Did Volvo make the engine? They sold a 240 diesel too, but it was powered by VW. Interesting timing belt trivia. I'm replacing the one in my (gasoline-powered) 240 wagon today. --mf On Nov 5, 2005, at 9:01 AM, Tom Hargrave wrote: Volvo even manufactured a 740 diesel for a while. The engin

My bias is for the 240s of the late 80s and early 90s. They're good, solid cars, parts are plentiful and cheap, and they're relatively easy to work on. --mf

I don't think the government is too concerned with the food supply -- we can all just eat cake, right? What will inevitably bring on regulation is the realization that they're losing motor fuel tax money. On Oct 20, 2005, at 6:03 PM, B Dike wrote: If we think the government wields a heavy han

I drove from central to southwestern Indiana and back today, and diesel prices ranged from $3.09 per gallon* to $3.68 per gallon. I noticed that some stations have taken to advertising the price of the off-road diesel (the stuff the farmers buy that doesn't include road-use tax). *The $3.09 ra
