Brakes groaning and other newb questions

Post by roscoHZJ73 »

Hi Ive just bought my 1st Volvo.Its a late 88 RHD aussie spec 740GL and its in really nice condition. I bought it off an elderly couple who have owned it since new.
It has 130000 miles on the clock with all the service records from Volvo .
I paid $2500 ($1900USD)which is the median price for these in Australia.
I plan to use it as my DD to save on fuel and maintenance costs of driving my diesel Landcruiser all the time.

The only glich so far is the front brakes are groaning and the front shock absorbers also seem to be squeaking,possible the rubber bushes.

I did a search on this forum regarding the brakes groaning and one post suggested cleaning the discs and pads with brake cleaner.

Anyone else had this problem and how did they fix it? :?:

Also whats the difference between a GL and GLE? :?

What kind of fuel economy can I expect :shock:
