Hi I have a 1993 940GL Sedan - 2 brand new tyres, volvo mags, 2.3-litre, air con re-gassed and rewound, user manual. 4th gear has stopped working. Suggestions on what to do = sell or wreck or any offers please?

OD is probably the relay or solenoid
Easy fixes

Is this the one for sale on Gumtree?

OD is the overdrive which is the 4th gear. Being an easy fix means sell.
Where in Aus are you?

Should be easy and free to get the OD relay looked at / fixed...
VOLDAT in Moorabbin or Berry Motor Grp in Mitcham OR Swedish Wreckers ( may be exxy)
Any of them could buy , others here may pay more , if yu have space and time then wrecking may be good for you. here and ebay and Volvo Club Vic best places ..

If it could be easily fixed,would you keep it? Is it good enough to keep? How many Ks? Has it been looked after? Is the paint OK? If OD is not working,thats not enough to sell it. My OD stopped working and all it needed was a relay. Just cos its old,doesnt mean you chuck it. The scrapped/wrecked value is not what determines it value. Its how much life it has left and what it will do for you. Relays being replaced is common with age,so you will have to educate yourself ,maybe through here. :-) If the car is in good nick,you will get many more years out of it with safe driving. Brakes saves lives and the 240/740/940 brakes are the best.

Maybe we could help them by educating them. I was overwhelmed when i first got my 240. people helped me,now i know less than before..no,no,i know more than before and ive got a great car. :-) If the person is willing to learn,we can help them. 940's are a great car!
