1978 Volvo 242 DL review from North America

Odometer hasn't worked for many years, and is too expensive to fix, so I don't know how many miles I've put on it.

Interior dash lights called it quits, soon to be fixed.

Hard warm starting; probably the check valve.

Needed new spark plugs, wires, and O2 sensor.

New bottom radiator hose (it was old).

Power steering leaks, it's probably a hose.

Rear main oil seal leaks ever so slightly, but not bad enough to have it replaced.

Despite minor problems, this car is very reliable, and has never refused to start up.

This car is a tank, it may not go fast, but it will go were you need it to in safety.

I have never found a better car heater, this one will cook you if you leave it on too long.

This is/was the car I learned how to drive a stick on, and it has handled my abuse very well, and I'm suprised the cluch is still functioning.
