Default New to me 940

I'm back in the volvo scene with a newly purchased 1991 940 estate off ebay. 2.3 manual, b230fb engine. 173k on the clock (but the speedo is not working!).

plenty of bits to be getting on with

-speedo not working
-lamba light permanently on
-exhaust leak
-unknown when last service was/any work carried out as no paperwork!!
-will only start after priming pump 3/4 times (cycling key and listening to fuel pump)
-headlining falling down

very very little rust, almost none - i was very surprised.

my plan of action is:

-new plugs, leads
-oil & filter
-injectors out and clean/rebuild
-gearbox oil
-diff oil
-intake manifold clean
-flame trap clean
-possibly new fuel pump
-or pressure regulator
im guessing, not got haynes manual yet...

but it does drive alright, not sure how much effort the back brakes are giving... but no nasty noises from anywhere, engine sounds sweet and the exhaust pipe is extremely clean hopefully that confirms no fluid burning and its happy days...
