What I did today
But if you look close, you can see the Volvo in the garage.
When I got over to pick up the truck I had to add 2qts of oil, I used clearanced motor oil, $1.80 a qt.
Added 1/2 qt of power steering fluid (ATF on DI's) and half a gallon of water, yes I used plain water.
It had a quart tank of year old stale gas in it.
The truck fired right up, the a/c works, the fan clutch is locked up, the t-stat is stuck wide open, the cruise wont turn on and the stereo needs the code.
No check engine light, no service engine light.
Typical AntiLock light and SRS light, horn does not work so its probably a bad clock spring thingy.
The truck needs shocks, it bounces alittle over bumps, or rather floats like a Cadillac.
I am going to fix it up alittle and sell it now that the bumper is off of it.
It has the "A" typical Rover driveline clunks, the engine was rebuilt 60k ago.
Mechanically it is a very solid truck, cosmetically it needs some TLC.

Hey Spike, Don't bother cleaning it, I'll come get it as is.
As far as plugging the hose, squirt it full of waterproof silicone bathroom caulking inside and let it cure.
