I have 2 questions for anyone out there. First where might i get bosch plugs for a 1999 S70 GLT. I tried schucks and GI Joes but they only sell autolite.
I would even go with NGK over autolite. Next my top engine mount broke and i replaced it a month ago but i was wondering how lone lower one might last? Seems hard to see. Do i have to take out the liner in the wheel well to see it?

Well i do have one more question...is there anything else that an aging car might need? I hear things like the air pump going out,etc.

Locally you should be able to get Bosch or NGK plugs from any NAPA and most real auto parts stores. Chains like Shucks and Autozone are not real auto parts stores.

You can also order them from places like eeuroparts.com or fcpgroton.com.

The volvo GLT's (low pressure turbos) love the cheap Bosch Super(copper) plugs.
PepBoys carry them for 99cents each.

Thanks to all who posted about the spark plugs. I found a close place, pep boys, not many in WA state. Well they were $1.09, cheap. I will try those.
So far i havent had to many problems so i am trying to keep ahead with good maintenance schedules.

Any ideas on when the lower engine mount will go?

My forward engine mount was replaced at 128K miles. The upper mount at 70K. It all depends on ambient temperatures and how hard you drive. The GLT should last longer because there is less torque than a high pressure turbo.

Check your owner's manual. Champion plugs work well too. For your car, best to avoid any of the platinum plugs...stick with copper's.
