Did a video about the various seats available on most S60 V70 XC70 S80 and XC90 cars from 2001 to 2009 (or 2007, 2014 depending on the model). These are the leather ones that we got here in North America https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGl0YHTG4x4

Two videos with the fast idle and the sunroof drains cleaning - in particular in the second video I talk how my side airbag got wet because of a clogged sunroof drain

Grumpy that my “alarm needs service” worded warning came on yesterday.
I’m assuming that’s the alarm detecting that the alarm batteries are FUBAR’d and just about to start leaking? |

Will try some Mole Grips, tried Stillsons etc no joy, I think the heavy bit (Chisel and Hammer) may be a bit drastic , could distort the sump or crack it ! Anyway Rain has Stopped play !!! 8c here and very heavy rain, it appears that the UK is going to get a decent Easter !

That nut can indeed get stuck if a previous mechanic did his work out on it because the washer was slightly leaking As for sucking the oil through the dipstick, it's almost impossible. Not only the tube will be very thin and the oil hard to 'start' leaking because it sits low to the ground inside the oil pan and has to travel all the way up then drain on a pan that also sits low on the ground so really hard. May try at least with the engine slightly warmed up (not fully), will fluidify the oil and help a little - don't suck with your mouth, used oil is cancerigenous

Weld a spanner to it
Centre punch, drill and EZ out it Mole grips (genuine ones, not some Halfords pony excuse for a pair) Cold chisel and hammer Hammer an old socket onto it Thoughts and prayers. All ideas better than sucking out through the dipstick tube..... |
