    Just turned 151,000 in our '92 940TD. And that is miles, not Km, Boris!

    I had my ride in to Getty Automotive the other day for a couple of
    maintenance items, and I took his 88 740 GLE service loaner out for the day.
    575,000 kms, guys...drove perfectly. Nothing at all wrong. I think that is
    kind of amazing. The engine has never been apart for a head gasket or
    anything like that. The B230 is an incredible thing.

    just clicked past 225,000 miles in the 92 940t...no problems yet (that
    weren't caused by driver error)...no rattles, smooth braking drives
    very tight & straight...

    sorry then folks - looks like I've got some reliable motoring and catching
    up to do then ;-))
    Who needs an expensive new car when you've got a lovely old beast like a
    Volvo???

    I've been driving an '86 240 wagon, has 360 K miles behind it. It needs
    a head gasket now, which I hope will be done in about a week. This is
    one good car.
