Hi,

I am currently considering purchasing an '85 Turbo Diesel 740 (5 speed). I already have a Volvo, so I know about a lot of their quirks, but diesel in general is something I don't know that much about.

What is involved in maintaining these, beyond normal Volvo stuff? Will I have a hard time finding parts? Are the oil filters harder to come by? Winter is cold here in Michigan, and I know you used to have to be very careful to warm a diesel up properly before it could be driven. What will I have to do for a diesel motor?

Also, what are common problems with Volvo diesel motors that I should look out for?
