Volvo 480 Club Europe

Yup! Don't ever expect the roller blind itself to repro'ed though!

Funny you mention wicking.... Have seen this happen on the upper rear boot seal; Water was going under the seal, up the inside of it, over the metal lip and then into the upper headlining seal, then running along a dripping out through the rear plastics. Other places I've seen leakage include the ta...

Yup - just pops out of the side mounts very easily.

Why thank you; it’s certainly a step up from 3d printed PLA eh?

Never thought I'd be writing this..... I've actually sold out of rear seals!

Brinkie has some for European stock, so I'm just getting a requote on some more; Fingers crossed prices of EDPM haven't shot through the roof in the last 5 years.

Few more bits done this weekend. Managed to find a set of rear mudflaps - no fronts, but it's a start! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczM47LuKF3O6RjgA3TJbPsIdP4Q4N-RkIrB6BgypygxlNfI8AaXAYv_A9chfjg8FhhmyWX6SiFQ1mNFUrkQwazj_9te7OLwcocQfWpFBgoZkQFxUqq9rfka8td1Pyt1CkD7YD2N9r87gi1cf-jf4I6u5YA=w...

Random thought; how’s your engine/gearbox mountings?

It’s not fused, deffo not blown? Is it seated ok? Do the rest of the bulbs work (heater panel, seat heater panel, ashtray)

You don’t want know how many sets of ZGR5B I’ve got in stock……

Rear wiper and washer aren’t needed for MOT.
High level brake light is, and the ABS light will fail too.

Dashboard: Speedo: More likely to be the cog, or the connection from the speedo sensor (under the airbox in the engine bay) The infocentre, should be illuminated by a 5w, B10d halogen bulb. Anything else is going be..... troublesome. Just another thought - are the faces of dials flaking? Its a comin...

How far south you coming Tom? I'd love you to finish this, so if you're coming near to MK......

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.

Like most unobtainium, it’s about knowing someone who knows someone…. Although….

As much as I love OEM accessory tat, I ended up removing mine as that cubby is better at storing my phone, rather than 5 of my finest non-existent cassettes!

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

Another day, another job ticked off the list! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczMFOLD1h_q-9N_xJFB27Z2FwZLunMEeU5O910H_7b_OGl6UnWeGPjSJ90HPr4NXH-Q5LBpQ7gP133lGIeHIEMR1vG0pS7xce_gv59rqbpKwHnbtduzkiAe6Xrg81KYVI_3FLySe6J3i3oOgar9e7iRbJQ=w591-h788-s-no?authuser=0 See it?

More Seymour Updates https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczMXLlQ8Edc6ghufRtSLnRcwB_V5zeUWNk5HIeOWlfW2yAfNlTiy_dnF8sylfewtkP6qvL_6mHU7XVdzJIvy4tMLKpcF0Ow-avlkQFryqTJPN9E3RRae8DBs3XZCD2ZauT3QuKOF2W6jecjWZQg1i19KZQ=w1759-h1319-s-no-gm?authuser=0 Yup.... it's one of these: https://lh3.googleusercon...

Always enjoy reading Seymour updates and a cassette holder is a massive thumbs up ! 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! The sens...

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!

After causing controversy with the headlamps, how about some classic unobtainium to try and appease..... https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczNR4BIyDZlGG-6ebS05i1vQ6hvwABSauGGbZa_inJAIdH_Gd_H8EtQNWIlgUPtBrUJMIOhG9gheq2V4m22JAuVa31EbXP8a27gKH2BluqEdccSeNQe1k18Q5PT8CHojSKVpiF0o6ZVFhxpsf5f7fqiZfA...
