Hey, wanted to join the forum to do a little research on the ole' 850. I'm no stranger to Volvos after having owned a 1984 240 DL Wagon (she had 420,000 on her when she went) a 1984 240 Turbo Sedan (traded it for a new B20 engine block for my '64) a 2001 S60 2.4t and my current 1964 p1800S. I don't know why but I love these things! Can't get it out of my blood! Psyched to immerse myself in 850 know how with the help of everyone on this site
