1984 Volvo 340 DL review from UK and Ireland
"Solid, reliable, but aged looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers front side strut collapsed.
Pneumatic struts on hatch needed replaced at 50,000 miles.
Grommet missing allowing water into drivers foot-well.
General comments?
As comfortable as you can get in a cheap runaround (£1,000 nearly 7 years ago).Slightly heavy for fuel, but reliability evens that demon out.
