The radio antenna on the top rear of my 240 wagon keeps hitting the
door and roof pipes in the parking garage at work.  Annoying and I'm
concerned it could lead to problems with it.  I assume I can bend it
backwards so it doesn't bang everytime?  Any tricks to doing this

Are you as anal as I am? I suppose there are all sorts of extreme
levels of cleanliness when it comes to cars, but I hate to work on
dirty cars.. I'm not talking about show-car clean where the underside
of the dash is painted to match, rubbed out, and waxed, but the sort

I have a 1996 850 and the steering wheel is starting to show signs of wear
on the outside of the rim, where I hold onto it.  I wonder if anyone in the
group has had success in re-coating, re-surfacing or just plain lacquering
the wheel to make it look a little better.  Any stories, ...

I have a 94 850 T5 estate, and the cruise control won't engage at all - it
went intermittent for about a week, then died all together.
Any ideas?
Cheers,

Have checked the diagnostic console and it is giving a code for an Air Mass
Meter problem.  Looking in Haynes manual is difficult to know whether the
air mass meter is the whole of that large pipe or just a part of it as the
diagram is inconclusive.

I'm (still) having trouble with starting my car requiring lots of turnover
(10-20 secs) at times.
It's been suggested that this may be due to a sticking tappet which keeps
the valve slightly

will it make any difference to fuel consumption and power using 95 RON fuel
against 91 RON fuel in a 89 240 or am i wasting my $$$ usung the higher RON
fuel?

Recent changes at home are precipitating a change in our vehicles: we
need to go to a wagon.
Now I have a 1983 240 Turbo that I thought was pretty peppy. Then we
added a 760 GLE and I find it to be CONSIDERABLY more peppy. In

i had an oil leak from rear main, that was fixed, now its pushing oil out of
front seal where pulley is.
mechanic told me that its caused by sticking piston ring(s), pressurising
the crankcase.

I would like to install a boost gauge in my 850R, could anyone advise
me of a manufacturer of a RH drive windscreen pillar pod in the UK or
from any other RH drive market, I've only been able to research LHD
side pillar pods.

Can anybody help me with an intermittent electric window problem I am having
with my 98 S70, the electric windows stop operating from time to time, hence
this has left me cold and wet a couple of times. I have taken the car to a
Volvo dealer who told me that the main window ...

The fan has suddenly stopped working, though the A/C seems to be OK. Is
there a fuse/relay controlling this? I cannot even see how you access the
fan easily to check whether the control resistors have "liberated"
themselves. Short of a sledgehammer, can you get your arm in to see ...

I noticed this morning that the heater fan is no longer doing
anything. I have checked the fuse and replaced it but still no action.
I can hear the servo operating the gate in the system and the AC and
Recirc lights come on so I know the control panel is getting power.

I lost my link to a volvo website where you could input a problem and it
would tell you possible solutions.
Anyone have this link?
           Thank you

hello gang: my 940 estate has just started doing some weard things in as
much as it feels like fuel starvation. I drove it about a mile and as i
slowed down and then put my foot down to carry on, it was like it had no
fuel for a second and then burst back into life. Almost as if ...
