Volvo 480 Club Europe

I am thinking about selling my Celebration and wondered if anyone was interested before I advertise on ebay or Autotrader. I am only looking to sell due to my wife and I looking to downsize to one car [our Volvo V70 as we have kids....]. I have posted a couple of pictures here http://s97.photobucket...

Hope it stays that way for you too !

I only had my gearbox sorted out on Friday so it's coincidental that this thread should come to life again! Anyway, good news was that it was simply a loose gear linkage which just needed re-tightening up. I had my local Volvo specialist garage look at it for me as I haven't had time - didn't seem t...

Not posted for a while as my 480 has been running like a dream. BUT, over the last month it has been getting a little tricky to engage fifth gear - at first the gear change seemed a little 'stiff' and I wasn't sure if I was imagining it. The problem, has however, been getting steadily worse and at p...

Hi there

With regard to your oil leak it may be worth checking that all of the bolts used to hold the sump cover on are at the right torque as I think I've read that this can be a potential oil leak area. Be careful not to overtighten them though!

Go on Stu, you know you want another one......

I have the 'pop' but no 'beep' - if 'pop' is for the indicators, what is the 'beep' for?

My Satin White Celebration is now sold courtesy of ebay. Bought by a 480 fan who has spent some time away from them. He is planning to spruce it up and use it as an every day car. Really pleased as I know it's gone to a good home :D - I think he's got a bargain! Will point him in the direction of th...

Just seen your post Stu - a lovely Celebration. 133k isn't high mileage - means its only just run in !

Cooper

Thanks for the good luck wishes Stu/Steve - will see how I get on - hope someone will want to give her a good home!

Stu - fancy adding a Black Turbo to your collection then?

Cooper

Now on ebay!

Hope the sale goes smoothly Ed - still time to pull out of the deal you know - you'll miss your 480 when it's gone (no more greasy hands etc..)!!!Keep in touch with the forum. By the way - how did Vanfest go?

Cooper

Hi All - due to unoverwhelming interest ( ) I am now prepared to drop the price of my Celebration - please pm me if you want to make an offer.

She needs to go as I want my garage back!

Thanks

Cooper

Hi Ed

When & where's Vanfest?

Our camper needs an MOT as it has been sat waiting for my 2 baby daughters to grow up a little - eldest is now 2 so we are hoping to get it back in use soon!

Ed

Sorry to see you having to sell your 480! I have an old VW camper too (Devon Moonraker 1979 Type II)! Good luck

He must be insane when there's a lovely white Celebration for sale for £600 by me

For anyone interested I am reluctantly :cry: selling my 480 Celebration (No. 150) due to getting a new car (480 naturally). I have had her nearly a year and have spent lots of money and time on her but I spotted another one with ridiculously low mileage and whilst I would like to have two 480’s I ...

Well done Ed - you're back on the road - hooray!

Cooper

Hi Ed I have recently undertaken exactly the same repair and so know what you are suffering! My leak was from the pipe as per your leaking one - the retaining nut (metal) corrodes onto the metal insert in the top of the sender and when I tried to remove it the sender unit cracked. I had to get a new...

Hi there and welcome!

I think there are people from all over the world in the club - also think you'll find everyone very helpful if you have any questions.

Let us know more about your 480!
