Some friends drove a few hundred miles to visit us here in town, in their Volvo. Soon after they got here, an ETS warning light came on. Looked it up in the manual, and found that ETS means Electronic Throttle System, and all it says is to take it into the dealer. The model is a

Well the 850 Platinum Edition is that much more rare since my beautiful spotless wagon was written off. It died doing its job, protecting me and my family in a crash that left its injuries too expensive for the insurance company to think it worthwhile (just

Mom's 1989 Taurus finally blew a head gasket (at 127,000 miles- what a POS), so we talked her into a Volvo. I found a pretty decent 1985 245 auto with the OD tranny. The Air conditioning has been updated/retrofitted, and the OD works flawlessly. The can has

| 1800 for daily-ish driver? | 12 Apr 2009 10:58 GMT | 5 |

The trip meter and odometer quit a week ago and I assume it is a chipped gear after reading various threads on the internet. It was like this wen I got this car 7 years ago and I had it repaired. I'm guessing I pushed the reset while I was moving which is a no no.
