1987 Volvo 340 GLE review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starter motor died (worn brushes and commutator). Not a problem since a scrap yard replaced one for £15 (GBP).
Occasionally it will not start for four or five attempts (Unsure cause)
Alternator was replaced at about 70000 miles by the previous owner.
General comments?
Has a turning circle not unlike a London taxi. Once you have the arms to turn without taking a break half way. The steering is heavy!
