1988 Volvo 740 DL Estate review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Usual service items exhaust, tyres etc.
Fuel gauge & speedo.
Front running lights.
Niggling fault with the fuel injection system.
New front discs fitted.
General comments?
I have had Volvos now for 20 years and wouldn't have anything else. Though I hope the acquisition by Ford doesn't make a difference.
Stay away from the little Volvos, they ain't Volvos as such. The only real Volvo is a big un!
Generally reliable, they go on forever but like all cars they do have niggling little faults.
