The two-tone leather and ultra-supportive seats are a treat. From what I've seen though, the back seats, while similar to the front, are made more for holding a glof bag than people. Then again, if you have a 780, you probably have a sedan for more than two people. A bit off topic, but still related...

That seems more likely; though I would not want the V6 version. The V6 Volvo used in the 1980's was notoriously unreliable. Besides, the B230FT is more than enough fun for me :mrgreen: . There was a gold 1990 780 for sale locally a while back, but unfortunately it sold before I could make a move on ...

I previously owned a 1985 740 GLE with a 2.3L non-turbo engine. By 1991, when the 940 Turbo was introduced, turbo lag had been virtually eliminated. My 940 in particular uses a Mitsubishi TD-4 Turbo Supercharger which is said to be more reliable than the Garret, but does not provide as much ultimate...

That, my friend is the latest in one-upmanship from Ford (in response to International producing trucks again). It is the 2006 Ford F-999,950 UltraTerrificMega Duty 240-ton tuck. Get's 10 gallons to the mile, and is powered by 4x 2,000HP GE electric motors, which are in turn powered by a single Detr...

I removed my engine before, and it was not especially diffcult; this even though I am no mechanic. The I-4 engine in the 740 (and others) is remarkably easy to work on. Basically disconnect all the lines, hoses, and wires, put support under the engine and tranny, remove the engine mounts, and un-bol...

I could possibly be the hall sensor near the distributor. This somtimes fails, and stops sending RPM data. I think the computer then begins to stop the engine, thinking the timing belt broke, and preventing engine damage. I believe the one on my 940 is starting to go too, as once in a great while (m...

Pretty good! I'm something of an audiophile, and I have installed a McIntosh hi-fi in my 940. Sounds decent, but it's not of the same caliber as my home system. I listen to a very wide variety of music, ranging from Alice Babs to Garbage and everything in between, and it does justice to all of it. M...

Here is the page with the instructions. They are about 1/3 the way down under the heading "2. Erasing Fault codes". This page also has the OBD codes as well.

I would have simply cut and paste, but the instructions make reference to other steps.
