Hi Eric,

I can relate to your situation.

I have a 1987 245 wagon since 2011. I have learned a lot from Brickboard members since then. I have applied things that I learned here to other cars. When you look at it, all cars share very similar mechanical characters. I don't see why not you can't fix a 960.

In my opinion, the 240 model is not easy to work on like changing water pump, heater core, heater core fan, strut & drive belts. It's doable for me because I get a tremendous amount of support here. You will find that newer cars are much easier to work.

But then again, why did they make so hard to change a light bulb on 2006 XC70? There is no room to put your hand. Did Sven's youngest grandson work it? Now, I see you can remove the headlamp assembly altogether on some newer models. :)

Have fun shopping and good luck.
