What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Hi all! Finally finished replacing the left front lower control arm on my daughter’s 02 V70. Had some challenges, like the rear bushing bolt rounding off, and then having to round up a replacement, but it’s done!

Have been driving the XC70 a fair bit, some early summer traveling.

Need to send in for the mileage achievement certificate from Volvo. I have two over 190k…hoping they make it to 200!

Is that still a thing? I've got 244,000 miles on my 2004 XC70.

Drove up to the Highlands today to babysit my granddaughter. This is the first long drive since doing all the much needed work to the car and it’s like driving a 2 year old car. Nice having a bit of grunt when overtaking on the twisty winding single roads. The odometer clicked over 65,000 miles as I left home

My kids 2002 S60 got some ugly knocked off. Passenger side headlight lens was cracked and coming apart. New $70 eBay assembly had reflectors flaking their silver so just swapped the glass, nice you can do that on earlier P2s.

While there took a shot at painting the ugly faded trim no plastic restoration goop would fix with Krylon Fusion plastic compatible paint. As I posted in the other thread I paused at the Walmart aisle debating matte vs satin, satin was choice but more gloss in it than so hoped.

Lastly in prep for the airbag recall got console pulled to swap SRS controller as code is showing an internal fault. eBay seller indicated 01-09 but of course later one ($17) wouldn’t fit the connector. Should have spent $837 at Volvo for a new one lol but ordered another $17 unit of proper part number now I have access to the part.

Nice. What did you use to bond the headlight glass?

Given the clips were there, just a thin bit of silicone…call me a hack…
