Hydraulics chattering

[Renze]

Well, in a previous post, i said that i needed a Volvo to do the rough jobs, through the field, the bumpy sand roads around, and with big trailers.

I have had a 600 Euro transmission from a wreckyard because mine had 4 holes in it, bearing balls shot through the sidewall of the transmission. That wreckyard tranny wasn't good either, and was making noises right after the one month warranty period ended... Then i had it overhauled, another 916.30 Euro...

I want to change for a Skoda felicia pickup, pickups have commercial license plates and are 15% of the road tax of my Volvo. I can buy one for 4700 Euro that did only 100.000 km, built in 1998. Compare that to the Volkswagen Caddy !! They are cheap but have the same, strong transmission.. I suppose i will miss that turbo....

Anyway the Volvo is unbeatable, climbing over 6 meter high hills in the forest, with friends...
That 5 cm of extra ground clearance is doing the trick.

Hi tom,

Sorry to hear about your troubles, however stick with it as i have taxi driving friends who have almost 200000 mls on theirs and no problems so perhaps you had a friday afternoon car.

Renze,

That volvo of yours sounds a complete beast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
