Bought it! Not as much go as the old 850 but still a nice drive.
Took it out, no noticeable noises or knocks, seemed to change gear smoothly. No oil visible in the engine bay or underneath. No watching lights. Ran a cheap ODB scanner on it for the 30 minute test drive - no faults detected. Paid the money. Drove home.
Turned off the ignition and the fan kicked in, loud as all hell. Could just about hear my wife's annoyance/fury over it. Perhaps 10 mins later it shut off. Any ideas?
Also, didn't hear it during the test drive but when I got near home I started to notice a weird noise that seemed to come from the dash as I turned corners - it was like water/fluid rushing from side to side. It was almost like a half empty bottle of water rolling around, but without the sound of a bottle hitting anything. And yes, I checked under the seats. Any ideas, please?
My wife will literally kill me if I've bought another lemon. It's took her about a year to even let me consider another Volvo. If this one is a dud I'll be banned for life.
Thanks
