Bob Meadows Premier Member Last Online: Today 12:17 Join Date: Sep 2017 Location: STANDISH LANCASHIRE	Hi Alan:~ The reason I mention it is that the 240 has a top fill plug & a lower drain one. Both are notorious for removal- I'm convinced Volvo locked these in place as they stated no oil change schedules for normal mileage use. The way I removed them had been with heat to breakdown the thread lock and then as you say a long heavy chisel & a lump hammer (the chisel needs to be carefully positioned and at the correct angle) the 240 is difficult for access to the top drain plug because of the tunnel housing- but it can be done- deep breath & one descent hit started the release. Once removed a larger hex nut has been welded onto both plugs- the next owner will love it! Regards Bob.
