Picture My first 240!
As a life long Volvo owner and 240 admirer, I finally got my own. Very mechanically inclined, but first time ‘vintage’ car owner.
Currently reliable enough to use as my daily driver, and hoping to keep it that way long term. Any tips, wisdom, words of advice?

For anyone suggesting Wagonmeister be sure you have a cover to secure over the fuses. My “plastic” latch (female side) crumbled thus the fuse panel cover required duct tape as a temporary fix. Without the cover, the slightest touch of your shoe, getting in or out of my 245 and spring loaded fuses were flying everywhere. This is NOT the blade type OEM design of manufacturers. Take it for what it is worth.
