Responding to a 6 year old post and his advice is to tell the original poster to reach out to a forums, while on a forum.

 

 

The fact there are threads like this that are still open from 2018, and others, but yet the one in OT got closed. lol

and we're back ...

From outer space? 

Honestly I would start by finding your sensor which may even been on the latches themselves, and check the wiring. 
Could also just be time to replace the latches, which are fairly easy to do and not expensive either so that helps.  

Keep us posted, im excited to see where this goes. 

Been pulling my car in and out of the garage a lot lately. 

It has not gone further than 20 feet, but like, that's exciting.

It's unfortunate to here about the missing rear bumper trim, especially since volvo has discountinued it. Have you considerered reaching out to online volvo communities or forums? Sometimes fellow volvo owners may have spare parts or know of where to find them. Additonally, you might want to explore salvage yards or online marketplaces for used parts.

This is from 2018.. 

Good luck, looks like a fun project for someone and a great deal. 

If you were closer I might have considered it myself.

I can still modify my ev fine

amazon has stickers and add on vents and they are cheap too

Whatcha driving? 

I'm in the market for one in the next few months, nixed polestar after I struggled to charge the loaner. 

I find picking the right fart tone on a tesla to be one of the most challenging part of owning an EV. 

Though the lack of lvl 2 chargers in the central Florida area also make it nearly impossible to own one myself. 
 

What a fucking shit show this race is. 

Corrupt Nicky dropped out. 
 

Looks like it will be big bad orange guy vs worthless racist escaped alzheimer patient. 

And you have Hillary gaining ground and popularity again, as if everyone just forgot how absolutely horrible she is O.o 

We doing anyone but biden this time around? 

You can post in the Florida Volvo Community fb group if you want to, with what all is there and if anyone is looking for something. 

We have quite a few of the VCOA group in the FLVC group who would be your target audience mostly.

well how long ago did you get the clutches?

where did your guy source them from?

 

far as i know, the 850R clutches haven't been available for over a year now..

I actually got them through the dealer. 
You may just have to call your dealership to check from time to time, its like pre-painted P80-70 R bumpers, they still come in from Sweden, just only like 20-30 a year depending on sales. 

Well shit, maybe I got lucky. 

My local was able to get me 2 without issues.  

It's sitting next to the still in box spare black R bumper I bought last year, and the new roof trims, in my garage. 

I've started to just slowly buy replacement parts for the S70 since they've basically dried up in junkyards now.

WHERE you getting 850R clutch?!

Dealership. 

Thought you were trying to find a cheap one, not brand new in box. 

Call Tasca if you're ok with paying retail. 

Also you could look on Ebay/Amazon/FCP if you call/New they are still very much available.

up until a bit over a year ago, i'd had the 850R clutch, i still had the fiberglass lip from the group buy here in 2014, i had a T-5R steering wheel.. i was basically done with P80 and didn't realize how rare this all became.

alls i have left for rare part is an OE strut bar.. even BBS propus C are becoming rare and expensive!

The 850R clutch you can still get new luckily, just bought 2 ironically last week. 
1 for me and 1 for a friend. 

:3 I get hounded for my lip from time to time, but considering they are NLA, ill keep it. 

Most "rare" items here, you can get from the JPN market fairly readily which is nice.

Unfortunately you're after something that most people have probably either lost in their pile of parts, or scrapped with their car at some point.  
I would 100% definitely try the facebook groups. 

This is for the shifter base itself, right? 

Not the cables. 

Yeah, P80 parts in general are now scarce, once this forum died out, it basically became a skeleton market. 

Luckily you can replace just the glass, 3x T25's on each side of the inside rails I believe, then just lift it up and back (onto a towel) and drop in the new one. 
Try local auto salvage shops, or local junk yards.  

You may have to purchase it as a complete assembly, though I know when I worked at LKQ, when I searched our system for sunroof assemblies, there were more than a few just glass results. 

Car-Part.com would be a good resource too. 

There's still a good bit of lurkers around. 

Try the facebook group, or even swedespeed though if you're looking to get one quick.

Own this and the older version of this:

Battery Tender Plus

Curious how the Noco works out, first year I'm using it - the BT has kept numerous batteries afloat and brought some back from the dead until I could source new ones, great unit.

I originally bought the 1.25amp you linked, but 1.25amp would have taken longer than I would have liked since I needed it recharged quicker to be able to move the car again. 

Now that we're all moved out, closing is on the 14th, so it will sit in a comfy garage 360 days of the year im sure.   

The Noco charged it back up within a few hours fully.  
I can report back in a few months once the car has been sitting again for awhile, its currently parked at a friends shop while we await closing.

great product

i have the noco genius10 and the noco boost plus gb40 as a lithium jump starter to travel with etc 

Thought about the 10 but it seemed like over kill for my needs. 

How do you like the gb40? 

Bought a battery tender for the s70. 
In the process of moving/packing up the garage so the constant pulling it out and in finally drained the battery enough over the weekend that it almost didnt start. 

What tender do you guys use?

Yea iirc, you run 8awg solid from pin 3 directly into your peehole 

Sounds spicy

Wasn't there a post where Corey showed the s70 cluster pinout and which pin to apply power to, to check?

Cannot seem to find it.
