Advice please.
I have a '93' 940 2.0T estate 113k miles (no air bags fitted). I have just
become a proud granddad, before the birth I went with my daughter to
'Mothercare' for the pram/buggy.

With gas expected to break through $55US a barrel permanently and
possibly even $100US within the next few years, I'm seriously
considering flipping my car to either natural gas or better yet,
e-power.

Does anyone know, if cruise control on the model above has been
associated with frequent problems?
I'm really getting the impresion, that our sportswagon is some kind of a
Monday version. The latest nail in the coffin was this week, when the

   I'm in need of replacing my shocks and struts on my 93 850. My
local Volvo mechanic does not recommend OEM replacements, which I
believe are Boge. He recommends Bilstein Touring Shocks as
replacements. He seems to imply that the OEM shocks and struts are a

I was considering buying a second hand volvo 850 T5 which has LPG
fitted. Should this car be ok on LPG, bearing in mind it has a turbo?
Is there anything I should be aware of? Not sure what to look for when
inspecting a car with LPG fitted.

Well, here are the test results:
ASM 2525 @1777 RPM:
HC PPM (Limit 56) -- 6
CO Percentage (Limit 0.32) -- 0.00

bizarre as it sounds, since cleaning my car interior last weekend the
remote locking has become temperamental. it still works ok, but i have
to be really close to the drivers side window and point at a pretty
specific angle.....

I am a first-time owner of a 1982 '240.
I have been a General Motors owner all of my life.
This '240 was given to me by a co-worker.
It has been a project car for my 16-year old son and me.

I have a '93 850 GLT w/ 200k miles that was running great. Now it will
turn over but won't start. I replaced the spark plugs before this all
happened and started up for a minute- it ran fine. 2 days later I went
to start and it doesn't fire up. I pulled 2 plugs to see a healthy

My key won't turn in the ignition of my 2003 V70. Tried several
sets--same problem.
Called Volvo Roadside Assistance, told them that towing it will be
tricky b/c it's parked in my garage. They said let the tow truck driver

I'm an automobile mental midget.  I have a '94 940 Station wagon, and
I've recently noticed that the fan is staying on after I shut off my
car.  It runs for a couple of minutes and then stops.  My old car used
to do this (nissan) and it was ok, but my volvo just started this.  Is

I have an old hydronic heater I have just fixed. (Dead glow pin)
But wonder where to mount it in the engine compartment?
Have Volvo a certain place to put it, I think it should be well clear of
brake lines etc.

does anyone know what the in-tank pump puts out as far as pressure? I'm
working on using an intank fuel pump from a 1982 volvo 240 in a modified
Yamaha Virago xv700 motorcycle and I need to make sure that it can put out
the needed pressure. Does anyone know what that pump is ...

Been a loyal 240/740 owner for 10 years.
Time to move on, does the 850 wagon hold the same reputation for
reliability and modest repair costs?
I am looking at a 94 with 130K.
