What did you do to your 850/X70 today???
I'm fairly new on this forum, having recently bought the C70, however, I have been on the Classic S/V40 forum for some time and must say find everyone very helpful.
One popular thread on the X40 forum is as the title above. Instead of everyone posting 'I have a problem, how do I solve it' it is more like an old fashioned 'chat down the pub' where folks catch up with what others have been doing. Anyway I will kick off and see how it goes. No rules, just what ever you have done to your car, from a complete engine rebuild to changing a bulb. Fitted new Volvo plugs, fuel filter and changed the oil and filter. Although the car has full service history - 52,000mls - I do not know for sure what has been done so starting with the basics and going from there. Air cleaner and pollen filter were clean and good, although there was a veritable birds nest of rubbish under the scuttle panel, so all vacuumed and cleaned out like new.

Removed vacuum lines from air box, used a long bolt and a nut to close off hot air intake to box. Sadly looked at the split in the drivers seat bolster. Tried several wreckers (breakers yards) for a XC egg crate grill. Looked at carbon canister under offside wheel arch and wondered did I really need it...

I finally got round to fixing the heated driver's seat, just in time for summer.
It was just a broken wire on the thermostat, I should have fixed that when I got the car. |
