So I've not had the most successful weekend of Volvoing...
Regarding the oil in coolant mystery, I bypassed the engine oil cooler (easy to type but a pig of a job with rusted jubilee clips and barely any access), ran the engine and no sign of oil leaking from the cooler. So my oil must be coming from somewhere else. ATF cooler leak?
I've also cleaned the crud out of the expansion tank just in case it was emulsifying.
Regarding the alternator charging (or not charging) I tried the revving method, didn't work unfortunately, nor did giving the alternator a good earth.
One observation, of the two belts for the alternator, one is seemingly more slack. Would this affect anything at all?
Final question, as I've focused on some things I can easily do! I'm missing most of the protective caps for the headlamp wipers stops, I have to assume these are NLA....any ideas?
Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated...
