Default Good ol' reliable

The wife's Volvo's alternator went bad and you need a special tool to remove the belt so until it can be replaced the Disco has moved upto #1 car duty.
And of course she starts each and everytime, gives us no hassle and plows through the snow like it was water.
I really really love my truck, I really do.

So you have not owned this Volvo long enough to have done belt changes? And don't let the Disco hear that it wasn't numero uno to begin with - something might break....

No Buzz we have not. The belt was new when we bought it just over 2 years ago.
We drive it less than 10k a year.
This car is a huge POS and we cant wait until it is gone.
