Volvo 480 Club Europe

Down in langholm here - but happy to take a drive north of Glasgow.

Yupe- I'd be interested in getting the ol' 480 onto the euro roads.

Dragon - I know it not really Yorkshire but there was a good ferry into europort from (h)ULL!? - must be all of 50 miles from your roadend!

stuart there was a black 480 in the breakers in Gala last week, I'll be there on Tuesday I'll check the price for you , you want both sides?

As the night are now drawing in and the Rugby's finished ! anyone north of the border interested in meeting up for a pub night or a Sunday drive out?

After nearly 3 weeks as a 480 driver - I've never used the radio and guess what it doesn't work! :x No big deal really but using two 'U' clips to take it out to have a look it seams well stuck in the dash. :kill: Do I need to be a bit more brutal or could I remove 'arf the dash with the radio. :angr...

I thought it would be a simple thing to pick up from the local franchised dealer. No luck - nothing listed. has anyone got / or even bought a decent dog guard for the 480? I know halfords do a cheap tatty one - but previous exerience says they don't last. I am going to have to get one fabricated? An...

- if nothing shows up a quick e-mail to the prog. asking where we could get a copy of the programme might do the trick ! BBC libary is legendary

- don't mind dropping them a note if nothing shows up

Hello from Scotland Trudi - you're in great company with these gentlemen.

When it comes to 480's they have an unrivaled collective knowledge -


It has saved me a fortune at the garage - I personally think they should write a 'owning a 480 ' book.

the perfect xmas gift?

Its now 7 days since my new 480 arrived, and something strange has happened. Drive to and from work has been such fun. :D As I was driving home last night i was trying to think how I come make the 35 mile drive home longer ! The drive home is a fairly direct route down the A7 -but it just doesn't se...

I recently paid £750 for a 60,000 mile '91 ES model in Carlisle. They also had a 100K red ES with no history for a lot less £££. .... and a white K reg turbo with a 100K on the clock - hes looking to get rid if some one is looking . . the price is £1499 but i'm sure you'd get it for a lot less ...

NOTHING is impossible - too true FOX!!

(except maybe putting toothpaste back in tube) and having enough spare bulbs for 480 [/quote]

3 days with the new car and driving home tonight needing lights.

Are these lights sexy or what !

Corrrrr..... the best 700 quid I've ever spent!

How you lose it ?

you mean the license or wife?

note of caution -when admiring car in refelection of shop windows remember to watch for traffic lights changing back to green!

One word of advise put in as much mileage as possible within the next few months. Thus 99.9 of all 'hidden' defects will surface and you can use your warrantee to get them fixed thanks good tip - I do about 80 miles a day to University and back so any little problems should have chance to surface. ...

Sounds good, Sunday at Tesco's :D - now thats original, just joking. Unfortunately I'm on ikea taxi duty on Sunday! At least now we can't come home with a car load of furniture ! The last car was a cherokee which could swollow a large wardrobe and still get the back door closed. Is there some award ...

I've spent the past few days absorbing your collective experience of this great car- to gem up on the model in preparation for doing battle with the poor unsuspecting dealer. Today, complete with my new knowledge I picked up a clean low milage'92 es for 700 quid complete with 4 mths parts and labour...
