Okay, a new/continued thread for my wagon.....

I got the rear side cargo glasses and the door trim piece from member lkm46 today! It's supposed to be in the 70's and sunny the rest of the week here so it's perfect timing to get them installed right away.

PS ~ If you need any used 850/early V70 wagon parts, contact member lkm46 for a great deal and excellent service, while he's still got a lot left. I sure appreciate his help. Thanks again Levi!

Both new [well, good used] side cargo glasses were cleaned up of old seal leftovers and were installed today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif) I like this easy work! I'll need to spend a few hours removing duct tape residue from the original owners plastic tape up job. I think he used a super size roll of duct tape!


I'm awaiting the PCV kit to arrive from FCP to install that next week.

Thanks! Yeah, not bad for a few hundred bucks huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

They were calling for some snow down here last night/this morning but it got outta here before the cold air. It did snow inland in the Carolina's. It's C-O-L-D, only 37 degrees today and only 41 degrees for tomorrow [and in the 20's both nights] but 70's & SUNNY again by the end of the week, hopefully to stay.

I'd be ok if I never saw snow or temps below 70 degrees ever again so you can have it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I got the PCV kit from FCP on Tuesday and a nasty bout of the flu the same day so I haven't done anything yet.

It's supposed be in the mid 70's & sunny here all weekend and I'm feeling a bit better so..............

Thanks!

I got the PCV system and related components apart today ~ what a friggen mess!! A fairly straightforward, easily DIY job as far as the difficulty level but the entire system has been neglected it seems. I'm cleaning everything and plan on replacing some vacuum lines while its apart so I'll put reassembly on hold until later in the week.

Since you got no answer yet:

- Next time, try putting your queries in a NEW thread to not mess with other people's issues. You may get a better response that way.
- On your issue, pull open the fuel-flap and read whats behind the flap. If it says Premium ONLY, then sorry to you. If not, say thanks to God, and get a fill-up.

P.S. What do you think it is worth, I am considering selling it so get my neighbors S60R. It is one owner with all recipts from day one at a Volvo dealer in cronological order hole punched in a file. Have factory window sticker manuals, keys and original sales brochure. The timing belt was done at Volvo at 80k and the evaporator was done at volvo at 85k to the tune of $2500. It has 114k and recipts from Volvo for oil changes every 5k since new. Same dealer has serviced it since new as well.

Well I'll be a some-beach! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Yep, that was me.

I thought you had a wagon too. VERY nice car you've got there! Yeah, it's real hard to capture what the Platinum color looks like on camera.

I've got a lead on a set of 5 spoke R wheels [crossing my fingers]. I like your anthracite wheels ~ very sharp.

I can't help you there. This site or eBay are your best bet for the top $ it deserves. I'm a Mercedes enthusiast more so than Volvo and mostly the older/vintage stuff. A super nice T5 you've got with the history to sweeten the deal & bring top $.

I LOVE the Volan wheels.
Did that also came stock with the T5 at factory or did you purchase secondarily?
I think the second, right?

Anyway...
