Here are a couple of pictures of the mats when I bought them, they literally were ready for the bin but as replacements are no longer available needs must and they were repaired

Cleaned my MAF sensor today. Was a PITA as the downstream hose was stuck to the sensor housing. I do not posses 5 point security bits so i just sprayed from the front and left it for 20 minutes to dry off.

Had to use pipe wrench to turn them in frozen threads. The threads were liberally lubed with marine grease last time I was touching them, they still froze. All the time.

Interesting. Did they come painted or raw steel?

Looks like they were dirty but otherwise fine except for the worn soft pads. Replaced with indoor/outdoor carpet?

A most uneventful Christmas trip in the V70 this year, yes the wind was blowing a hooley as we drove north of Spean Bridge without incident as the car took it all in its stride on 23rd. Then to the 24th I went for a drive to Glen Nevis and Glenfinnan to get me out the house for a break...

-5°C this morning and with the heavy rain last night the door handles had frozen, the door seals however were fine as I had coated them with Gummi Pflege a few weeks ago. Once the car was opened I checked the oil and water level and stuck my hand under the turbo to check there was no more oil leaks after its rebuild.

My V70 experienced about the same temperature this morning, although I called it 24 F. It turned over just fine and after scrapping some frost, we went out for breakfast before dawn.
This afternoon it got a much needed transmission drain and refill of 3 quarts. It was a nasty color.
