I have Volvo 850 from 1997, and its right headlight wiper motor is
faulty. My friend was visiting a couple of hundred kms distant scrapyard
and brought me both left and right headlight wiper motors for a really
small price. I was told in advance that one is faulty, but they didn't

I have a 1985 Volvo 240 with a manual transmission w/ push-button
overdrive.  The overdrive has not been engaging and here is what the
car will do when attempting to shift into overdrive:
Driving in 4th gear, I press clutch and push overdrive button

Here are some pictures I shot this morning. Couple of things about the
pics:
1- the car is in low light and covered with dew.
2- The hood is not damaged, something doesn't work well with a hood

Howdy all,
I've been incognito for a few months - sorry for the delay. My 1987
740 GLE is going WELL. I drove her 1500 miles roundtrip recently and
make routine 150 mile trips. I love my VOLVO.

My 89 740 GL wagon stalls every once and a while .
Usually I am at a stop or coming to a stop when the engine stalls. It cranks
over strong but does not fire.
After about 5 mins the engine starts and runs no problem. The first time it

Are the FCP Groton bushings (rear suspension 89 Volvo 245) of
sufficient quality to be considered as replacements?  Whole set of ten
is $77 or so. [Rubber, not urethane.]  I'd hate to do all the work of
installing them and then have someone tell me to use better

My wife finally let me purchase a 1990 Volvo 240 DL for a commuter car
because she won't give up her V70. I have a few questions about the
240.
I'm going to be commuting about 400 miles a week and it already has

I'm going to change the tyres on our 2001 V70 soon - they've got Pirelli
P6000s on that seem OK although I've had punctures/valve problems in all
of them and one is still leaking. Any other recommendations? We're in
the UK.

Perpetual motion for time anyway,  just need to recycle the oil leaking
out of this Volvo.....  Last Volvo leaked also no wonder Ford is going
broke.  Next time a nice non-leaking Japanese car,  a Mazda would be nice.

My 88 240 gently coasted to a halt recently and I discovered that the
timing belt had busted. No nasty crunchy noises were heard from the
dying engine. But I have been told that the engine is now beyond
economical repair. And yet I discover on other Volvo sites that this

a friend and I are looking to experiment with an electrolysis cell to
produce Brown's gas (hydrogen and oxygen together), to be fed into an
automobile engine. We were thinking of using my '89 volvo 240, which is
fuel-injected. The question I have is, should I feed the gas in AHEAD ...

I just purchased my first Volvo a week ago as a spare vehicle.  I drove about
50 miles today and pulled over on the side of the road (highway) to snap a
photo (and left the car running).  I returned to the car and took off back on
the highway, the car reved up to about 3200 rpm then ...

I am considering the purchase of a '96 Volvo 850 as a second car.  There
are two problems with the car that I know of:
a) The antenna mast doesn't move, but I hear the motor when the radio
  is turned on or off.  So I think the nylon chain must be broken

I need to buy some door trim and a rear tailight cover for my 240
Wagon.
Any suggestions for good (cheap) places to shop for these parts
online?
