Swapped in a used power driver seat into Shagg ( thanks Dirk) until I sort out the gearbox on the original. Put in a new battery

Fun 1999 fact #666. When the bus voltage on the ME7 gets iffy, cruise control goes first.

Shaggkira is returning a steady 28 mpg at 70 mph on my ferry trips

I’ll get back to you as soon as pack up these used ATF oil line o rings for Neil

I do love when routine maintenance like a drain and fill catches a problem before it happens the road.

Kudos to Volvo on the redundance here , too.

I wonder if I acted a bit hastily here ?
Are you finished with those pedal pads?

I admit it can be hard, but I try it sometimes myself.

I've heard some people spend money on new gasket too, it's crazy. I always get them at the junkyard. They just give them to me... they could be making so much money on those!
Any time there's a small split or crack in a gasket, the cheapest RTV available at HF works very well to smooth things out.

Just finished up about 1,700 miles of traveling for our recent trip to the South Carolina Lowcountry.

The Thule pod added much needed carrying capacity, but shot the gas mileage. At least we can take it off when we don't need it.

Great looking car. As for mileage, just somehow raise the rear of the pod and block the airflow at the front :lol: .
