that’s pretty but neutral color cars make me sad. Life requires color.

I do covet the really pretty s70 aroun the corner from me in ?Royal blue? …I’ll find a picture

Totally forgot…dusted off my Cold War skills and pulled off a dead drop with Firefox.

We crossed paths in CT , both of us on tight schedules , and this couldn’t meet. We shook our CIA tails, and I dropped parts in a safe and secure location, after marking the mailbox for alert

The package is secure

Changed the cabin air filter since our cars are all yellow from the pollen.

Now, I’m trying to replace the rear ABS sensors but am finding them stuck in their holders. Also, do I have to drop the fuel tank? The space seems really tight for getting the connector in or out, and two videos (for an 850 and an AWD) on YouTube have slightly different setups that don’t look like my ’98 V70.

You don't need to drop the tank, the connector is accessible under the cargo floor, right near the fuel pump access panel. It might take some creative fishing to get the new one in place, but it's not too hard.
