Volvo's dead

Emjay · 17-07-09, 08:58 AM

Got to the bottom of the road this morning and she died

Ended up having to push her to the side and call the RAC. Just waiting for them to turn up. Tell you what she's a chuffing heavy lump to push too

Not been my week for cars this week. Never mind I might get a Corsa on loan for a few days again

Join the club mate, trown the cambelt on the Mazda

Find out later if we have killed the valves

Sorry to hear Mart and Big Hairy Smurf-like Character

Not been my week either.Spent £500 at Powerflow,only for it to blow like fook from downpipe to whats left of hacked and welded connector Audi pipe that was!!

Runs shite,idles high.

Wanna kick the thing.

Just like owning a 480 Turbo again......which takes us back to Volvo!

sorry to hear your bad luck fellow guy's

Seems like something has let go big time in the engine so she's gone off to Warrington. Thankfully for me it all gets chalked off to the company and lease firm. I do moan about the tax I have to pay now on the thing now and again but at the moment it all seems worth it. Just hanging around now to see what turns up on the doorstep to fill her shoes for a couple of weeks.

Summits let go,says Mart,as if he doesnt rag the roof off it largeington stlyieeee!

Hope its a Mini Metro Mart,with the walnut gearknob Lynn negotiated for you.

Glad its not just me having problems, most reliable car in the family at the moment is Lynns 97' A4 TDI, trouble free and still chugging around at 50mpg and 128k miles ( touch wood ).

Managements '96 A4 TDI is behaving at the moment it did need the aircon regassing but other wise fine ." touches wood" 182,000 miles
