Nice to get a stack of service records. I got that with the 1988 240GL bought in 1998. The more I read the madder I got, the PO paid a LOT to have only the selling dealer do all the work. Top up the trans or PS, just a little ATF, charge $4.00 for a full quart!! It "ran hot" replace entire radiator, $375 part.

What I have in each daily driver is the history book. It has "chapters" for the areas that get worked on. Air conditioning, Alternator, Oil+filter, Other lubrication, Belts, exterior body work, interior work, windshield wipers, whatever. One is titled Miscellaneoue One-time-only work. Ten or 15 chapters.

The service records all have a sheet of what was done that time around. I broke them out so that I have a record of date and mileage of each chapter item. That way I know what needs doing next. Makes quite a different picture compared to reading the invoices.

Happy rolling,
Remember what Julius Caesar said when he got to Sweden: Veni, Vidi, Volvo!!

Regards,

Bob
