Starter replacements..... how often??????????? 850

My 96 850 GLT Wagon (non turbo)74K Miles has been having problems starting in the morning.

The battery is in perfect condition, when i turn the key nothing happens!!! The car does not turn over!!! I keep trying and after a couple of tries it will turn over and then start fine anytime after that.

Anyways, I spoke with my Volvo dealer and he told me that he has not seen a lot of starter problems with 850 Volvos.

So here is my questions

1: How many have had their starters replaced and at what miles?

2: What else could this be if it is not a starter (the battery has a full charge)

Any help would be appreciated.

    are you familiar with your PNP switch. the 850 may think it is in gear. try ratcheting your shift lever from park to low and back 25 times to clean your PNP contacts up. my 850 has never had a starter problem. my mileage is 154K. mine did the same thing until i replaced the PNP.

    The starter in my '95 855T died at 138,000. It began as an intermittant problem when I would turn the ignition key.... I could hear the starter spinning (barely audible) but no connection to the flywheel.
