct it to P80 specs, and now the wheel is perfectly straight... imagine that!
