many thanks for putting up with us uk pests for another 12 months, i speak for myself of course
ive done a lot of moaning over the last few months over my beautiful gleaming white estate but now with much help from the brickboard ,i think ive just about got it sorted, cant complain really, paid ****for it, including a 'volvo' towbar,immaculate apart from drivers seat,prices seeem to be very low here ,(bussiness opportunity for someone?) treated it to a good polish system gets plenty of admirers, get well over 30mpg, one of the best turning circles around,would have liked a sunroof ,not that we get much of that in yorkshire, spose you cant have everything,

just one point though, ive noticed a slight growling coming from the bottom end on harsh accelleration ,worse when cold ,reading your posts can be a bit suspect on this model
would you leave well alone or get the spanners out ?(about 150000miles on)
regards
doug

How are the motor and transmission mounts? The drivetrain?

Although Volvo motor mounts are probably technical marvels, they do not last too long. With 150,000 miles, your car is probably in the replacement window.

Often the mounts sag and allow bits to come together, causing noise.
