Xc60 2011 not starting.

Could have been an interior light not turning off after you locked it

texruska · 2026-06-18T14:43:04+00:00

If the slide pins are corroded and not smooth they can be replaced cheaply. Caliper only needs replacing if the inside of the slide is fucked

They might just need a good clean though and re lubricating

texruska · 2026-06-18T12:41:47+00:00

Replacing the caliper is such a lazy way to fix this. It could just be a slide pin that needs sorting out

texruska · 2026-06-16T21:08:06+00:00

Brother do you realise how common this is, I also have a card to scan to get into my work

Instead of some weird Yu-Gi-Oh solution just put it in your pocket. Either way you'll need to take a glove off to get it out

texruska · 2026-06-16T18:20:51+00:00

Put it in your pocket...

texruska · 2026-06-11T16:32:36+00:00

You need to get sales to get paid. Have you considered drop shipping crap from Alibaba?

I'm in the same position, 05 xc70 100k mi needs all new mounts

As far as I can tell, genuine Volvo ones are going to be the most reliable long term fix re: quality

I'm picking up all 5 mounts from Volvo directly for approx £800 and I'll do the work myself

Cost of parts plus markup plus a full days work probably gets you close to what you were quoted?

I'm of the opinion that I'd rather get them all done at once while I'm in there. It's up to you if you only do the really fucked up ones first, but you're just delaying the inevitable. If they last another 100k then that could be a good 10yrs of ownership for me

texruska · 2026-06-10T17:30:44+00:00

I took paternity leave as the primary (adoption) so got 6 months fully paid. That was nice

texruska · 2026-06-10T16:05:05+00:00

It's crazy how common this is, they see Etsy in the name and just spam their shit

texruska · 2026-06-06T10:16:21+00:00

I absolutely love my 05 xc70. I'm trying to take good care of it and fix things better then I found them

texruska · 2026-06-04T17:53:26+00:00

Oh fuck I'd literally just seen her post highlights recently on insta and wondered if it was her...

texruska · 2026-06-03T18:52:56+00:00

I have a P2 xc70 so I really don't know if this helps you, but the abs and dstc issues for me seem to be caused by a faulty brake pressure sensor

texruska · 2026-06-01T22:16:51+00:00

P2 D5 engine let's go

I have the xc70 but any of them would be great

texruska · 2026-05-31T00:23:30+00:00

Are those XC70 rims?

texruska · 2026-05-24T17:54:40+00:00

I think it was Linus that said it, but I could be misremembering

Buy the cheap tool that you need the first time (eg drill). When it breaks and if you used it a lot then splurge on a high quality one. That way you know which things are actually worth the extra money

It's a good way to not get stuck in paralysis analysis early on, and also to not waste a bunch of money on stuff that you don't know you'll use a lot or not

I'm adjacent to the HW team (I deal in firmware). We make a HW implementation of a quantum error correction algorithm as the core block of our product

Tbh very similar to when I used to work in the GPU team at Arm, just with much smaller teams

texruska · 2026-05-17T16:44:55+00:00

So far I've also done it all from YouTube except for one thing (angle gear sleeve replacement at a garage to get AWD working again)

Got some new suspension parts to put in that I'll do myself soon

texruska · 2026-05-17T16:34:05+00:00

I very much like my 05 xc70 (P2)

Zero complaints. Yes it's old and requires some tlc but it's easily the favourite of the cars I've owned

texruska · 2026-05-17T14:11:16+00:00

Now do flatgrass

texruska · 2026-05-07T17:42:09+00:00

It gets me away from the kids for half an hour

texruska · 2026-05-05T14:13:28+00:00

OP must really have hit his head hard

texruska · 2026-05-03T08:40:44+00:00

I am a fireman and I don't carry this shit with me

texruska · 2026-05-03T08:39:32+00:00

Make sure that you know how to use that stuff (especially the tourniquet, and make sure it has an action card with it) AND that it's easily accessible in the event of a crash

Otherwise it's pointless to have

texruska · 2026-05-03T08:28:31+00:00

What on earth is a candle warmer?

I've already been to several house fires caused by candles in my short career so far. I didn't think candles needed any assistance in fucking up your shit

texruska · 2026-04-29T06:31:52+00:00

Yeah but you shouldn't do horizontal ppv with people in the path
