Sorry to hear about your loss. It's great to hear you go to spend so much time with her for the last 18 months. Surely she loved seeing all those sights and being with you all the while. You did well for her.

I spoke to Volvo dealer a couple of days ago and they said they were on back order/special order and would be about 4 weeks. I am about to test that theory!

When I called Volvo of Annapolis back then they said their system called it a dead part number ( 1387105 ). Maybe our Cousins in the Brick World made enough noise they sourced a vendor to make them again. Let us know if your order seems to go through.

+1 on that too!

2 years ago on the shock boots. Wow! Just goes to show how fast times pass when you are enjoying yourself or going senile!! :D

I'll let you know how it goes on the boot order. The on-line Volvo Dealer in Vancouver also said it should be here in 3-4 weeks. I have to say based on your experience I expect to be disappointed, but really hope not!

Seems to be working. No more creeping when sitting in traffic is a great improvement 😀Already cost me an insurance copay 😡

The NGKs were ca. 2-3 ergs beyond finger tight. I'm astonished it ran as well as it did - but to be fair, I haven't driven it 1/4 mile so far.
