About 9 to 10 months ago I totaled out an 05 xc90. I bought a Lincoln LS in its place. That marked the first time in 20 years that I had not owned a Volvo. Since then I have totaled out the Lincoln and bought another just like it. I guess I like it because it reminds me of my 960's, 6 cyl, 2.9 l, free reving, rwd etc. Just so you don't think that Volvo has all those crazy things go wrong I give you the hydraulic operated 2 speed engine cooling fan. Yes, that's right, hydraulic. The Lincoln has Jaguar S type running gear with Lincoln clothing. I guess Lucas decided to get in hydraulic because it is known for it's inopportune failure. Dlr fix, $1500, used car dlr where I got it, $500 to replace with an electric, or $175 if you buy the actuator on ebay and install it yourself. Oh, transmissions, just so you 01-02 5 speed guys don't feel lonely the v8 LS has tranny problems. Multiple transmission failures on one car. Sound familiar? Actually I love the car. It's an NA example, has the HP of my 01 V70 t5 and the mileage of the S90 they've got cheap seats!! I miss my Volvo seats.
