Hi All, I have a 04 XC90 where the rear gate isnt going all the way to
the top, I have to lift it a good foot after I hit my head on it (and
I keep hitting it over and over) is this a fix I can get parts for and

I have a problem in that my windscreen wipers operate slowly or stop
midwipe, is an intermitant problem, I have a new battery and all other
electrics work ok any help appreciated.....thx..

I have a '97 Volvo S40 and I am having a lot of problems getting it to
go into 1st, 2nd and reverse gears.  I can get into first by lifting
the reverse latch and putting the gearstick through the motion of
going into reverse.  Getting into reverse is very difficult, it

My 1988 240 has a mystery leak. I thought that it might have been moter oil
leaking from the filter gasket so no big deal, I just cleaned it off as I
was going to change the oil anyway. But then last night the tranny was
slipping a bit and I'm thinking O sh.t. So I checked the fluid ...

I took a 2004 C70 for a test drive today. When I took my hands off the
steering wheel, the car
pulled to the right. When I told the salesman about it, he said it was
a European safety feature.

The airconditiong in the my above vehicle has ceased to work. If I apply
power to the clutch on the a/c unit it engages and cools perfectly. I have
tried various suggestions from the Brickboard website,but still can't solve
the problem. Any suggestions would be very much ...

My water pump started to make noises... so I decided to change it.
I've got some experience, I did a body-off resto on a 145, and
did all the regular maintenance on a 81 240 before it got
totaled......

I got  the new Fluke 114 DVM today and tested  the voltage from the O2
sensor. this one has the averaging function and analog bar graph.
Its a new sensor from RockAuto.com. Replacing the old one had no
effect on gas mileage,  it remained at 16 mpg.

I have an '05 XC90 that has an occassional crunching noise in the front end
(turning, backing, sometimes braking).  Some time ago, the tie rods were
replaced under a service notice, and the crunch appeared after that.  The
dealer has looked at this about 3 or 4 times, re-torqued ...

Hey All
I just came across this video on You Tube.  They crash a 15 year old
Volvo 940 estate, for many people the epitome of a solid and safe
family car, into a 3 year old Renault Modus, notable as the first

Hi, all.  I have a 1965 122S, and while it will never be a show car,
it's a fun car for putting around the neighborhood, and even with
almost 300k miles, it keeps on going without much complaining.  Here's
the problem.  Today, when rolling down the driver's window, I felt a

Okay im purchasing an s70 and giving it a tune up off the bat, the car

Id be asking for problems putting in castrol syntec in a car thats

Hi Everyone;
My turn signals will no longer flash (they come on and stay solid, but no
tickie tocky).  I assume this is the turn signal relay or is it some other
component that does this?  Where is the relay in the car?  I can hear it in

My wife's 98 V70 AWD has recently (last 3-4 months it has become
progressively louder) developed a noise at idle, which stops when the
car is being driven.  Initially, this was just while the car was in
"park" and would subside when put in gear.  However, over time, it has
