Many thanks for that info, I will take a look.    

Hi, I am thinking of buying a two and three seater leather suite. In the UK they are very cheap to come by, Argos, etc etc, I just wondered if it was worth buying it here and taking over or if any of you out there know anywhere in France to buy similar furniture. I am near Confolens in between Poitiers and Limoges.  Many thanks

It is an L reg Volvo 940 SE Wentworth.  yes it is ok in first (its auto)  but then if you get any faster it cuts out and the steering wheel locks.  I have taken it to local garage but they nothing about Volvo's help.................

Hi, I have a house in france and have a Volvo estate down there to drive.  I am pretty useless with cars and have found that there seems tobe something wrong with the gearbox.  I took it to the garage and they just havent got a clue how to look at it or what is wrong with it.  It is a lovely car and great condition it just doesnt seem to want to get out of 1st gear (it is automatic), has anyone any ideas of where I can take it or if you know anyone that can look at it without it costing a fortune.  My friend said if the gearbox has gone it would not be worth fixing, but I cannot find this out..............HELP.  I suppose if I cant fix it then I can just sell it for scrap if anyone is intersted, I'm at a loss, please can anyone help.  I will be in france from 31 March until 15th April and I am in availles limouzine which is near confolens.
