1988 Volvo 340 GL review from UK and Ireland
"Solid slugger that will move if needed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Distributor cap faulty, causing lumpy performance.
Rear wheel bearing, this is a current problem I have to repair!!
Fan belt pulley loose, again not too much
problem to repair.
General comments?
Considering mileage of this car, I have
been pleased with performance and build
quality is of a solid nature...... just
shut those car doors and see what
I mean!!!!
Appearance is ugly!!! But that will
deter thieves!!!!
