As per title, I am slowly getting a newly acquired "tired" 1997 V70 ready for duties. Upon cleaning out the boot and behind trim panels pitted from years of garden runs I noticed it has no wire pull where my many previous 850s and V70s have had one! There is no wire and no guide clip. Did Volvo do without for a couple of years or has someone yanked it off you think? As I have experienced fuel door failure many times before (usually in a petrol station on empty) is it possible to retrofit a cable? Does anyone have any close up shots of a fuel door lock motor? Feeling around I can't even find any "finger oulls" like RObert DIY shows on his video for a failure on an S70. Id like to get the boot panels back together soon, whilst not hard its a bit of a faff and not something I want to do in desperation. Any quick advice greatly appreciated.
