Volvo 480 Club Europe

Dnt know where 2 put this so this is as gud a place as any. I got some guages of fle-bay and they all work fine, light up the full works, but the oil pressure part is measured in bar and not lbs. Is this a imported 1 or jus different 1? the VOLVO blank is on the left where the turbo guage normally g...

Erm.... EBC Black Stuff r surposed 2 b good 4 the pads. Im not 2 sure about the disks tho. It depends on how much money u have 2 spend. U do get what u pay 4. Im running on some Ferodo Target pads, not the best but they r quite good, but dnt know what disks as ive not changed them since i got the ca...

I think it was just the turbo's which have vented disks. Try changing the pads 2 some beter spek ones. Are the disks in good order?

All 400 series should fit. I got some at work if interested.

Did the fluffy steering wheel come as standard?

Looks good. Where abouts do u live? I saw a red E reg at the servives near the A34 on Friday. I was in a Combo van parked near the petrol station. Just wondered if it was u lol.

I agree with VBB. I only use Shell Optimax and you can tell the difference when you have flushed out all the ordinary 95 RON crap. It also makes my car run smoother. How do you reset your ECU and is it worth doing?

Hi Jacek. Mine does the same thing. Their is a metal 'thingy' (proberly a proper name 4 it and what it does but i dont know it lol) that is connected 2 the engine and gearbox. I found the best way 2 see it is 2 jack it up with the engine running and get some1 2 rev it up 2 3,000 RPM and you will be ...

Congrats!! Can u say how much? Looked to be doing well on e-bay.

I was just wondering if any1 has thote of making some aluminium pop-up hinges. Ive just had another lot snap on me 2nite, and i reeeeeeeeeealy cant b arsed with them. :kill:. Some snapped when i first got my 1.7 and took me ages 2 find a decent pair, I didnt know where the main dealer was so i was l...

It could b an earth, i think. Mine was doing it a while ago, so JT checked my earths and fixed a few and it works every time now (touch wood). I tink the 1 on the top of the engine is the best 1 for going.

Hi all, I was just wondering how easy it is 2 install an alarm in2 a 480. 440's have them as standard and ive seen a few 480's with them aswell. Is the wiring already their or do u have 2 get some1 who knows wat their doing 2 install 1?

Loki.

Merry xmas 2 u all!!

Hi, Id personally get another rear caliper. The calipers do tend to go. I had 2 replace 1 of mine on the 1.7. Will have some at work if u interested in a second hand 1 but urs may b repairable. Ill PM u with my mob no.

Loki

I will have when i take the wheel off. . Do u want it posting or picking up? Postage will proberly be silly 4 what it is. I may be visiting some relatives who live in Durham over xmas, so if your not in a rush 4 it i could bring it 2 u?

Saw a white (altho rather dirty) 480 tonight. Took some catching up2 when he hit the motorway (even with my driving!!!!), so, eventually, i pulled up alongside and did a nice 'hey ive got 1 of those' waves and he just ignored me. Looked straight at me and my passenger and didnt wave bak :( . Just wo...
