Hi all.
First of all, sorry for the long introduction and help request.
I just bought an euro '82 245 GL D6 Diesel (actually, a sum of parts of different Volvos, but more on that later) with 406k kms on the clocks.
I had had a S70 a few years back, but family growth obliged to buy a mini van. Before that, my father had a 245, so I was bitten by the bug again :)

This 245 in particular has had a very rough life: it was a RHD UK car, converted to LHD (?), engine replaced once, BW55 auto trans replaced for a M46, and later for another M46, added air con (with wrong gas), front electric windows, headlights wipers, etc... also a few body panels have been replaced during it's life. I've got a huge list of parts to replace / repair / ..., but there is a short list! :)
I'll ask for some help (engine maintenance) in the appropriate places now :)
