Default More Crap added to the collection

Yep when your cars riding this low on the suspension, you've either got blown Nivo's or you've added more crap to your Volvo Collection. Or its a combination of the two.



So this is the result of one knackered Nivo on that side plus an entire dealers set of Volvo Workshop books. Along with a set of Factory Fiat Workshop manuals.



Then because you still can't be arsed to fit the new nivo's that are sitting in the garage you get the same problem again as the next load fetches you home the following.

















I'll do a full inventory of the tools when i have time, but any Volvo techs here that can tell me what are the real handy ones to look out for that you use all the time????

I think I read about this...

"Volvo dealer found bludgeoned in alley. An employee of the dealership reported no money or records missing, 'just some old crap taken.'"
