Hi there, I'm looking at getting a car for my son to learn to drive with and he is very keen to learn with a manual gearbox! Anyway, my budget is not huge and I have found a 1987 240GL with the 5 speed box. It has done 350,000 Kms and has no accident history. Can anyone give me some advice on how lo...

Hello everyone John here. Thanks for the above replies. If anyone is interested the recall is # 09V483000- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP - which can be viewed by going to http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2002/volvo/v70/recalls/index.html A pop up box will come up that has "Start My Com...

My V70 has a constant smell of fuel which was initially tracked down to all seals on the top of the fuel tank herniating out!. All was well for a week or two then it did it again.

Hi there. My daughter had a bubby prang in our 2002 V70 and the glass in the LHS headlight is broken. Can you just replace the glass or does the whole assembly have to be replaced. Also, can anyone please provide a link that demonstrates how to R&R the headlight? Many thanks

Hi all. My 2002 V70 has a continuing problem in wearing out the inside edge of each front tyre. Typically I only get about 20,000 kms before a new set is required. It seems to be a latent defect of the V70 steering geometry, as other cars I've checked seem to have identical wear issues. Other than r...

Hi there, when I'm driving the car's radiator seems to be working ok with the airconditioner on, however if I'm stationary in traffic the temp creeps up towards the red! Is this normal? The coolant is new and there are no obvious leaks from the water pump or radiator both of which are original. The ...
