Hi and welcome to the forum. Which car do you have the most issues with? I heard the '99 S80 is rough.

you are right the s80 has giving me lots of headaches, however my wife works about 8 miles round trip, and some local shopping like super market, so we use the car for local stuff only, avery now and then it refuses to start, so what we do is after the first couple times, we let rest for about 10, 15 minutes then try again, and it gets going.

If you hear the motor it's likely the antenna mast. They break a lot.
