Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi guys

I am keeping well thanks taking every opportunity to sneak a drive of my daughters C30 despite what volvo may tell you its like a 480 on steriods but it doesnt quite hold the road like a lowered 480

nice to hear from you keep safe !

Regards Jim

A few years ago my daughter lost control in torrential rain (saquaplaned at a bend ) crossed the road hit a wall bounced back across road and thumped into the crash barrier and stopped . Car was just about driveable and limped home daughter was fine.
These cars are safe .

last picture on the post above this one , the speedo sensor cable is in the black plastic trunking its a blak wire follow it . Have sent you 2 pms more details in them.

The seal is indeed integral to the rear side windows. It took me less than 30 seconds to remove one but about 4 minutes to replace it. such is life ;) You start at the rear bottom part of window where the broad rubber bit is....... with the rear boot lid up so that you can get access to both inside ...

Be aware that the rear engine mount for a 91 model is diferrent from the later models . The change over year was mid 92. From memory the older version is discontinued and the newer mount wont fit . the metal brackets are different as well not a straingtforward job to swop over metal mount frame and ...

its a foreign body definitely not part of a 480

WOW I wouldnt touch this with a bargepole but that is a personal opinion. You cant compare this with either a rich or robou mod. The last few lines of the advert indicate that to run this you have to invest in some other hardware. If like ADe you are adept at working with engines and high performanc...

That bumper bar IS in very good condition and I should know Have broken more than enough 480's for spare parts in the last 10 years.

DO NOT throw away recondition and replace .

Upgrading performance then the best way to go is get a 480 turbo and upgrade the ecu then the little car will fly + 140mph . Put it this way at those speeds raising the popups will lose you at least 10mph through increased drag . (dont ask me how I know this as I couldnt possibly say ;) ) lower the ...

Anderz I have owned a number of 480 cars and I have changed some brake lines myself and had to get a garage to do others it all depends on how rusted they are. the connection with the various ends was the determining factor. I svenska Jag har ägt ett antal 480 bilar och jag har ändrat några bromsled...

Look up " stone age technology " for info on a starter button . Personally I would just run a wire to the starter motor and see what happens . if nothing then your problem lies in the starter motor. If it starts you have the choice of a starter button or delving deeper into your problem. from an ear...

Merry Christmas everyone

autoglass did all of my busted windscreens so there is no problem with replacements

It is definately the plastic links and for once it is an easy job the links

When Balto refers to the crystal he means the sunroof glass. If your sunroof goes up but not down then it is the plastic connectors that are broken It is easy to access all you need to do is raise the sunroof and you will see a litle steel grub screw (has a space for an allen key on it . NOW contrar...
