My 2000 V70 (with AWD) has a driver's side window that won't come back up.

I need two bypass hoses for my B280F (hoses between each head and the water
pump/thermostat).
None of the local vendors have these, (nor can they get them).  I'm in
Canada, and I'm hoping I can find an online retailer for these hoses (VLV

My 1987 740 is gold/beige. The front bumper is black and beneath this
is the front scoop which is also gold/beige. It is scuffed and
scratched and rubbed. Eventually when I re-paint the car, I'll paint
the scoop also.

I haven't wired them up yet, waiting on Dan Stern's relay kit. But,
here are the befores and afters:

I have 99 V70 with manual transmission with 128k miles on it. When I

Would somebody out there who's had experience changing the starter on
a 1995 960 volvo please help me out.  I've changed a lot of starters
on other cars where it's a 30 min or less job, but this car seems to
