1988 Volvo 340 GLE review from UK and Ireland
"I love this car; when it breaks down I break down"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The distributor cap is prone to corrosion and needs replacing frequently.
Generally at the age it is, parts are simply wearing out.
And I can't get spare parts.
General comments?
One time. It was parked up and got hit by an artic lorry. It got dragged but it stopped the lorry.
