So yea,

I was driving my 440 yesterday, i drove to pick up my fiancee', it was fine, i drove back her work, fine, i got to her road and reversed at the top of her road. Suddenly, with no warning, the ABS light comes on, then the car starts to judder, and then judder a bit more. Then as ive pulled up on the path, death. The car dies, i try to do up me windows, it only just does them. The battery in the distance from my home to my fiancee' work is all of about a 5-10 min drive, back to her house is the same and the battery just died. Lost all power, no charge what so ever. So have to go buy a new battery that cost fifty quid!!!!

anyway, anyone know why this might of happened?

and has this ever happened to anyone, not just in a 440, in any volvo or any car...
