A question for those that have wrestled with their Volvo for some time. I have a 89, 740Gl that has gotten some form of preventive maintenance each month for about two years (mostly ideas from the Brickboard). The car is driven by a 17 year old and "soon to be driver" 16 year old.

Anyway... I know there are a few regulators/relays I haven't replaced that has given "fits" to other 740 owners and has left them sitting. Some of these are simple repairs. Are any of these soon to go (likely) and leave the kids sitting by the side of the road? I am up to 170,000 mi. on this car and it runs great. Are any of the following ready to fail at this mileage?

1) Radio suppression relay.
2) Fuel pump regulator.
3) Fuel pump relay.
4) Knock sensor
5) RPM sensor

Thanks.
