I'm getting ready to do this job but I can't find the part numbers for the shoes or the springs. I may have also listed the wrong P/N for the rivet but maybe I don't need that? Does anybody have...

Thanks for saving it from the crusher. If you do spend the money to fix everything, take good pics and post it in the Classifieds on some Volvo forums, people will travel tou you to buy the car. ...

Sorry I don't have any comments on the trans, I can be blasted for a useless post that has nothing to do with your problem.

""Check Engine" light, (I despise using "secret code" abbreviations!)"...

x3 on xemodex ETMs and almostarctic is right on, buy a nice one for $5,000+ or buy a cheap one and pay the difference to make it nice. No, these are not Accords and it is not reasonable to expect to...

Funny, answer to a Ford Q in a Volvo forum. Just to be clear, I knew most of that and have replaced some of those white bushings. I still need to replace the rest and test correct function but I...

There's a forum for that http://www.fordforumsonline.com/forum/ford-edge/ but I'm just messing with you guys. I have actually been over there though.

If you have a Windstar and need a headache...

Oh man Jim, I'm sorry to see that. But yes, fantastic that the person stayed. I lucked out twice. The first time this happened to me was in a private parking lot. The guy apologized, I sent him...

Georgio, for cars in this forum, 302 mm rotors depends on the wheels. If this is for a 2004, you are posting in the wrong forum. Try 2001-2007 XC70 (V70XC)

Almostarctic: I forgot to say, thanks for the kind words. I am thrilled with how the wheels turned out. Also, I should mention that powder coaters will expect to receive the wheels with no valve...

Aw dangit' and I realized this morning in the shower of all places, I kept referring to the latter cars all as XC70s. My Suburban is a GMT800 but I have to be careful because some say GMT830 for the...

KB3MMX is right, and in terms of features, you would have to have a fully loaded Suby to compare to a base XC70. I suspect the Subaru is the more solid / capable AWD system. I'm not up to date on...

Ok, my mistake and thanks for clearing up the mud I stirred up. Always appreciated!

I must have been typing at the same time as JRL :-) There was no reply to post #9 when I started typing, then I got long-winded and started spouting off about stuff I have read about but not touched....

We are on opposite sides of the same coin. I have a '99 V70XC. Whenever I have a chance to speak to a '01+ XC70 driver, I ask how they like their car / would they buy another and everybody always...

I doubt injecting glue into the shaft would be the solution but you really don't have much to lose. if not, you still just need a visor. Velcro / tape will mess up the headliner. Then you have...

That is exactly what I did, the Homelink upgrade. I negotiated mine into a deal with some other stuff from Erie. The install went pretty smoothly, just do it on a warm day so the plastic is...

I too was wondering about foglights but for other reasons. I am looking at replacing my XC front bumper with a R front bumper and wasn't sure if the fogs were interchangeable or not.

I have been...

I am no longer in need of any of this. I found and installed all the parts. It sounds great! I wrote up my experience and added it to the excellent thread, "Amplifier - How Volvo adds it" over on...

I asked around, searched forums, checked for a filter (non found) checked check valves (ok), moved on to pump.

After all this, I began to check the hoses at the top side of the tank. Mainly just...

I answered 3) Died and replaced, Volvo's expense

I have not had to deal with this but I read vexed and checked mine, it has the yellow sticker and I did not pay for it directly so I chose the...

Funny, and yes I get ad nauseam, kicking a dead horse, etc etc...

But for those of us who did not participate in the last nnn discussions on it, have searched, looked at the sticky posts in the...

Ok, this is making me curious, maybe I should start a poll.

I love my Gen1 XC. Every chance I get to speak to a gen2 V70 owner, I ask how they like their car. So far, there is 100% satisfaction...

I have a '99 V70XC. When I pull the parking brake handle, nothing happens. When releasing, I discover it actually did slightly apply the brake and now it didn't release and squeaks for a few...

Jim, this is a beautiful XC. Can you share what you do to "refinish" the steering wheel and seat?

Was the steering wheel replaced, recovered, cleaned, other? I guess I have the same Q for the...

OK, I bought a SC-901 and a 9452029 under-seat amp based on a promise that I could get the 9452030 wiring harness but that deal fell apart. Now I have the radio and amp but no way to connect them. ...
