Installed an oil catch can and fixed my full throttle sputter! It was thankfully just spark plug gap. All set to .028" and better no sputter!! It feels good at 14psi full throttle!

Disconnected the moonroof switch. The kids don't close it properly and I don't need the window stuck open in the winter.

Fixed my cargo cover and my rearview mirror on my V70. Sadly looked at my 850 in the driveway that just got in an accident...

Replaced the heater core. Wanted to do it before the weather got very cold. It now blows heat instead of steam/fog.

I had a VIN check on the 740 turbodiesel that I was about to see in person, ... in order to get some history of the car ... but it never showed up. I need some advice on that.

My advise, run away fast.

If the VIN doesn't pop up at all either it's wrong or it's a repro.

Yes, they look pretty good. The 850 R's and 960's come standard with these stainless steel door sills.
