My favorite Volvo wagon, the 87 240 (I have 2, a 93 945T and an 87 240 with 300K on the clock) is suffering the indignities of an inoperable speedo and odo. Don't know how fast or far I'm going. Kind of nice in a way. But it messes up my service intervals and I'd like to see how far I can drive this car. I checked the sensor at the rear end. There is a signal, so I suspect the culprit is mechanical, within the cluster itself. I hate to gamble with a used unit from a pick and pull yard. Besides, I want to keep the old odo going to see how many miles I can accumulate before the rust eats the rocker panels. However, I don't know anyone who could (or would want to) repair the instrument cluster from an aging 240. Anybody out there had their speedo fixed...successfully?
