Any thoughts on the advisability or otherwise of mixing 10W-30 oil of different brands (Castrol GTX; Valvoline Premium; Quaker State)? Andy I. ('97 850 AWD wagon, light turbo, stickshift; ~166 000 Km / 103 000 miles)

Hi folks, subject car is 1986 740 Turbo Intercooler. It still has the 1 piece rotor, and I need to convert to 2 piece. I have a frozen caliper, and don't want to spend money on the old setup. I have a 1988 740 GLE for parts. My plan is to remove the hubs from

What BMW and Mercedes Benz models are roughly equivalent to the Volvo S-60? I'm thinking in terms of size, interior room, handling and accelleration.

| about brake squeal... | 16 Jun 2009 19:18 GMT | 2 |
not just related to my '89 240, but all cars with disk brakes seem prone to squeal. I've always wondered just what part is making the noise. The caliper is pretty massive, as is the rotor. Since the pads are being pressed against the rotor when the brakes are applied, I can't ...

I have a 1973 Volvo 142. Mechanically it is in pretty good shape. The body is rusting away faster than I can patch it. I don't really know what to do with it. I've driven this car steadily for five years and it has only ever broken down once.

| clutch advice | 08 Jun 2009 02:34 GMT | 6 |
98 V70. The clutch has recently been 'howling' at me when I let it out under stress (accelerating quickly or starting up a hill). It sounds like a walrus almost, and it's pretty loud. It's had the factory clutch in it for 163,000 miles so I'm pretty sure that's what I need
