There is massive irony in this post. It might not be as kool as the 122, but it'll be a much 'better' car than either your 740 or the 122. You wont mess wi...

And unsure of what you mean on not needing to replace multiple things to get at other bits, because once again. I don't have a 240, the 740 is very logical to get at almost everything. And it shits over a 240 for cruising, it's why I ended up with my 760 to start with.

I got rid of the V70 because it was always a project car. Dont forget that it was in very bad condition when I got it. Had it been a nice example then I probably would have kept it.

You've literally told people to not get a fwd Volvo because they all cost too much and are not worth owning.

The s40 is a passable appliance.

After doing the timing belt and oils and such, there seems to be more power. The old belt had too much slack between the two cams. So at least now it gets out of its own way.

I would have bought this if I didn't come across the S60. Glad that it found a good home.

Real Volvo sitting near a Mitsubishi Volvo. Half the valves, drive at the correct end, 1/3rd as safe in an accident, no ac, two speed wipers, loud exhaust and intake and no overdriven gear. And yet, definitely prefer to drive the 122 over the S40. That's obviously why I daily drive the S40, to prevent the car I love driving from major damage from road users. The ac is a bonus as is the safety to carry my son around in day to day situations.

To the left is my s40, or is it the right hand one? I've added the late s40 black bezel headlights and 99' model clearer style indicators.

Towed a trailer up and back to Canberra and Sydney with the dog due to it being a running car and the 740T being mid upgrades. I did not realise how may Hills there are up and back on the Hume. Going down to third and trucks overtaking is not fun.

The D5 XC90 towing 2 tons was just as underpowered...
