1994 Volvo 940 GLE review from UK and Ireland
"A brilliant workhorse - I was unlucky with this one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine seized at 110k miles. Fault appeared to be due to 'bad oil'- when engine was stripped and cleaned was found to be totally undamaged and without any signs of wear. Still, the bill was around £1500uk for the rebuild.
Petrol pump needed replaced at around 112k miles.
Headlamp wiper motor replaced at 130k miles.
New battery around 100k miles.
3 tyres replaced.
General comments?
This car has tons of space, which is what I need most.
It is reasonably quick, but I suppose not all that economical.
It can turn on a sixpence, and is really easy to park.
For its age, quite a high degree of comfort. Great seats, loads of legroom in the back.
Comparatively simple mechanics and parts now readily available from sources other than main dealers.
