Hey There!
Thanks I appreciate it.
Sadly I'm going to be running from England to NI a lot now in between hospital visits but I sure can try!
Very best wishes

Re: NO Headlamp flash with lamps retracted! Help :-)
Hey David! Thank you so much for looking! I took lower cowling off and used contact cleaner but to no avail! There was a tiny flash of the dash light once but that was it. To change it I think I have to remove the steering wheel (?!) as the upper cowling is in the way. I have another 480 coming for ...

Re: NO Headlamp flash with lamps retracted! Help :-)
Hey David Thank you so much for coming back to me so quickly! So you think it's the stalk itself? I thought as the full beam worked it would be okay so appreciate the advice. I would appreciate it indeed, just let me know if you have one. Funny the MOT history is perfect so trust this to happen in m...

Re: Very Very clean one on C&C, 21k miles
Hey Edie
I bought it! Missed out on the grey Turbo so I'll keep this one and fix up my old Turbo... At least both are red!
Just arranging for it to be transported down south and I'll post more once I have it.
Cheers

Just noticed this on Ebay! £5k!! I asked if they had made a mistake i.e. £500.

Really nice to be back on the forum after so many years but I wonder... Is there any club members in the South of England, Sussex, Kent etc? Hoping to get either another 480 or get mine up and running so would be cool to one day one catch up with other 480 fans if there are any? Never see any down h...
