Speaking from experience, Volvos are not that reliable and the dealers are expensive! BUT our 13 year old 940 turbo has now done 150,000 miles and still mostly still drives like a car only a few years old (even the air con still works). Parts are fairly cheap via eBay and via Motor Factors and when you dismantle Volvos they go back together again without things breaking. You're handy with the spanners so why not go the DIY route? New disks all round and pads should be only £50-£100 and an hour or two to fit. Power steering pump only slightly more. All the money you save can then be poured into the 888!! Keith |
