Hello all, about two weeks ago I posted some comments and question about
the need to rebuild a transmission on my '96 850. My pre-estimates were
anything from $1,750 from a small tranny shop, to $ 4,000 from a Volvo
dealer. Other tranny shops were asking about $ 2,600 or $ 3,000.

I have a '94 850 that has the model SC-810 radio installed.
I want to connect my Sat Receiver's audio to it.
I figure that the easiest way would be through the DIN plug for the CD
player.

I have what I believe to be a common problem with my 1991 240 SE Estate -
water is leaking all over my fuse box. Does anybody have any ideas where it
gets in, and how I best stop it happening?
The car has been plagued with it all its life (I've had it since '97 anyway)

The passenger seat onto the drivers side on a 240? My drivers seat is
totally knackered and seeing as a passenger seat is optional I could swap
them round and leave the passenger seat out for the MOT.
Any ideas?

I have a 94 Volvo 850 and the previous owner had the radio replaced.  We
have several codes and aren't sure which one is the correct one for the
current radio.
Is there any way to determine the radio code while it is still connected?

I'm trying to improve the shape of this 87 740 Turbo I purchased a few
weeks ago. It stalls when idling after a cold start if it's really cold.

My parts store sells a Bosch fuel injector seal kit for my '86 240 which
includes 4-5 pieces, 3 seals, a small gray round plastic thing which looks like
a spacer, and a plastic cap with a pin hole in it which I believe covers the
end of the injector. Do I need all of these parts, ...

I just aquired a 98 S70 and am thinking about getting a better radio instead
of the factory/ cassett radio...  I'd like to put in a good Radio with CD
player...
My question is:

The manual tranny on my  '89 245 just died with little warning, eg
from a slight noise to undrivable within about two weeks. The car has
169xxx miles on it.

I'm going to be buying a new car in November. Have narrowed the field
to the Allroad Audi 2.7 and the XC70.  We owned a 98 XC with good
luck. What are some opinions for this comparison.
Thanks,

this is a reply to the premium audio question:
the 12-speaker premium audio is worth every penny.  it is the best stock, and better then some customized setuo i have ever heard.  great highs and mids, and good bass.  what lacks is the low frequesncy bass below 100hz.  the setup ...

I have noticed in looking at other 240s around town that many (if not
most) of them have black plastic trim approximately 4" (10cm) wide
running along the bottom of the doors where they meet the rocker
panels. Since my 240 (1983 Turbo) doesn't have this feature and since
