850 Difficult to Start

Hi A friend of mine has a 1994 2.0 estate which is having episodes of being difficult to start. She mainly does short runs around town in it and some days it is fine, but on others struggles to get started. So far it has always got started, but she's getting worried that one day she'll get stuck. Ba...

1990 460 Front Fog Lights

I've got a LHD 1990 460 and I want to put the fog lights in the front spoiler. The problem is that I'm in the UK and the car is in E. Europe where I spend a lot of the time.

What should I look for when buying

Hi I've had a 460 for a while now, but need something bigger from the Volvo stable. I'm looking for either a 740, 940 or 850 estate and was wondering if there was anything in particular to look out for when deciding which (issues, known problems, which engine etc) Any help would be most appreciated ...

Where does it connect? 1990 460

I've got a LH drive 460 with a carburettered B18K engine. On the bulkhead next to the cylindrical vapour separator is a large rubber grommet with a plastic cylindrical thing set in it. The grommet also takes the screen washer pipe through one side. The only problem is that in an earlier photograph I...

Hot running problem, 1990 460

When it's cold it runs perfectly so it's not a dirty fuel issue especially as I've put in an extra filter in the fuel line. Also, once in clear traffic and it sort...
