Yikes!
just found out that the brake booster in my '93 240, (automatic tranny) is going...one of the gaskets in it is leeking. I need some good recommendations about what replacement I should put in...is it worth going with a good non-volvo part that will cost less or should I go with a volvo part? And who might I buy it from. I've never had to replace one of these and quite frankly I'm surprised that I have to now...my car only has about 144k on it. Does this seem like a standard life span for this part on a 240? Is it a repair that I could do myself...I'm not by any means grease monkey, but have common sense and fit under the hood no problem.

Also my engine mounts are worn, but not broke. Any suggestions for replacements on these...brands? Again is it better to go with volvo on this or are there other worthy manufactures.

Have an oil leak on the timing belt cover seal and oil's on the camshaft too...therefore it's been recommended that the camshaft, seal and timing belt be replaced all in one bang. Any thoughts on this?
thanks,sajane
