Why do Volvo cars constantly have their lights on even during the daytime?
Question
I've always found this to be a little weird and offputting especially if a Volvo is driving behind me!

How do you remove the power steering pump and alternator on a M reg Volvo 440 1.9 TD?
Question
I was driving my Volvo and suddenly the steering went very heavy and the engine cut out. I managed to re-start the car but then the steering went very light and the engine cut out. The engine also squeaks when it is running. My dad narrowed the problem down to the power steering pump or the alternator, but we can't work out how to remove them. I can't afford to take the car to a garage, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Answer
I might recommend a repair manual ( Haynes, Mitchell, or Chilton's) are all good manuals. You can pick one up at your local auto parts store for about $25.00. Any of these manuals will give you step by step instructions on not only how to replace the parts but also how to test them and make sure there bad. This way your not throwing away your money on guesses of what the problem might be. A real must have for the one who likes to do it themselves. Well worth the money. GOOD LUCK!!!
