If you do, every time you go to Amazon you'll see random things for random Volvos. Once you've seen one of THESE pop up, the parts you need for your P80 or other Volvo...

It does seem odd that it would be the ignition switch at only 78,000. Still sounds like a loose connection or maybe a connection that somewhat corrodes or a relay that needs to be reseated after many years.

They sold today. Neil. Neil, I can get you these for $100 for 4 with decent tires. Wheels are the right size 16 x...
