Volvo 480 Club Europe

i am, sorry, no longer a 480 owner, my car was sold today for £150, to a 480 owner who promises me that he will loveingly restore my car. The gentleman in question already has 2 other 480's. So therefore i dont doubt his word. Sorry guys, had to go practical, couldnt afford to do the repairs, and m...

No mucking around here boys and gals. Will accept £7...

thanks murf, i was feeling like my boyfriend had morphed into my dad, the cinqy is mine apparently cos both my boyfriend and my dad have issues with the 480, i love the 480, not the cinqy. They worry about my driving in the 480 (i have 12 years no claims), but the cinqy where i will have to drive in...

My days of trying to keep my 480es on the road have ended. The alternator has gone now, on top of the rear shocks, MOT due next month, which will be a fail. My boyfriend has bought me a fiat cinquecento. I love him for the consideration, as every weekend i travel 250 miles and need a good car, but a...

never received my sticker, so instead had graphics done for my back windscreen only shows my username, witchone, but as i go to about 50 sites per week (paranormal,BHD, messenger, yahoo, icq and volvo480europe) everyweek, on three occasions now people have noticed me. Not bad when i do a 250mile rou...

i have removed the car from sale, have now spent about £300 on her fixing most problems, and getting tax for 6 months, had two serious offers, you boys know who you are. In November she might be up for sale, but with all the work needed done. Many thanks to everyone. Toni Thanks for all the persona...

i have an 88 and i have the front badge on mine

I have had the same problem i couldnt get a stage 1-3 car seat fitted in the back of my car either, luckily enough my youngest is 4 so have had to resort to a bumper seat, but be warned some of this are too wide to fit also, Halfords helped me pick one that fitted nicely. Would advise either pop alo...

yep they are all working, check them every weekend when i do my 250mile round trip, wasnt worried until was told that the car will fail the MOT cause i cant see the petrol gauge

Looking at selling my 480ES, the car is in good working order, needs new rear shocks, has slight rust problem around rear wheel arches and dashboard lights dont work(needs new bulb or fuse). Otherwise in very good condition, has as aware all original features. Drives very well, 250 mile round trip e...

The bulb blown symbol on my dash is illuminated (if you know what i mean, lol i am a woman) now i have no lights on my dash, i cant see my engine temp, petrol gauge etc, the light around ash tray and light on centre console all gone. Is this a job as a novice that i can fix, or should i get a male f...

I have a digital clock/ stopclock in mine, has always been there as far as i know, my 480 is a 89, been told the car might fail its MOT in may, but having had a look at the prices quoted for me parts, if it fails the MOT i might sell the car for spares and repair on here, might make a fortune lol, n...

thank you, will keep in mind, my dad has found a mechanic that could fit them for me, will pm you if i need then, once again thank you.
Toni

thanks stu, i cant fit them cos on my own, wouldnt even attemp it lol, would probably cause more damage. But have noted the fact that they can be got cheaper than £43. thanks mate
Toni

I postedrecently about my lop sided 480, had many suggestions what could be causing it. Have been told today that it is my rear shocks(dampers), have phoned around for quotes £50 labour and £43 per shock is the cheapest i have been quoted. Can anyone advise if this is reasonable, or should i try e...

my clock is 24 hr, or digital. driving 88

I pay £320 for the year third party fire and theft with 7 years protected no claims, as a single mum, yes being on your own does make a difference, being a couple gives you more discount, i was very happy with my insurance, unlimited mileage etc no excess unless windscreen etc, i thought i had a go...

No matter where i go or what i do, the mpg is always 47 and the average speed is always 33, just driven 120miles on M11 and M25 at average speed 33, did the drive in just under 2 hrs, did reset the computer, am i doing it wrong. When i start driving i press the rreset button on dash, that resets the...
