"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.

Well here we are 3 years later at 164000 miles and the car's still running like a dream, think I'll keep it until I retire! (then an 850 T5!!) Fixed the ignition problem which turned out to be the ignition module and the car's just had a new radiator, but at this age to be expected.

One or two jobs for the summer ie. the fuel gauge and the passenger auto window lift motor, but shouldn't take long.
