Just taken my '98 240 for m.o.t. It failed on holes in cils and floorpan.
There has been a previous repair about 4 inches from the current hole. The hole is about an inch long. so, do I give up now or try and get this repaired. Do I assume that the fact there has been previous repair may indicate lots of hidden rot?
Located in uk.
Oh what I wouldn't give for a '98 240.

Sorry, that should have been '89.
what would it cost you to replace it vs cost of repair? Is it worth a few quid for another year of cheap motoring???
Would be cool if they still made them in other markets... like how VW fans can see the Mark I and II Golfs still made brand new in South Africa.
1998 Volvo 240: 240 with the Inline 4 from the S40 adapted for rear drive (old style) unturbo and turbo versions, sedan and wagon... With all the latest safety gear, plus all that old style stuff everyone loved about the 240.S/V20, S/V20T I guess it'd be called
Plus since AWD is the rage... a AWD turbo I-5 "R" version with maybe
230-250hp... 6 speed manual with the 6th gear engaged by electric button, for classicness ;-) S20R, V20R and XC20 maybe tooOh and a D5 wagon too - for haulin stuff.
S/V20 D5
How's the rest of the car? If it looks nice and drives solid then look into getting it fixed, if you're itching for something else then perhaps it's time to move on.
Tease.
