1980 Volvo 242 DL review from Norway
"Volvo Power"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turnsignal light switch needs to be replaced.
Reflector is a bit worn out.
General comments?
The car has a new carburetor and air-filter box as used in the 2.3 litre engine (1986).
The car handles well and uses little gas.
There is room for improvement in the engine department, which will be done.
Interior is 99% in original shape! Though, I have swapped to leather rear seats. I will maybe use C70 or 780 front leather seats.
