made the trip to Maine tuesday night - car seems to shimmy and shake over 65 - am definitely due to rotate tires, and not sure what else might be going on. also noticed that when i pull any power (like pushing the window button) all lights, headlights, dash interior, all of them dim. wondering if the driving lights i have up front had the wire scraped when dragging and am routing juice into the body of the car. will need to just remove them as they haven't worked in a while.
i cleaning the turbo out pipe today before turkey dinner and what i could reach on the turbo itself. one of the tailgate's license plate lights would always flicker out and so i bent the contacts in there and have 2 lights now shining down. also reset the service light but didn't really get into much more than that.
I did call the portland volvo here (in scarboro) to see about a timing belt and pcv system. 700 big ones for pcv system. am just wondering if i don't say a prayer and try it myself at this point. have been checking sears but am not moved by the prices for black friday on tires so am thinking this weekend may be the weekend that i put in an order on discount tire direct and get the snow shoes. have to make my final list of xmas/bday parts and distribute.
hope to putter a bit more tomorrow on the car and will post some new pics.
