1989 Volvo 740 SE Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Big nipper, it can move"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Boot lock/opening mechanism.
Main fuel pump.
Steering rack.
Horn.
Propshaft bearing.
Brake pads.
Brake fluid leak.
General comments?
A good car for a large family; we have rear facing seats in the boot, the children have now outgrown them however.
It is a good car to drive, but it has now got to the stage where it is costing a lot to service - even if one avoids rip-off dealerships like Lloyd's.
The interior still looks good despite receiving endless abuse from small children with juice, crisps, beer etc.
It handles well, never under/over steers (apart from when my wife drives).
