Volvo 480 Club Europe

Thanks guru Jim .

It'll be Sunday at the earliest before I can look at this. Hopefully it will be obvious once the cowling is off. I'll report back as soon as I can. Obviously I want a permanent fix rather than hot wiring but at least that'll confirm where the problem lies.

Cheers,
Dave

Hi folks, Drove Dusty home from work today & parked her up on the grass verge. Went out to move her into the garage (yes I have space for a car :D ), turned the key; nothing :cry:. All dash lights ok but no cranking. Thought maybe starter motor (had this before with my Celebration) so tried again. N...

Also these

Thought about them myself but worried sick about trashing the window motors

Regards,
Dave

That's handy, thanks Jim

Not sure if I have any, I'll check at the weekend. If not I know a man up north that might be able to help me out

Cheers,
Dave

Hi guys, Anyone know what bulb holder would fit into the rear wing side reflectors? I've changed the lenses on mine from orange to clear ones & would like to link them into the indicators using silvered bulbs that flash orange. I've already changed the front wing indicators to clear lenses, and the ...

Oops, just took another look and they have them here:

Hi, I think this is the site you've heard of: http://www.estateservices.nl/ It's not the easiest to navigate, unless you are from The Netherlands :wink:. I bought a pair of front clusters from them a month or so ago. Great service! I can't currently see either fronts or rears on the site at the mome...

Hi Martin,

I had mine from here: http://www.estateservices.nl .
Looks like I had the last ones as they're not available now

Hi,

I have a roller blind available but I don't have the mountings I'm afraid. It's in decent condition with good spring tension & I'm not that far away from you in Derbyshire. If you can find the brackets & it's any use to you let me know.

Cheers,
Dave

That's brilliant Jim, thanks . I'll give mine a go. I was a bit worried they would switch off or only come on once the pop-ups were active as they only have 2 connections & not 3. Should save the front plastics from burning eh? Wish I'd tried this before buying the LED's

Thanks timrosser, I did pm Spree but got no response I guess it's a while back since he did the LED's. For now I'm running with the LED's that don't dim. Not due for MOT for a while yet

I was lucky enough to be given some cash at Christmas & decided to buy new front light clusters :D. They came from The Netherlands & had both the indicator & DRL bulb holders fitted, though the DRL's were the European 5w fittings. Anyway, using the original bulb holders I thought I'd try & keep the ...

Same from me

All the very best to all 480 owners

Have a great 2015 ,
Dave

Hi, I might be able to take these of your hands depending on the price .
I've PM'd you.

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks, I'll look forward to fitting them to Dusty. Should look great

Shame your 480less. When I sold my Celeb I really missed it & just had to get another. Once the bug bites......

Cheers,
Dave

Thanks for that

I have PM'd you. Thanks

Cheers,
Dave

Hi,

I'll take them off your hands, they'll look great on mine
Could you PM me with payment details please?

Regards,
Dave

Does it matter which wire goes where to the new sensor (only one chance:)) or

Yes it does. It won't do any harm though. I got it wrong first time. Simply switch off, swap the wires & all will be good

Hi CaptainSnow, To the existing sensor orange wire is now connected. On the same loom but ca.10 cm above I found a yellow one unused/ free ie. with no connector or whatsoever. Could it be the one i' m looking for? My second question: will i loose oil from the engine when changing sensors ( sensor i...

Hi Ben, You have a pm :D Thank you for the offer. Intrigued by your 3d model. In my line of work I have some contacts in this field so I'll copy the file & see if I can get somone interested. I did wonder about making one in aluminium as it would be much stronger. Guess there's the risk of damaging ...
