Today, I took some bird crap off the bonnet of my S40... Thrilling... Only cleaned it yesterday! ><
Apart from that, I tweeked the throttle a little and considered cleaning the Idle control, but realised I wouldnt be able to get a new gasket for it until monday... So it's on hold until then.

Replace the hinges on the hood of the 960. I flipped it open about 2 years ago driving down a street. Seems like only the right one was bent, open & closes great now.

Default Installed Tail Lights

Got lucky and found a 2000 V70 wagon at Pull-a-Part that still had some pristine tail lights -- they looked new. Got the set of 4 for $36. Replaced the old ashy looking tail lights on my 95 850 wagon today. Wow, what a difference. The backend looks almost new with the replaced lights.

The old lady is happy, so I'm happy.

Replaced my coolant expansion tank. Top it of with new coolant, for the old one was green/brown. It looked all nice and pretty in neon green seeing it through new clear tank. Then I started the car and was disappointed to see it turn to a disgusting green/brown.
Guess I'm going to change the coolant later this summer.

Changed the oil in my 850.

Serviced the A/C in my 850.

Dyed the trim on the S70. The front mud flaps would not accept dye because of the coating on it so I had to sand the flaps and then apply the Forever Black.

Tinkered with the cold air pump on the 960. That think has a filter cartridge on the back of it that no one seems to know about, not even the stealer. I messed around a tore one of the rubber bushings on it. Not sure what I'm going to do about that. Cleared the code on the cel (P0410).

Had to service the A/C in my 850 again today. That's 12 oz per month. Please apologize to your grand children for me. I believe they say this stuff is puching holes in the OZONE.
