    740 Looking at a 91 740 Turbo tonight with 63K miles. What should I look for?

    Been out of the redblocks for a while since I sold the 240's. Would like to get back in and this looks like a good starting point. What should I be aware of and look for other than the typical oil leaks etc? Also, what is the performance potential here? Here is the car. Any help would be...

    960 1997 S90. Getting code for "large evap leak". What to check?

    I have swapped the fuel cap and it didnt help. I can reset the code but it comes back promptly. TO be sure it wasnt the cap, should I disconnect the battery to reset the ecu? Just curious as to why it comes back so fast. What else should I check? Gary

    No 4th gear. 1993 240 N/A

    Cliff notes 4th gear stopped working. Checked the solenoid, it was crumbled and not working. Noticed when I took it out, the piston was extended. I notched it to try to get by until I found a working unit, but it still doesnt work. I notched it from one hole to the other but the piston is...

    240 starting problem on a 240

    I am having a starting problem on my 93 240. About every other time I try to start it, I turn the key and all I get is a "click" coming from the starter. When this happens I can cycle the key back to off then start and it will start after the first or second key cycle. I first thought it might...

    240 (93 240) new fuel pumps recently and FP fuse still getting hot?

    Within the last 6 months I have replaced both fuel pumps. The car wouldnt start yesterday morning and I pulled the fuse cover to find that the 8 amp fuse (should have been 16 amp) was compressed due to the plastic melting but not blown. I replaced it with the proper 16 amp fuse but it is still...

    Broke and jobless but still cant leave shat alone.

    I decided I wanted to switch up the front of the red 244 a little so I tinted the top of the euro corners and switched to a black grill that I bought new several months ago. I liked the look so much that I decided to change up the daily beater. I tinted the corners orange and swapped in a...
