It's false economy to continue packing the joint with grease. The longer the torn boot is left, the more expensive the damage. Even if you pack the joint with grease, road debris will be picked up during journeys and will stick to the grease. stone chips, glass, grit, dirt and more. The constant motion of the grease around the joint will allow this debris to make its way to the joint splines and have an abrasive effect. When you come to changing the boot, you will find that you have to pay far more to replace the loose fitting joint as well. You could shop around to get a low cost alternative to your manufacturers' own brand (as long as you are not within vehicle warranty) and have a local mechanic fit them for much less than a dealership mechanic. Always get both boots replaced at the same time. If it takes the mechanic 30 minutes to replace one boot and he charges by the hour, you can get two boots done for 1 hour's labor rather than take it back a second time and pay for an extra hour's labor.

Why boot files are not kept on the RAM chip but on ROM chip?

RAM is volatile - meaning that whenever power is taken away from it it is wiped. ROM is non volatile - meaning that the data is always kept there whether there is power is there or not. BOOT files which is basic machine code and is needed to boot up the computer to give the first BIOS (basic input output system) is kept on ROM because it is always kept there. If it was kept on RAM then it would be wiped everytime you turn the power off which would mean it would work.

Where is the CD CHANGER located on 1991volvo?

On mine it was located in the boot. If you were to open the tailgate and look into the boot there was a panel on the left side of the boot floor that lifted up, much like lifting the bit where the spare wheel is kept but its the section that doesn't lift up when you lift the spare wheel bit up. That nearly makes sense I think. On mine it was located in the boot.
