"A well built car made to last"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The alternator has needed to be replaced.

The clutch was worn when I bought it, but I still got 12 months out of it before I had to replace it.

General comments?

If you want a cheap to run car that keeps going and going then look no further.

When I bought this car it had only one one lady owner and came with a full Volvo service history, that I am also keeping up.

I am a person who will drive a car very hard, but this car I am glad to say keeps taking the punishment that is my every driving.

The parts can be a bit pricey, but it seems to be hard to wear out or break any part of this car.

I fitted a tow bar to this car and to my surprise it towed my small carvan a hole lot better than I expected.

On long distance driving I have found that the car keeps going at any speed and for such a small car the comfort is very high.

This car is 13 years old, but looks and drives like a much younger car I can't see me replacing it in the near future.

Well done to Volvo.

I also have a Volvo 340dl. I love it.

Because of its rear wheel drive, it is great fun. Mine is a 1989, and again just seems to go on for ever and never fails to start.

I want to get a tow bar for it if anyone knows where I might get one?
