As a follow up to my issue with the rear drum rotor, I bought a new
rotor and rear e-brake shoes.
However, when I took the existing shoes off, it seems that I was given
the wrong part.  The current rear shoes look to have (forgive my

Will my 91 740 non-turbo Regina engine run E85 (ethanol) with no
deterioration problems to engine parts?

I got 1995 volvo 850 glt wagon and was cleaning it on Saturday. It was
on for a while in key turned to position II (engine not running, just
the radio and so on) when I was vacuuming the car inside. Later at
night I tried to start it and it would just do a "click' somewhere in

Considering buying one.  Bad transmission, good price. I am told that I
can get a remanufactured trans installed by the dealer for $2700.  Are
they prone to transmission problems? Anything else to be aware of.  TIA.

Finally think I figured out the problem I've been having with my 740T.
It started out as a rough idle and noisy fuel pump and eventually seemed
to get a bit worse. I noticed power loss, increased fuel consumption,
and the acceleration was not smooth. Curiously, it would normally ...

I've heard that a turbo engine will wear itself out before a non turbo
engine.  I've heard that it's better to downgrade to an older non

with a manual gearbox....  
Can anyone tell me the recommended / best oil to use for the replacement please ?

I just recently purchased a 2002 v70 and noticed that if i ease off
the gas pedal while driving and then accelerate again, the
transmission seems to take a second to catch or engage and i can feel

Hello eveyone
I have a case of SRS light staying lit, whenever I turn the key. Before,  
about 2 years ago it happened first time, and then the mechanic just reset

RE: 2000 C70
Check engine light has been going on/off.... I had a similar problem on my
ML320, turned out to be the MAF.
Mechanic told me it could be the cause on my C70...

I have a 91 Volvo 740 and I am just wondering what years of 740's parts are

Anyone have a diagram of how the cable for the emergency brake is supposed
