Re: My 95 480 Celebration For Sale - Poppy!

Great advert and the car looks superb, certainly one of the best I've seen in a long time. Will miss your updates if you sell it, I enjoyed reading them over the months. I hope you are sure you want to sell it though as it will be hard to find as good an example in the future. If selling on eBay I'd...

Re: Clicking sound from boot area when braking?

Theres a small redish/pink box with "lamp control unit" written on it behind the left hand side trim in the boot (near to where the electric aerial is) I'm not sure if this contains switches/relays? perhaps its faulty. It looks like this one on ebay - Item number 251234155002 Does it make the noise ...

Re: I like big butts and I cannot lie...

Great pics, its nice to see some 440 love, it has to be the cleanest 440 i've seen for a very long time. I had the same model on a H Plate as my second car prior to swapping it for a H plate 480. My 440 was a great car quick, comfy and very underated plus it was only group 7 insurance the same engin...

Bypass hatch microswitch

I've got a minor issue with my GT in that sometimes when it is locked up the rear hatch micro switch will trigger and set off the car alarm/horn even though the hatch itself is closed. I was considering seeing if I could modify/remove the micro switch so that the car thinks the hatch is always close...

Re: FOR SALE Volvo 480 turbo auto sr

Hi I think you'd get more interest if it was MOT'd mate, the car I sold last week on eBay only had a mths MOT left when first listed and i had no interest, i got it MOT'd and had 6 calls in 2 days, selling it easily. It does look like a good example and your probably right it probably would pass an ...

Re: White 480 turbos on eBay x 3

I agree about eBay, i sell quite alot on there, last week I sold my gf's KA and its amazing how many time wasters and chancers there are. It wasn't an expensive car around £600 got several offers of £100 which was less than scrap value. I did eventually sell it though so there are still some genuine...

Re: White 480 turbos on eBay x 3

Congrats on the sale, £1000 is a good price, its always sad to see a special car go. I still regret selling my nearly mint Paris Blue Turbo a few years back especially as it was untaxed within a couple of months :cryhard:

Wanted single VESA alloy

Hi all, I'm looking for a VESA alloy for the GT that i bought at the end of last year. Unfortunately both the front wheels had rim damage one really badly, although neither have proved an MOT failure, so far! I know the VESA's are rare but I'd like to keep it original rather than replace all the whe...
