1989 Volvo 240 GLT (Auto) review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel/air mix has gone out of adjustment leading to rough idle - fixed by dealer on third attempt; electric window switch contacts beginning to wear; cassette player auto reverse mechanism failed.
General comments?
A car with character, reliability, and overall sensible design. Boots when overtaking, sometimes sluggish off the lights. Good overall spec (leather, sunroof, alloys, electrics) - well worth maintaining.
