Volvo 340 GL BLUELINE 1.7 up for sale! Classic!

I posted quite a while ago about some problem i was having with my Volvo.

So, basically we would like to get rid of our Volvo 340.

It is a Volvo 340 GL Blueline 1.7.
140,000 miles

As you folks ...

Rear trasnmission shuddering

Hello,

I'm new to this forum so I'd like to say howdy to everyone & say this webpage is smart. I've got a :340: GL 1.7 '88 (Blueline), just to let you know. I've just recently had my car in the garage for over 2 weeks getting a 'few' repairs, but i consider them worthwhile (fingers crossed).

i've ...
