What I did today thread...

I'm not a fan of people using aftermarket fog lights.
Many use them without actual fog and they mirror from the wet pavement to the oncoming traffic.
That's about the only thing in the world I hate.

Installed an active carbon cabin filter in my car which does not have air quality sensor. Had to remove a plastig "stopper" to install it as my car should use the thinner filter. Anyone know if this can cause problems? Fitted perfectly ...

Having bought my first Volvo on Friday. I spent today fitting straight thru exhaust, painting some engine bay parts, sorting the door and bumper mouldings, checking all bushes and a good Hoover. Now time for a little drive. Loving Volvo life so far,

Finally fitted the replacement fuel flap locking motor and fitted a new pair of headlight wiper arms and blades.
Also today, I received a set of Solarplexius window tinting panels. Easy to instal and remove, if required.
Windows in the cargo area and rear passenger doors are now all blacked out.

V70 back into the garage, as the power steering system and brake system are being flushed tomorrow, plus Goodrige braided flexible brake lines will be fitted all round.
