I'm so glad to have my old 91 740 working again, I'm actually starting
to clean it up and make it look spiffier.
The bumpers were a light oxidized gray.  Fella at the auto parts store
recommended this "Back2Black" product, which is a white creamy liquid

What tools, and how to change neutral safety start switch?

Thinking of buying a 91 740. Is there anything I should be looking for, and
what is it worth? Body is in good shape and it has 260K on the engine.

I'm looking for a good and detailed repair manual for my 1989 Volvo
Turbo 760.  Although pretty much any and every device available for
sale these days comes with a digital manual, usually in Adobe Reader
format (PDF) provided online by the manufacturer, Volvo manuals seem

I've just started getting a loud metallic popping/knock noise (sounds
like one loud bang on a tin can with a metal hammer) coming from the
driver's side wheel area whenever I'm braking fairly hard within the
last few days. Sometimes it happens when braking not so hard, but it

More on my 97 850 T5 with 200K, turbo coughing during hard accel.

On further examination found that the item (PCV valve?? Or?) that

My '90 765T, 140K miles, was giving me progressively worse gas mileage,
sarting maybe a couple of months ago. Then it started surging at idle a few
weeks back. The surge rapidly got worse and after about 50 miles was
swinging from about 2000rpm to a stall. Barely made it home.

    We have a 2000 V70 with a tailgate lock that only works sometimes
with the remote. Cooler weather (San Francisco area) makes it worse. The
remote works all the other locks fine and the manual lock (key) on the
tailgate locks and unlocks the tailgate. When the remote does not ...

I own a 1988 240DL Station Wagon. Latley I have been smelling what
seems to be an exaust or gasoline smell inside the car. A friend of
mine suggessted it might be a leaky gas line or something to do with
venting in the car. I'd like to get some ideas before I take it to a

My '93 240 would not come out of park for the first time this morning.
I had to depress the shift lock override and then it worked. I put it
back in park and had to go through the whole process again to get it
out of park.

In attempting to remove the tranny oil pan to address a stripped drain
bolt, I ended up with three pieces - the pan, with the bolt still
stubbornly in place; the fill tube; and the female piece that the fill
tube goes into, which broke off the pan when I tried to pull the fill

My brick has been starting to idle horribly lately so i decided to
give the throttle body a good clean out, and suddenly the idle speed
has risen to around 1600 RPM.  I know there is a large dial that can
adjust the idle speed, but something tells me there is more to it than

Tomorrow I'm getting three new tires put on my car.  I was forced to
replace the other tire a couple of months ago after a blowout.  A
couple of weeks after they put that tire on, I happened to notice,
when approaching the car from a distance, that the new tire they'd put

My 1991 740 wagon radio isn't working properly.  When it's on there's a
terrible electronic noise coming from all speakers.  The noise is worse when
I operate anything electric (power windows or turn signals for example).  It
never gets better, only worse.  Needless to say I ...

I have a 1999 S70 which has been a great car so far. This spring I
noticed that the A/C was a bit weak and it seemed to be getting worse.
It got so bad that the compressor would cycle on for 1-2 secs and then
go off. Must be either very low on or out of R134a. So when I was in
