Replaced ignition switch -- ARRRRGGGGGHH!!!!!!

Mar 03, 2006 8 Replies

Looks like I played another game of "Not Fun" with the 740 tonight.



The good -- I found a switch on eBay that also came with a window switch. I paid $10 for the pair.



The bad -- It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to get a screwdriver in there to remove those two little screws.



The ugly -- the blood from either shards of glass left over from the windshield I removed the other day, or me cutting myself on the dozens of sharp edges under there.



Well, the switch was good so I guess its sorted.



ARRRRGGGGHHH!



Ah good old quality time with the car :)

I think we're spending a little too much time together these days. We're smothering each other. It isn't healthy. I think we need a little space.

(Isn't that how Volvo relationships go?)

"Volvo" and "vulva:" coincidence?

I feel your pain. It is like doing extreme yoga but you get bloody knuckles to boot.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place

I am a pretty patient guy, but as I was experimenting working on my back, my sides, in the seat, and in every possible position I kept remembering that someone wrote that this job was a "piece of cake".

I literally started cursing out loud that I hated the SOB that lied!!!!!!

I still have a blood spot on the carpet. I'll take a picture, then clean it up before it becomes confused with evidence from a crime scene. LOL

Yes, the thought had occurred. Both are expensive and pleasureable.

Try owning a Fiat or Alfa Romeo... I own both as well as my trusty 760.

The 760 is the most reliable of the bunch
