Shouted at my stoopid horn that seemed to have stopped working.
Voltmeters make diagnosis so very much easier.....


(Anyone got a low tone horn hanging about?)

Over the weekend I managed to fit two new SKF front wheel bearings, two new Volvo driveshaft seals, two new Lemförder ball joints and two new reluctor/ABS rings along with new Volvo driveshaft bolts. The NSF wheel bearing had started to rumble as a result of a failed driveshaft seal at 91,000 miles. At least it's sorted for another few years.

Here's what the oil in a good condition Volvo engine looks like after 5000 miles driving https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GBWmjtjbrU

Fixed the creaky squeaky steering in my V70.

Some clown didn't feel the need to do a tidy job of a steering rack.

The bearing that sits in the rubber boot between the bulkhead was not put in place, 40 minutes and a load Effing and Jeffing and the sod is back in place and the noise has gone.

It let so much noise from the engine bay in I thought I had a passing injector or a duff turbo.... Sounds sweet..

Not been on here in a while, in that time I have...

Replaced the clutch master cylinder, bodge-fixed the clutch position sensor with a couple of resistors to get rid of the "engine service required" light every startup (new ones are a bit hard to come by it would seem and expensive for what they are). As part of this, replaced brake fluid.

Oil/filter service, oil still looks nice after a few hundred miles, not like diesels of old where it went black after 5 mins running!

PAS fluid flush/replace with correct CHF, improved the "twitchy" assistance but still need a rack/repair the original. Seeing as it's sandwiched in there I'll be buying a used one and strip/clean/check that before fitting, will keep original and try and sort it out too.


Replaced top engine mount, found faulty during master cylinder change, with Powerflex polyurethane item. Slightly more noise transmission at idle but I think that there would be with stock too if it was not completely separated/worn down and floating! Excellent result regards smoothness on take-up and starting/shutting off, never thought it'd make that much difference.

Found evidence of water in the passenger footwell, fingers crossed the original screen isn't failing as no sign of delamination, removed glove box and hopefully traced to heater inlet seal.

Repaired the fuel door spring retainer (with a couple of self tappers for now, don't see the need to replace it until I really have to.)

Replaced the blue slider blocks in driver's window regulator, and replaced the top rivet that had been popped out so that now works nicely.
(need to find a door membrane though as previous repair attempts someone has seen fit to just rip it out, and check passenger side is intact).

Apart from that, just changed wiper blades and enjoyed miles of comfortable cruising in a 195k car that feels (steering assistance excepted) like a 50k car. Think that's me up to date, next tasks are removing the wiper arms/scuttle panel and checking around for my leak/reassembling the glovebox when it's fixed.)

EDIT- oh, just remembered I miraculously found the left mudflap we lost. It was sat by the side of the road where it must have fallen, completely undamaged and not run over, no less than 10 days after we noticed it gone! So refitted that with some long rivets.

Hehe. My 340K miles V70 suspension has recently got:

bushings:
front: subframe, controlarms, top mounts.
rear: trailing arms, top mounts, camber link

springs and B4 dampers
inner/outer tie rods
ball joint
drop links

And I feel too like driving a below 50K car if to ignore the worn but comfy seat trim

Fixed the horn (dubious connectors and a fubar’d horn sounder)
Connected VIDA and confirmed the air quality sensor is US.
Saw an error where the swirl flap was out of whack so performed the recalibration on that. Seems better.
Cleaned headlights because the best lights in the world won’t see through an inch of grime.

Good old V70, 166k and rocking on.
