Need to be in France next weekend 7th Nov. The Diff began to squeal on my last French trip, got a French mechanic to check and fill it within 1/2hr, it was nearly dry. Since then I have had to fill it again 1k approx. The real problem is that the whole transmission is now squealing. Rear diff? Overdrive unit? Gearbox? (checked oil & looks ok) Local garage has checked it and can not offer a decent answer. A friend has suggested sawdust, not that I think this is the answer. Can anyone please suggest the best course of action. With 189k on the clock and little time or money to waste do I risk 2nd hand diff, gearbox or overdrive unit, or cut my losses and scrap it? I live between STOKE and SHREWSBURY can anyone please recommend any Volvo garages fairly local to me? Cheers Everyone May be (will be) looking for a cheap estate if you can help mail me.
