Volvo 480 Club Europe

Thank you - will go investigate.

Wanted:

My headlight units are rather tatty, anyone thinking about selling? Obviously clear ones would be superb, but would go for a good set of amber ones.

Thanks

James

Wanted:

Drivers side (RHD) rubber trim that fits at the bottom of the door window - the metal in mine is badly corroded and warped.

Thank you,

James

Rear Light Plastics... Had an hour or two free today, so went to polish up the rear light plastics as they are very crazed and dull. They were in a really bad state, but I've had success in the past reviving the plastics by sanding and machine polishing. Unfortunately I couldnt remove them as a prev...

Yet another Info Centre thread, but I managed to fix mine today, so thought I'd post the steps I took to do so, it might then help someone diagnose and possibly repair their own info centre. Because the fault(s) can be a wide variety of things, I decided to make a process to cover the most likely ar...

Someone had also spliced into this broken cable to power up lights in the centre console. Once this cable was repaired, all the instrument lights functioned ...

Fixing the non functioning hazard / emergency switch...

This was simple. It wasn't connected properly! Still cleaned the connections up anyway.

Cabin fan only working on full speed.. Well whilst I had the dash to bits fixing the info centre I paid particular attention to cleaning the switch and connections to the fan control. One of the cables had a crush mark. I cut this little crush out the wire, used a simple small 1 pin connector to lin...

Fixing the Info Centre :nuts: So I had done a little bit of research and all I could really tell was the faulty info centre could be being caused by one or a few of many underlying issues. So I just decided to cover as many areas off as I could and see if I got lucky! Despite the rain, today would b...

My first ownership of a 480! So I thought I'd share my experience. Background: Ive always been bit of a 80s-90s car nerd. I think it stems from loving cars well before I could drive. I remember many years ago during a rather ineffectual lesson in school writing a list of all the cars I'd like to own...
