The next repair will be on the dashboard, because the attachments for the kickpanel are broken on both sides...

Is that a common problem with Volvo V70s that this tab of the kickpanel breaks?
Or were the previous owners of my car just hacks who ripped the panel out instead of taking it out carefully?

If it's a common issue, I can publish the model files for the repair part.

Best to do that stuff in bulk! I have a few things I need to send back, but it’s not enough yet. I like those bigger chunks of credit to show on my account!

Managed to get an oil change done on the V70 today, a bit later than usual because i was out of filters, then ordered the wrong one :oops:

Just like a month ago, it decided to run on 4 cylinders this morning. Unplugged/replugged the injectors like last time and it runs fine again :roll:
The damn thing is jealous about the latest addition to the fleet being the center of attention and not swedish :lol: I need to order supplies to make a new injector loom
