Re: Seatbelt button

They all do that sir.

You could temporarily borrow a rear one if they’re not being used. They’re on my list to reproduce, but some way out yet.

Re: Upgrade from hub to no hub

The whole hub assembly bolts to the axle with 4 bolts. Very simple to swap over.

Was there a choice of cassette holders as I remember one with an LCD for outside temp.... even though the Info Centre has an outside temp (?) - or am I getting confused with something else? :bla: There was!

Re: Welcome Seymour

Phone goes in centre armrest, away from temptation (and 3 penalty points)

Load up those cassettes, there's something rather nostalgic about listening to tapes in the car!

Re: Coat hangers

I looked at making repro’s but it’s the material that’s the problem. It’s a soft rubber.
I’ve some links for someone who did a variety of it, rather than a reproduction. Can dig them out if you want?

Edit: link as promised

If your CEM is kaput, there's a guy who lives in Billingham near me, who can repair them. All he needs to know is which function isn't working and a few days to turn it around.
Ooo PM his details, I could send him one or 50….

Re: Project Volvo 480 Electrical Gremlins Galore

Welcome aboard! What year car is it?

There's only 2 CEM's - The CEM1 and the CEM3.

1's are notorious and very difficult to source.
