Feel like the bottom of the radiator is not properly secured behind the hole in the bumper. I pulled a bumper grid from a Mazda, trimmed the sizes a little and slide it by gently pulling the bottom of the bumper to make a gap

Looks good, I really don't know why Volvo leave it open ?

Having had a broken broom handle literally falling off the back of a lorry at speed which ended up bouncing through that very same hole and into the radiator of my old 850; I've been meaning to something like that for my V70 - thanks oragex for jogging my memory

Could it the style won over functionality? Or perhaps they were worried in the Sweden winters a grid will accumulate with snow and block the air passage

Failed French MOT this morning......but Sylvain there gave me a 'pass' chit, cos he knows I'll get it sorted.

Would you believe en-route to the test a brake light failed, lol.

But the main thing was drivers side track-rod is toast.

Advisory on one of the auto boxes mountings that is nearly worn out

Good thought but given the average winter temperature in Sweden is probably not a problem with the air flow over the engine compartment with the under-shield removed by the jammed snow!!!
There again Coldnada's probably a "tad" more extreme in terms of prolonged cold//frosts etc!

Winter in Canada has got 'milder' in the past years since we hear of some many climate changes in Europe. Milder doesn't meant warmer, however

On another note, I did a video about the climate module, mine didn't blow enough air, I'm interested to hear opinions/experiences on this

Ticked another one off the bucket list....

Drove a 1972 Citroen SM (V6 Maserati motor). What a classy girl she was!

Overhauled a spare D5 starter motor. Also took one of the pre-facelift P2 S60/V70 headlight wiper motors apart, and it seems the cause of failure was a seized gear/cog due to insufficient lubricant.
