1996 Volvo S40 CD review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Now at 42,000 miles. On my 3rd set of front tyres. At 30,000 miles needed new pads and discs. At 25,000 the vanes in the catalytic converter came loose, needing total replacement.
General comments?
Overall - impressed. Main problem is time for parts, 1 week delay for discs to be flown in from Sweden! 35.00ukp for plastic wheel trim (luckily it's a company car). However, comfortable, well equipped, airco/cruise/cd player etc. I really do miss a rear wiper though.
