For spares or repair...  used daily and drives splendidly and goes like a
train! . But needs £350 worth of welding for MOT.
 In south Kent, UK.
 Offers?

Recently I hear a hissing sound when I release the brake peddle.  It is
coming from the end or the power brake servo that is under the dash and will
stop after a short while and usually when I tap the brake peddle.  What am I
in for a fix?  The braking doesn't seem to be affected ...

Purchased a used 2000 S80Volvo with 70K from an individual in April.
Since then, I replaced the front and back brakes because I received a
message for ABS Service Required code along with a STC code.  The codes
continued to appear after I had the brakes replaced.  I suspected that

  I don't think that console on the transmission tunnel is stock,
and I'm pretty sure the brake booster was added, and there seems

I'm looking the removable part of the clip that holds the connector
for the cam position sensor in place...I've dropped mine somewhere,
and despite an extensive search and a strong magnet...it's gone.
Presumably some un-accessale part of the car is hiding it. It's sort

Well, E reg Volvo 240 2.3 petrol Estate (176,000 miles) went for MOT today
and it looks like £400 of welding plus some ball joints and a few niggly
bits to get it through...  Paid £800 three years ago and it's cost us
nothing in repairs up to now...

Situation where if AC on low fan, both the high pressure and low
pressure lines froze - frost on both lines. Pretty soon, blowing warm
air only. Fan on high, not a problem.
Also compressor seemed to fail to cycle, running all the time, and gas

I was wondering if anyone has tried any of the aftermarket HID kits
available. I have a 2001 S80 and was noticing that the headlight bulbs
were dimming a bit...so much so that I will be buying new lights soon.
The cost of new H7s will run me only $50 for the set, but I have seen

1989 turbo 760 loosing power up hill but runns smooth down hill or level.
Engin is nt shaking so sparkplugs are not a suspect
gears shift ok on downslope so tranny seems ok. when Turbo kicks in it
seems to immediatly drop power more, pulling bac ccelerator actually

There is a trigger lock on the handle of the gear shift lever on my
2000 S70 with automatic transmission.  Mine is sticking.  If it sticks
I can slide the lever between all gears.  When it sticks in Park I
cannot remove the key when the engine is turned off.

I 've had this car for 6mos. no real problems.
-a few days ago I noticed one tail light out.
replaced bulb nope- ran wire from one to the next and
got it to work.

What is the typical life expectancy of a 2000 S70 with 100,000 miles?
What major repairs can be expected and when? What are some things to
look for when purchasing this car?

I have a message position light bulk, what is a position light bulb 2002

Anyone ever had a fuel gauge go out in their 960?  Where should I look first
to fix it?  Fuses are all fine, and there's juice where there should be at
the fuse panel.
Cheers,

Karma comes is a yin and a yang.. or something like that. At least so
seems to be the case with me at the present time. I tried to open the
M47 tranny's fill plug a while back and all I could manage was to turn
the 12mm hex boss into a 10mm round stud. Damn...
