Major Ledfoot@euphiefernn I will give @jackafrica a phone call tomorrow and see if he can recommend somebody he knows is good in your area to have a look at it for you. I am really tied up for the next few weeks.
That coolant looks awful. Avoid driving the car if you can.
Sounds lovely! Thank you very much!
yeh I know... I have heaps things need to do, don't think I can without but I'll try as much as I can.
@euphiefernn what @Major Ledfoot means is park it up and don't drive it. The only time to drive it is to the repair shop.
Is the oil the same colour?
It might also be cheaper/easier to cut your losses, flog off the 740 and get something else (i.e. a Toyota). If time is a factor, waiting for the head gasket will take a week anyway.
FWIW the gasket set is: https://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/engine/gaskets/cylinder-head/gasket-set-cylinder-head/1000490/
Roinik@euphiefernn what @bgpzfm142 means is park it up and don't drive it. The only time to drive it is to the repair shop.
Is the oil the same colour?
no the engine oil more like clear brown.
I just found this item not sure if this helps for a while?

Get it fixed properly

Thank you so much!
I would like to visit and inquire about it, but I guess they might say the same as other mechanics... ‘there's no worth to fix it etc’ haha...

They say that, to make you go away. They don't want slow tedious work, they would rather do oil services and make more money.
But, they have been recommended by fellow volvo enthusiasts so I would give them a call
