Hmmmm. A few tiny additions: (I just got a free rotate and balance today! yeay!)

Flickering light issue has gone away (perhaps temporarily) after my dad tapped... ok, more than tapped on the door lock assembly part. It hasn't been flickering lately (I've probably just jinxed myself.) Anyways, I was told to take a look to see if there were any shorts from a member here. I will do that, but after my trip to Florida - if anything, I might go to a junk yard and asee how much they charge for a used door lock assembly.

As for the plug wires, I found out that they are $100 from the dealership. Yowza but, the parts guy said if there is nothing wrong with what I have in right now, not to worry about changing them. So, I will wait.

So my updated List 3 of to do's (in order of importance) is:

1. Driver side passenger door lock - won't pop up when I use the remote - you have to manually pull it to unlock the door. I like to put my book bag in the seat behind me and I can't do this yet. Arg. I'm pretty sure it's the Red Evil Plastic Lever (REPL) that Bay 13 (volvospeed.com) so lovingly described. It's fixable as long as I take my time (patience is key)! It'll save me $90. ARg. I couldn't finish working on it last night. My family curse of forgetfulness - I forgot to screw the tiny screw back into the assembly. So I can't open the door at all. (I'll need to slim jim the golden part of the assembly to unlock the door and take the assembly out to fix it. Though I have been thinking about going to a junk yard. dry.gif It's just a lot of work to try to file that pin and get it out.)

2. Brake Service - My dad is AWESOME at this. I can't wait to have his trademark brake service. Makes them nice and responsive (one touch to stop!) and not kinda muggy, like they are now. They're not awful, but I would like him do get to this.

3. Front passenger red door light. Must've slammed onto the seat belt buckle and chipped. Just another small, cosmetic thing. Asked the dealership - $26.00! I kinda expected this, but I held off, I might check a junk yard or fcp groton or something. Hmmm. At leas I have a ball-park figure. I can't believe how fast everything is coming along lately. I'm kinda worried that something big will break, because this seems too good to be true that I most of my to do list down to small cosmetic things.

4. Drink holder between fron seats. One of the rings are missing. Found some replacements on ebay, for about $45. Though I have thought about trying to fix the one I have. Could go the junk yard route again

5. Dent by the trunk on the top side panel. Not too bad, but a pet peeve of mine. My boyfriend's brother knows how to paint... but I might take it to get it done at a paint place. You know what they say about family and business. I rather be mad at someone I don't know.

6. I'd like to add a cargo net to my trunk. It'd be cool! Don't know how I will anchor it in, though.
