What's not to love about junk yards! Prices, indeed, but where else one can get an "education" on anatomy and R&R of automotive components at the whooping $2.00 entry fee!

I'm now comfortable removing the front bumper, headlights, grill, door cards... Well aware or the light bulbs location with in the center console electronics and such... Priceless education!

Big spender too! $10 today brought home a mint driver's side front door grill (mine is cracked)



All the plastic valve cover/timing cover pieces and fuel rail cover (going to tidy up my brother's 99 V70XC)

And decided to make a "flush" adapter for transmission service, so as part of the junk yard trip, I got this factory piece/return line from another 2004 XC, added the clear tubing



3 jugs of IDEMITSU fluid arrived today from Amazon



Tomorrow we change the fluid, just need to get the "O" rings for return line and the crush washer for the drain plug from the dealer tomorrow after work.
