Need Help Boston/Rhode Island: Volvo 1996 850 GLT repairs

Post by shillings55 »

Hi there,

I have a few repairs I need to accomplish on my 1996 850 GLT (non-turbo). Most pressing is a radiator leak. I'd like to do a whole coolant clean and flush too.
Next is a noisey serp. belt idler pulley (I already replaced the tensioner and tensioner pulley).
And in the future, I'd like to do the suspension.
I'm looking for someone who has experience doing these jobs in the Boston or Rhode Island area.
I'd be purchasing all parts from FCP. I have the tools necessary to do the job but have had trouble in the past getting my car on to jack stands because I only have one jack.
I'm an art and design (photography, furniture design) student and love working on my own car. I look forward to working on these jobs with someone willing to share their experience and skill and would be happy to my barter time and skills as well if the helper were interested.

Thank you,
Will
