Our '95 850 with automatic transmission has a quirky problem.

I went to get my tyres changed on my 1998 s40 at the weekend.
The greasy little monkeys decided to undo the locking bolt with the
pnuematic gun (not sure of name) which ripped the key part out of the

radiator. This I have fixed, and at the time did my best to flush out the

This weekend mother nature dropped our temperature down into the
teens, and covered everything with ice.
Mid day I decided to crank my '89 Volvo 240.
It turned over easily enough, but would not "catch."

All of the exterior lights on my wagon are flickering, just slightly you can
hardly notice them the license plate light is the worst. Where should I

Okay, a newbie, fairly general question.  I drive an '03 V40.  Can I replace
the standard headlight bulbs (not the whole lens, etc.) with a Bi Xenon
version?  And if so, are there any restrictions or things I need to watch
out for (e.g. could I damage the electrics or blow the new ...

Every so often, after several days or weeks of starting fine, our 2000 V70
will be found in the garage with almost a dead battery and will need a
jumper to start. The battery is almost new and nothing has been left on. It
only happens after being left over night in the garage for ...

Our 1993 960 is in the shop for a transmission gear selector switch and
we've decided to have some extra work done to it.
The suspension has been wallowy and choppy for a while now, it was never

looking to buy a cheap 2nd hand car - 10 yr old ones with 90k miles e.g.
little fiesta etc. how long do modern engines last?
would a 10 yr old 440 Volvo with a Renault engine in it incidentally be a
