I saw this again, at dinnertime. but (again) sadly no chance to photograph itI saw an odd XC90, when I was driving into Wakefield at tea-time
(on Aberford Road/A642, near Pinderfields General Hospital)
A 'first generation' silhouette
It had a roof-rack, with (maybe) 6 white LED' marker-lights on it
American style (.... what I think of, as 80's Pick-Up fashion) side-steps (full-length) with orange marker-lights
Then, as I looked in the mirrors, as it passed, another 6 (or so) red LED markers on the back of the roof-rack
Sorry, @Drago, no photographs, as I was moving, & it was before I picked my daughter up (or I'd have asked her to take a picture)

Volvo actually do the correct tool, but no way I'm paying £150+ to replace a pair of bushings once every 180k miles! My little bodge worked OK on the nearside, just hope it does on the other....

True, although I never said they were
Yeah not even sure why I bought it, but seem to remember it was very cheap

Well that was a pleasing few hours. Nearside all rebuilt, minor hiccup as I forgot to fit the spring before dropping the bolts in for the trailing arm, so took it all apart again! New rear brake hoses fitted, and I even had time to strip down the offside suspension and cut out the old trailing arm bush. My bodge worked on the offside bushing too, so now just to rebuild that side, then it's a waiting game for the propshaft centre bearing.

Jumped in the wife's Rav4 this morning around -3, it's the keyless version, pressed the button, it went through the heater cycle, it spun up, fired but didn't run, pressed the button again to stop it trying, pressed again, heater cycle, fired & ran this time. Mentioned it to the wife when she got in for her to reply, "oh yeah it's been doing that all week", ARRRRGH. Presume at least one heater plug has gone AWOL after 15 years, irony is I'm not doing changing them at this time of year, which is when they are needed.

Bloody freezing today with higher winds. I was fitting an RCD socket in a shed, my hands were like ice cubes when I'd done

TBF around here hasn't been too bad, I was outside from around 11 to 2 today working on the kit car, had to just after 2 as it started to rain, can work in the cold, but not the wet.

With all the work done on the 1993 Volvo 240, today was MOT day. Last minute appointment available this afternoon, and very pleasing to pass with no advisories, not bad for a 30 year old brick.

Great news @cosmicbike!
Wipers replaced(halfords own…crap but needed, next time I’ll order Bosch before they’re past their best), alloy wheel cleaner and leather conditioner bought for a weekend tidy up.
Insurance is due in a few days, renewal is only £5 more. The usual websites will be searched.

I was looking at those last night. As they are higher and I presume more comfy than a regular V70. How do you find the fuel economy?
