Just got my second 850 GLT estate - the first one cost me £200, and lasted almost 2 years before the head gasket failed for the second time in a year - went to the scrapyard for £50!

My 'new' one has 215,600 miles on the clock, but runs like a dream. Lots of electrical interior niggles, but most of them fixed now. (Hate dash switches that don't light up, don't you?)

Got to trace the wiring to each speaker before I can fit my CD/Radio though as someone has completely butchered the wiring harness! Good job the nights are lighter at the moment, may take some time!

Neil.

**All done now, sounds great! Just the blower motor and resistor pack to do now!**
