Well just got her on E-Bay motors, 171k.  It seems very nice except for
three problems, any advice would be nice.
It seems to lean a way lot making left turns--but not right.  Have yet to
crawl under it--does it have an rear anti sway bar--perhaps a link snaped?

The thermostat in my 1974 144 has been sticking so I'm going to pick up an
IPD replacement and install it soon.  Looks easy enough although I've never
done it before.  Any install tips or hints?  Do I need to drain any coolant
before I do it?

Where do I find information on trougble-shooting the seat-back motor
and its connection to the seat?
I haer the motor working (vibrations and sound) but there's no change
in the seat postition.

When I was looking under the hood of my 1989 turbodiesel van I saw that oil
was leaking from the ventilation on top of the engine in the lid above the
valves. The rubber tube from there goes into a metal manifold(?) which is
attached to the turboloader on one end and to a plastic ...

I am looking to extend the useful life of our 1994 940 wagon. Mechanically it is sound right now (170K+ miles), and I am looking for replacement seats. The original tan cloth seats, while still very comfortable, are stained from years of dribbles from juice boxes, sippy cups, and ...

Anyone come across this and how did you fix it. Driving along and you push
the clutch in. Clutch pedal goes all the way to the floor and doesn't come
up again. You pull over and stop. On looking at the clutch slave cylinder
and clutch release arm you find that the clutch slave ...

Wife was driving fine all day. Went to start, nothing. Got the mumbo jumbo
display on the radio and all warning lights were dim. I couldn't even get
the windows to go up. After a couple of seconds turn key again and still
nothing but the warning lights look normal and I was able to ...

Does the late 90's volvo v70 Tdi (UK) require specialist servicing (ie
Volvo main dealer)or can a decent independent do it? Do independents
have the equipment/skills to plug into the engine for diagnostics?
Independent volvo specialists seem much rarer for some reason compared

I just bought a 1995 Volvo 850 and the SRS light does not light up upon
turning the ignition on.  I had the local Volvo dealership do quite a bit of
diagnostics.  They finally determined the some one had spilled a large coke
to go on the center console and it some how destroyed ...

On my 1990 Volvo 740GL the A/C compressor cycles about every 10 to 30
seconds, when the a/c clutch kicks in, the dashboard warning lights flash,
the a/c compressor clutch releases and in a few seconds it happens again.
Any ideas on what to check or replace?

On our 1998 V70 (101373 miles), the tracs and ABS lights are now staying lit
when the motor starts.  (The car got a routine servicing shortly after 100K
miles.)
Does this mean we have lost the ABS braking system?  The regular brakes seem

Mine is a 1991 Station Wagon, 740.  140K miles.  I had a no-start several
days ago but it has started OK since.  I suspected the fuel pump relay so I
pulled it and put it back in (presumably cleaning the contacts in the
process).  The car has been fine since then.  But I am ...

I'm considering purchase of an 1994 850 sedan. It has a 10 valve engine.
Is it considered as reliable as the 20 valve version?
Does the 10 valve engine use regular rather than premium gas?
Does it get better mileage than the 20 valve engine?

I've downloaded and installed VADIS 2001 Edition F.
It installs without any problem, with the exception of the configurator,
which during the setup gives me an error (cannot find regsvr32.exe) but
apparently this should not influece a good installation.

Hi, Does any one have an overview of the X70 transmission? I'm looking for
the speed sensor.
