Attempted to fix the squeaky aux belt. Removed the tensioner from the broken V70, found that it was broken. Swapped the idler pulley with no change. Took the tensioner of the 850, found the bearing was shot. Used spare idler pulley for tensioner, dropped 8mm allen socket into the engine bay vortex, put everything back together, squeak still present. Curses.
Removed undertray, socket not there. Eventually found socket resting on top of bottom arm, but not before running hand over every oily surface in the engine bay.
My "grain of wheat" bulbs arrived today so I butchered the ashtray and shift light holders. The bulbs are too fat really but they will do until the new slimline ones arrive from China. I've lost the holder for the lighter, which makes me sad, but at least I know what gear I'm in.
