My POS Volvo estate came back to me (not in a bad situation or anything, just wasn't wanted anymore) - I've got to fix it up, I can't bear to see a basically decent and practical car go to waste.
Front wings are very rotten, though everything they attach to looks perfectly good. o/s/r taillight is smashed. Rear wiper motor/linkage has jammed. n/s mirror (manual adjustment) is smashed, and the steering rack is leaking somewhere.
If anyone is breaking or throwing away a 740 I can scavenge bits off, and can either remove the bits or is in SE Scotland, I'd appreciate an email about it! The tail-light is a real PITA, £50 from Volvo, £41+ postage for the ones I've found on eBay, and £10-20 from a scrappy. GSF have them for £35+VAT which is my sort of "I give up" route, I think.
It decided to die on me in B&Q, mirroring the Supra's death a few months ago. Once again, the Supra benefits - rather than buy a new battery for the Volvo, I got a Supra one instead...
