1986 Volvo 360 GLT review from Norway
"Reliable truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The starting-engine blew, twice.
Had to replace the key-starter, it made the starting-engine blow.
Bad bulk inside cockpit, driver-side, it has started to rust badly.
Oil-leakage that I can't find, or I am just too lazy to find.
Window-whisker "squirter" is broken.
Brake-cylinder leakage.
General comments?
It handles turns like a rally-car.
Straightens up like it was automatic.
Fine cockpit.
Replaced all brakes, still it's a bit bad.
Starts to shake after 120 km/h, balanced the tires, so now it shakes after 140 km/h.
Could be a bit tricky in the winter, have to turn the key about 3-5 times more than usual.
