Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I may visit less often, but I'll still be around. Wow, that's pretty low mileage. I'm surprised it doesn't have TRACS. My 94' does, even though I never use it as it is only functional at LOW speeds, and only affects the ABS system, and not the throttle.

When you say the seatbelt is broken, in what way? The back gate trim is an easy fix. Give yourself an hour or two, and Bay 13 will set you right. The T-stat is another easy fix. I believe Bay 13 have pics and instructions. And even without the instructions, it's pretty straight forward, and easily accessible. Aren't the sway bars interchangeable between the V70 and the 855? If you wanted to, I put the stock ones back on the V70 and keep them for yourself.

Good luck on all the work.
