Faults:

The Water Pump seems to fail about every 150000klm.

The alternator has been replaced twice.

The Clutch failed at 200000kms and again at 460000kms.

The heating fan has failed about 3 times.

General Comments:

It's like driving a tank.

But has never left us on the side of the road.

We recently drove it 29,000kms around Australia and I would not hesitate to repeat this trip in it.

A slow vehicle off the mark, but one my family and I, feel safe in.

Faults:

Usual wear and tear.

Replaced universal joints.

Back brakes twice in a year.

Fuel pump relay blown twice due to rain getting inside the car and dripping into it.

General Comments:

Although it's not the quietest car about, it is without a doubt the most dependable.

It has never let me down!

A little slow off the mark, but once on the freeway, easily outpaces cars of a similar class (Volvos are no snails!).

Built like a tank.

Steering is a little stiff,and taking corners with speed is a little hairy, but if you want a car that will go on forever, with just a little TLC, it's for you.

I've since moved on to a 760, but always will remember the great 244!!
