The ignition is one of the weak points in these cars. You can keep it going for a while by wiggling and holding your mouth right, but you're going to have to replace it.

Unfortunately you need...

The price for these shock absorbers is a shock, but don't forget that they are fairly sophisticated self-leveling units that actually support some of the weight of the car using a pressurized chamber...

Hi Nugsta25.

That noise you noticed that seems to come from under the front seats is likely not something to worry about. I noticed it in our 98 XC, and when I asked a Volvo tech who I'd known...

Make sure that you mark the orientation of the shaft before you take it off so that you can put it back...

There a center hanger bearing on these cars. It might have gone and the sound you're hearing is the drive shaft coming to rest as you stop.

I had one go on my old 140, and it thumped around a...

Sounds like some electrical issues happening.

Perhaps the trouble is in your inition switch. Rather than WD-40, there might be an electrical contact cleaner that would work better. It also...

I had a problem with our '98 sunroof starting to drip in the rain and also with wind noise on the highway.

I ended up taking the glass off to find the problem.
