1992 Volvo 940 GL review from UK and Ireland
"Comfort and space are unbeatable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lots of strange 'electronic' faults, eventually traced to a faulty crankshaft sensor.
Speedometer became intermittent at about 120,000, dry solder joint in the dashboard.
Electric aerial has never worked properly.
Lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat broke at 130,000.
General comments?
Have owned many Volvos in the past, this one has had more faults than others, but nearly all due to 'electronic' problems.
Seats are really comfortable - great car for long distance motor-way driving.
Loads of space - a great 'rubbish' carrier!
