Been there, done that! When I got my 940 I swapped the cloth interior for leather, replaced all the door cards and gave it a good clean, took me the best part of a day. Battery was only a few weeks old too! Mind you, i'd had the radio going for a while too!

Looks like you have a nice car there Luxobarge. I picked up a '98 V70 AWD about three weeks ago, and my repair list is very similar to yours. Must check the handbrake shoes too, adjusted it 'tother day and its still not holding properly.
