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.

Re: Rear lamp Seals / Marker light seals / Headlamp Hinges / knobs / clips / Footwell lamps /Roller Blind

How much for the rear lamp seals. Now, in true "get poor slowly" fashion, both of these products will be being sold at cost price, because, after the expense of having a tool made, the next expense is the material they're pressed from. Which you buy in Rolls - BIG ROLLS, which means that even if I ...

They’re glued on; which means you either need utter unobtainium new old stock, or very carefully heat and transfer from a scrap car.

Re: 480 turbo CC Bello

Ok, I'd recommend the following: 1. Undo the handbrake adjuster at the central point, so that the cables are completely off. 2. Unbolt the calipers, remove the inner pad. 3. Wind back the calipers - This means you have use pressure on the piston to push, as well as turning the internal adjuster. 4. ...

Re: Welcome Seymour

Wow. Looks like a nice car now you've fettled it. Top work. Which Lead's do you use for switches, and dashboard Jeff? Honestly, I’ve given up with LED’s now. The problem is trying to source decent ones. Everything seems to be the same CCS (Cheap Chinese Shite), so I’ve actually reverted now back to...
