Or have you now shot the guy who sold it to you?:D
You sent your wife to AutoZone. To have a battery replaced. Wow. That was saving a penny to spend a pound, as they say in the U.K. [mad2]
I have very little sympathy for you on that judgment call....

Two suggestions:

You can also try Bobby at EuroParts (recycler) in Aylmer, Quebec. He will ship UPS anywhere. He speaks English.
I think he recently had two 2001s come...

Heck I sure do!
That is great stuff. I never quite grasped why IPD would produce kickass project cars... then not make most of the stuff available through the catalog afterwards.... [sly]
Looking for a bit more input, before I let this go....
Thanks to all who have answered/posted replies.

Hmmm... so now we're saying/suggesting/debating that the sole advantage to an '03 would be the Haldex. And that is more of a driveability advantage than a reliability one (or so I just recently read...
Now that you mention it, I don't think I have yet seen an '02 for sale within 200 miles from me. Lots of 2001s. Number of 2003s, now more 2005s. Never seem to see 02s or 04s.
Actually more precision would be helpful.
Year and model of Volvo. Kilometer reading on the car.
Motor was "done"? What does that mean? Used motor installed? If you mean that you were told it...

General comment: if someone has a car up for sale and it has a starting issue, run don't walk away.
No one keeps a car up for sale with an easily fixable starting issue. It's either something they...
bumping :p
Woo hoo! This is much harder work than one would imagine. [sly]
Apparently we are a shy group, when it comes to polls (I should have figured this from the results for the poll on owner...
From the point of view of economics, barring a major disaster (motor or tranny failure) you will always be better to stick with the XC and continue to maintain it. The "frictional costs" alone (sales...
229 for 17.... :rolleyes:
Hmmm... 150 views but only 14 responses.
Fascinating, Jim... fascinating.... ;)
I think this will be useful info, given that I find many of the members here are very knowledgable about their vehicles and have (based on my experience on other lists) excellent DIY skills.

I sincerely hope the problem is solved, but I have been around cars in general, and Volvos in particular, long enough to not celebrate victories of this sort right away. To do so can be inviting...
First point: the poll would be more useful if it broke down the responses by model year. Rright now the poll is showing that a majority of people have NOT had a problem... which isn't lending much...
I would like the group to help me with a list of questions to pose to the dealer, when I drive down to see this... or, put another way, what should I be looking for in the service history (what...
The poll is largely irrelevant as the question is too general in nature.
For example, I have no particular problem if a coil spring breaks at 170k or 200k.
I have a serious problem when I read...
Because typically the flat-rate system that dealers use to charge out jobs (and to pay their mechanics) charges out each part of the job individually. This should be evident if you read the job...
Interesting.... But I am like Wile E. Coyote, confusibus confusibus.
On the electronic modules, I thought that one of the headaches in finding used/rebuilt was that they are year-specific.
Or...
I am also lurking, reading and trying to decide on a purchase.
So I have to ask: And what about all the rest of the stuff I keep tripping over on this list?
Wheel bearings, springs, funky...
