Thanks all. Poll is now active (first post in this topic).

You can vote for all 22 if you've experienced all of them, and you can change your vote over the months/years.

I must have gotten one of those special 850's that don't break.

[jblackburn]

Count yourself lucky, I've got 11 of those above things

I've only got 5 but they aren't critical parts; just stuff like the antenna, etc. lol

I cast my votes on several items and the RMS may be next. Not sure how much it is leaking although my local shop says it is. My first expensive repair was the putting in a new dash after I found my mounts in tiny, non-reassembled pieces. Would have been loads more expensive if I had a shop do it. Thanks to those who went before me and provided a detailed guide on removing an instrument panel. Might have left the world of Volvos at that point if not for the illustrated guides.

But the great thing about our 850's is not only are most of those items DIY friendly but we have a knowledge base of how to fix them including pictures. The internet is amazing sometimes.

Amen to that. This site in particular is priceless. If Volvos were more reliable we wouldn't get to know them as much as we do.
