cranks will not start
 

Well it had to happen eventually. Recently purchased my beautiful extremely clean 1998 V70 and enjoyed flawless driving until this morning. "Cranks will not start". With 189,000 miles I am not naive and I new it would happen. While I have a great Volvo mechanic that I trust I intend to understand what makes this car tick and perform any maintenance and repairs that can be done by a novice. Any feedback and or advice is appreciated. Or should I just call a tow truck??? Thanks in advance. Love this car
