Hi folks, I've had a look round and there's nothing Renault wise! I was thinking on sticking to a volvo 480 1.7 turbo purely for the wiring and trying to retain the info centre, surely the wiring can't be that much different to the standard 1.7? Regardless I'll make it work, even if it is an arse of...

**WANTED** Volvo 480 Turbo looking for a whole 480 turbo as close as possible to Aberdeen - Scotland, body condition doesn't have to be great, looking for drive-train to swap into my 1991 1.7 N/A mileage not a major issue as intend to do a full rebuild, would prefer whole car as then i can transplan...

Cheers Alan 480, I just fancy doing something different! Haha a turbo swap still tempts me from time to time but I'm just unsure if I want boost, I like a good na car you can give a hoofing, and a 16v just gives you that little bit extra, plus the extra cc is nice, and then I could play with it, I'l...

hi folks, i've got a 91 480 ES 1.7i N/A and i'm looking for a long term project for it... i dont want to turbo it or charge it in anyway so i was thinking just all out N/A ITB's Cam ect, however that got me thinking, i be aswell put a 2.0 480 engine in it, and then i thought why not a 16v conversion...

How there, have you got mudflaps?

Hi DAvid, cheers for the reply! according to the advert they can cope with being lowered by upto 40 mm, thats what i'm on so fingers crossed they should be fine! :) i'll go ahead with getting them i think, i guess if there are issues i can always 'engineer' a solution or return them as faulty goods?...

Hi folks, After reading through ALOT of threads there seem to be really mixed reviews of Bilsteins for the 480, i've got -40mm SPAX springs on at the moment and i'm looking for the next step basically, i had my heart set on the Bilsteins but a fair few post mention poor fitting and knocking? can thi...

Kinda off topic as i don't have pins but... i have a '91 ES S/R what does S/R stand for? can't be sun roof, as its listed as a moon roof with volvo...

Hi Jim, do they come with the spacers?? if so could i use the spacers on some other 4x100 wheels?

Ok thanks! It seems to have gone away anyway! For now...haha

Hi there, how much for the ES aux dials? Are they easy to fit? and how much for them? Also how much for postage to the north east of Scotland and how would you take payment?

If that doesn't work try playing around with the little screw I mentioned, it's the air intake bypass

Hmmm..but it's more like an electronically made noise if.you know what I mean? Not like a worn bearing, it gets louder with the radio on, thanks though!

Hi,

I started my car this after noon to be greeted with a high pitched frequency in a constant tone, it goes.off when I turn my lights on, any ideas?

Hi, my 1.7 ES had a very low and massivly fluctuating idle for a while, get an old school mechanic to take the idle control valve out (its right infront of the inlet manifold) and give it a good clean out and set it up again, if that doesnt work, unplug the small connector, i forget what its for, un...
