Okay, I've sorted the main warning-light issues on the 850, on to more noise-related things.

Up front... I've only just started on a full tune up. The oil was changed right before I got the car, I managed to snap off two of the old sparkplugs, the plug wires are Volvo OEM (probably original to the car) I can also assume the cap and rotor are old as dirt.

The engine idles okay, not great, but okay. Throttle response is delayed. the exhaust sounds really loud while inside the car, but outside you can barely hear it. The suspension is quite squeaky - particularly the rear end.

And the interior has a bit of a coolant smell. A new core's on the list as well...

Seems like I got a real "winner" here, but it's too late to back out now.

It's the loud exhaust/engine noise inside the cabin that I'm attacking next. Any notions on what could be making such a racket under there? it's not metal knocking, more of a weird humm/groan noise. hard to describe.
