Guys,
I am about to take a look at an S80 (unknown spec but manual) and I wondered
what I should look out for - any suggestions?
Any obvious weaknesses, with this model and is mileage a problem?

I'm looking at a 69 P1800S - a lot of the weatherstripping is shot. As
you can tell by my sig, I play mainly with Studebakers. Can anyone tell
me if rubber is available for this car?
Thanks in advance

Are you any relation to the Klein that used to post to this group about
ten years ago who raced motorcycles?

My 1989 740GL just turned 190K miles.  I'd like to increase my mpg from
the 22 I'm getting now.  I check the tire pressure weekly, so my next
stop is under the hood.  Thanks in advance for your replies.

I have a 2001 S80 T6 with about 80,000 miles.  After having it in to the
dealer for some transmission work the steering seems to have a lot of play
in it while driving.  Driving down a straight road with no wind the steering
wheel will sometimes be cocked to the left a bit and ...

Does anyone else have this problem?
My 1994 940 Wagon has issues with the tail light lens assemblies.  It
appears that the heat from the bulbs melts the plastic and causes the metal
contacts to receed.  This causes the assembly to lose contact witht he bulb

I just changed my left headlight bulb and I noticed the whole
(reflector) assembly is loose. I took it to the dealer and they said
it needed to be changed, and that they they have to order the parts.
Since I imagine that will cost a bundle, I am thinking, why not see if

Recently I encountered a strange problem of my Volvo car which is 1988
240 GL model. The car's engine would stop running when the fuel tank
has less than 2/3 of the petrol. The situation became worse when the
car was on the uphill slope at that time, the engine would not even be

    I found a small electric rocker switch on my 92 960 wagon.  It's
on the side panel by the driver's left foot, just in front of the hood
release lever.  Any idea what it does?

If the car has been soaking in the cold for hours, I get the "light
out" warning on the dash come on, either immediately on starting or
shortly thereafter. Usually appears at -10C (that's 10F for the

Has anyone here ever tried putting a new kingsize mattress (160cm x 205cm)
in the back of a volve estate (sorry, don't know what model, just " a big
one"!)
If not, reckon it'll fit, diagonally, with a bit of squeezing/bending?

My wipers are possessed!
They are going on by themselves and no going on when they should. As it's
raining here it makes it hell to drive, not to mention dangerous.
Has any one else had this happen? If so what needed to be done to fix it?

Frustrating and potentially dangerous. From time to time when I travel
on the highway, especially on inclines, my engine stumbles and I lose
power. The last time it happened, yesterday, black smoke starting
coming out of the tailpipe and the turbo guage was in the white zone.

Both rear side demister on my V70 estate are not working.  Where do I start
looking.

Will a S60 bar/rack fit a V70?
Is it just a different Thule fit kit or will it go without mods?
I have a 2001 V70 and can get a used S60 factory bar set.
Are the factory racks similar/same as the Thule Aero foot set?
