    Search Amazon for "power probe." Hundreds of these on the market now with varying levels of functionality. Power Probe is a name brand, so you may find a lot of this one brand, but there are a lot...

    Ah, the neglected cabin air filter. When I first changed mine right after acquiring my XC70 in 2017, there was so much junk in the compartment. It hadn't been changed in many, many years (if ever)....

    It looks like you've already dropped the coin, but a wheel carrier is generally a good part to replace with a salvage part. Only concerns would be excessive corrosion or being bent in an accident,...

    All wheels will be marked with the size and offset. Just check the backside of the salvage wheels and compare to yours to be sure. Below is the marking on my stock 16 in 2002 V70XC wheel. 16x7...

    Read the fine print on returning that CEM. I'd be concerned that electronic parts become non-returnable if they've been installed.

    Good luck. Electrical gremlins like this are the toughest to...

    I was just noticing the dearth of people pics, so here are a few.

    And, I noticed I don't have any pics with me in it from this Death Valley trip, so I added a couple at the end from other outings....

    This was the big one I've been prepping for for 4 years. The XC performed flawlessly, which I'm obviously happy about.

    So far, the only issue I've had was on our last outing to Death Valley Natl....
