Hello-
This is for any and all of the Volvo owners on this website-
I have many parts for 740_ 960_ V90_S90 that I'd like to sell, if possible, on this website- example: V90 or S90 door latch assembly (drivers)_940 parking lite- V90 parking lite-740 chrome headlight rim- some bushings for rear suspensions on 740 sedan. I have a fan assembly and an alternator that is in very good condition. plastic outer wheel covers (seven of them) for Volvo- relays and some switches for windows -
so how do I post photos?
Is there any possible interest in these itiems?
Thanks for replies.

Never thought of that… I completely removed mines.

Did a timing belt on my friend's 210k mile 96 850 with a mystery mileage, peeled timing belt sticker and found everything pretty good, could have gotten another 50k+ out of it.

Then dealt with the horror of aftermarket ECT sensors, all of which were reading high resistance and would be telling the car it's cooler than it actually is. Had his coolant bubbling over and steaming out of the cap while the car wouldn't even turn the fans on. Had him unplug the sensor until he can get a Volvo one to force the fans on all the time.
Two facet sensors both bad out of the box. And the Volvo sensor is now $132 for an 850/98 compared to $35 for a later car. Makes me cringe the amount of good sensors that have gone to scrap.

Someone was scrapping an 850. Highlight is definitely getting what looks to be an original R bumper for $40

Did the main delta link bushings on her car (again) today.

Both were coming apart after about 60K miles. (Febi from FCP)

Running the 5/16" drill bit through the outer plastic shell works a treat to free things up and make removal a breeze.
