"I think it's the bleeding of the ABS I don't like. And the early ABS systems aren't great so not much benefit from having it."

What did you find difficult about it. I've only bled a '93 240 once and my '93 940 twice, but had no problems with either one. I'd even say that the ABS 240, having 2 less bleeders made the job a bit easier than on the older ones.

I also found (by using Ate Super Blue) fluid on the bleed-flush jobs, that the ABS modulator fluid volume is relatively small, i.e., a complete bleed-flush (Blue fluid showing at all 4 wheels) took about the same amount as the older non-ABS—less than a liter.

What I like most about my 940 ABS is that it's dead.
