Volvo S40 2001 90K miles

2001 VOLVO S40

I just bought a used S40 for $6K w/ 90K miles.

1.) Antenna broke off. Is it easy for a novice to replace?

2.) Check engine light is on. Code says bank 1 oxygen sensor is bad. Should I buy the whole sensor for $150 or just the sensor for $40. Should I also replace the bank 2?

3.) I just replaced the fuel pressure regulator because the car was fluttering before it would start. Once it started, it was fine.

4.) Everytime I turn on the car, the clock/mileage resets to 12:00 pm. Is this a mechanical issue?

5.) I replaced the bulb on the interior map light but it still will not come on?

6.) When I open the hood there is a blank spot near the rear, in front of this thing that looks like an aluminum square pan. Am I missing something?

Many thanks!

Depends on where it broke off.

Whole senesor or sensor? Buy the whole sensor if you cant solder good and dont have the time.

3.) I just replaced the fuel pressure regulator because the car was fluttering before it would start. Once it started, it was fine.

You mean a hard start problem?

4.) Everytime I turn on the car, the clock/mileage resets to 12:00 pm. Is this a mechanical issue?

5.) I replaced the bulb on the interior map light but it still will not come on?

6.) When I open the hood there is a blank spot near the rear, in front of this thing that looks like an aluminum square pan. Am I missing something?
