Inventory.

Here's a question for the general volvo 240/940 community. What items are good things to have on hand at all times for a volvo 240 or 940? I'm a few bucks short of fcp's discount + free shipping and wondering if there's anything I should buy to get me over that limit. In the past I've bought a few things to get me the free shipping including:
Oil filter (case)
Oil plug washers (copper)
fuel filter
spark plugs
Anything else that I should just have on hand? Items that are when, not if it breaks?
Also, I'm considering a tune up of the 88 245 so if you can think of anything I'm missing, I could get that in order to get the shipping/discount.
Here's what I've got so far:
spark plugs
distributor cap and rotor
O2 sensor
How often do the wires need replaced? And does it matter if I get Bosch instead of Bougicord?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I ended up getting the bourgicord wires since I have no idea how old my wires are. Should help me sleep at night. Feel free if anyone thinks of anything else. I'll definitely be adding some of this stuff to my next cart.

I would keep a spare engine, trranny, a door, and a drive shaft in your glove compartment. ![Big Grin](https://volvoforums.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Seriously though, what everyone else said is good, get that stuff.
To your question, I would go with the Bougicords, nice OEM fit, high quality. They can last a long time too. They recommend every 40,000 or so, but you can milk that easily if you don't drive in harsh conditions, and keep the boots and contacts clean.
