Good luck with the 440
I used to have one and put a little info on this thread... http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=71543 I would strongly advise not taking the fuel level into the red sector of the gauge,fuel starvation can happen esp uphill. cheers baz |

If you have a documented cambelt change and it is less than 40000 miles /5 years old you could take a risk,but i would have a look under the cover to check the condition of the belt. cheers baz |
