Michael, The starter does sound like the part that causing your problem, but double check for a bad connection in the wiring. You can also try lightly taping the starter with a hammer. If the starter cranks after taping it, then you have found your problem. I would recommend trying an import shop that works on Volvos or Renaults, they shoulden't have any problem replacing it for you. Its not a hard starter to replace. Hope this helps, Andrew 4194 [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
