How many failures DO you get?

I havent seen one fail from a bearing failure yet since they were introduced on the 960 in 1990 to the present day where they carry on in very little modified form ... For obvious reasons volvo use the highest quality bearings .
Thanks ..

Regards rich
I wish I could PM....

Anyway, here's a question people tend not to ask - whats the next job on the list for you to do on the car ? All the cars I've owned have always had a 'next job' to do....

I'm very interested, and would be over to have a look if it wasn't a shade over 200 miles away.......

I could get over there next saturday, with the intention of swapping it for £2500 in folding cash
