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....

Lol, I'm not going to say mine NEVER breaks down but at least the few times it has it had enough compassion to do it right by my house.

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.
