Re: S60 Car jack supporting points

Is that a little dangerous that the whole side of the car is off the gound. There is only one support in the middle. How can I be sure that it will not tip over to the side where the tire is removed.

S60 Car jack supporting points

I had a strange problem when I tried to change my tires to snow tires. I had no problem chnaging 3 tires (driver side front and rear, passenger side rear). I used the regular car jack that comes with my S60. The supporting point for the car jack on my 2004 S60T is almost in the middle of the car. I ...

Solar trickle charger

Is it a good idea to have a Solar trickle charger connected to the battery all the time ? I have a 88 740Turbo with a 5 year old battery. It shows no sign of any defect. I am working evening shift so I do a lot of short trips in the evening with the light on. Some one told me that I can use a solar ...

Overdrive relay on 740T

I have a 1988 740Turbo. Recently the overdrive indicator comes on randomly. When it came on, my car dropped into 3rd gear (I think) and slows down. This is no good at all when I am driving at high way speed around 100 -120 KM/hr. I have checked the overdrive switch on the handle of the automatic tra...

Air Conditioner freon leak

The air conditioner of my 88 740T stopped working last year. I took it to the mechanic who said that he has put in a conversion kid and fill up with the new type of freon ($200 job). It worked for a week and it stopped working again. The mechanic claimed that the freon has leaked out because there i...

Found the problem with the clock. Fuse 5 was blown. It is strange because fuse 5 also feeds the radio. I was able to see the light come on on the radio. That's why I did not suspect fuse 5. Now that I have the clock fixed. I still have the radio wiring problem. I need the help on the wiring of the e...

Clock not working after radio removal

I removed the radio (it actually has a label that says TD-6141 AM/FM tuner deck) on my 1988 740T because it went silent after 2 or 3 minutes of playing the radio or tape. I want to check it out or replace it if needed. But after I removed the radio, my clock stops working. So I reconnected everythin...

I have a similar symptom on my 1988 740T 3 years after I got it new. I was 90 miles south of Rochester on the highway waiting for the tow truck. While I was waiting for the tow truck, I smell something burning. I follow the smell and saw signs of overheating on the white plastic (now brown because o...
