Follow up to my saga of the replaced in-tank sending unit and no
start.

Following up to my posts about my 1987 740 with the replaced sending
unit and a no start:

With fuel line to main pump off, no fuel comes out of line while

Guess I have to move to Audi or BMW.
The new V70 with the 3.2 I6, won't have a manual transmission
available.
Sad - love rowing the gears in the T5 .

We just had the 30K service on our '05 XC90, but the dealer apparently
failed to disengage the service light which has just now kicked in.
The dealer is 60 miles away, so if anyone can tell me how to disengage the
