Does a click prove it triggers a proper spark?

I have a very good relationship with Lovering Volvo in Nashua NH.

With 3 female drivers, including my daughter who traveled form Massachusetts to Saskechewan, Edmonton twice, down the west coast, North Carolina, and several other locations for wildlife jobs, we only suffered 2 breakdowns in all those miles.

We have driven over 700K miles in 4-740s, 3-859s and now 2-XC70s and except for wear and tune up parts, this dealer has never had to replace more than one part to fix out cars.

Years ago, I had an antilock problem in our '90 744 TI - every few days, when we hit a bump, the anti-lock brakes failed - it always reset when we started the car again.

The service writer had a tech swap my brake controller with the one in his car! they also worked under the dash and in the trunk - they had the car for several days - they never found the problem and only charged me one hour's labor - I did have to put the interior panels back myself.

As for dogs, I guess good guys finish last! My wildlife daughter and her husband have 2 labs - one is trained to retrieve ducks, and the other is trained to find birds in a field. (he won't sit still enough to hunt ducks)
