I have a 1999 Volvo S80. Recently, after I stopped the engine the
cooling fan for the radiator kept running (over an hour until I
disconnected the battery).  Has anyone else had this problem and how
is it solved?

Yesterday I had my 2002 Volvo XC70 serviced.  I was advised that I would
need a new wiper blade kit.  No problems I thought as this should only be a
$20AU expense at most.  I was advised that Volvo does not just replace the
rubber but the whole wiper arm assembly on both wipers. ...

My '92 240 is getting pretty clunky; time for new front struts.  One shop
quoted me $450 US to do them... ouch!  Is this about right?  Are they something
a decent shadetree guy could do himself?

On a 240 is there a quick way to identify if the car is fitted with a
limited slip differential, other than mechanically seeing if the diff locks
or not?

Has anyone found a clean simple way of changing instrument light bulbs
(there are 4, I think) without seeming to have to take the whole car apart.
Thanks, Brad

My `84 240 DL wagon just hit 200k.  I keep the shock absorbers somewhat
up to date, but with 200k on the bushings, its still a less than elegant
ride.

Would a '95 850 T5 be as reliable as a '95 SE ?

have been looking around at other cars just to get a taste other options. I
have found almost the perfect car, with all the toys which my 1997 model
has, heated seats, headlamp wash-wipe, electric mirrors ...

Standard manual fare on how to set the memory feature.
Do you push the memory button and then the seat number to program (one
finger, two steps) or simultaneously (two fingers, one step)?
Yes, classic case of two drivers, different legs....

I have a Volvo S80 T6, and it is overheating, I believe the culprit is
a faulty thermostat. Does anyone have any experience replacing this
part, I traced back the heater hose to what I believe is the
thermostat housing, but am not sure, it does not look like others I

Would like to know how to remove cassette/radio from my 1989 240DL.  I
popped the two small square plastic panels out and removed two screws from
left side of stereo but cannot pull it out.  It seems hung up on the right
side.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know where I can buy a Repair Manual for a S70 ('98) in the Toronto

I hear, from time to time, about Volvo radio exchange programs where you

replace a poorly working unit with a factory rebuilt one. Does ...
