Good prices and service from the ebay seller / dealer.

I've bought a few parts from them over the past year and have always arrived quickly.

The latest being a replacement ignition barrel, which I replaced today !

Fitted polyurethane bush inserts in the engine strut brace mounts. It's made a nice difference. Only took literally two minutes to fit and cost £12.50. 😁

Went to the wreckyard (over weekend) and grabbed the following for my S60 in need of TLC:
- replacement fuel flap
- trans dipstick
- front seat upholstery
- RHS steering wheel control buttons
- 3 OEM rubber mats
- 2 clips for airbox
- plastic cover for windshield wiper arm
- door card for rear door (to repair broken speaker cover)

...all for $50CAD / 28 quid. Man I love the wreckyard!!!

Having said that, getting that upholstery off the bottom of the front seat was quite the task...has me rethinking whether I'll be able to replace the existing one without breaking anything. I think I may opt to take console and rear seats out to give myself some wiggle room for removal.

Put the V70 in for a service and MOT today.
Failed on the handbrake, but not bad for a 52 plate car!
Replacing the centre and rear sections of the exhaust, even though it passed the test, but best to get it done, before it rots and breaks.

Quick wash yesterday.
