Re: Welcome Seymour
There was! The sensor read internal temp, whilst the infocentre does outside temp. EVERYONE needs to know that right?? The LCD-type Cassette holder that Jay-Kay-Em is talking about is an external temperature readout, not an internal one. The sensor for it sits in the exact spot the Info-centre one ...

Re: CEM Speaker replacement?
I agree with Mandi - not much to go wrong with the piezo itself, but yet another point on the 480 electronics where dry joints can be an issue. I happen to have a CEM 1 on my bench, I imagine that an L-reg will be a CEM 3, but similar enough layout: https://i.imgur.com/rd4jEPT.jpeg The piezo sounde...

CEM Speaker replacement?
Hi all I think I made a topic on this quite a while back but I'm pretty sure the speaker in my CEM is broken. All I hear when I put my indicators on is a faint mechanical click which obviously isn't coming from the CEM. Not only that but the 'beep' that should sound when you hold down the heated rea...

Re: Any information?
Yes! The Volvo museum in Gothenburg.
Has basically every type Volvo ever produced there including lots of prototypes.
I believe there are a few 480s there including one of the convertible protos.

Re: Am I crazy for attempting this?
Not crazy at all - my only issue would be parts availability, but seeing as you have three of them it shouldn’t be an issue! I’m pretty sure the 440/460s were sold in NZ, so a lot of electronics and mechanical components should be fairly(?) easy to find. I personally only know of two 480s in NZ. A v...

Re: Tyre pressure and weight rating plate
Slightly confused as to what you're after, Roy: on a 400 series Volvo the tyre pressure sticker is on the back edge of the door, just below the lock. Weights are on the slam panel plate under the bonnet. They don't have the same stickers as later models had in various places on the B pillar itself....

Re: 400 series tow mirror accessory
aye but does the window wind up ? ?? :wink: I haven't tried, but If they do, I they'd struggle! Not to mention potentially damage the regulator. The mirrors still go on with the windows fully up though. WOW :rofl: Are they meant for an FH480 running STGO and Volvo got their 480's mixed up :lol: The...

400 series tow mirror accessory
Hi all, Picked up a set of new old stock caravan to mirrors for the 400 series a couple months back. It’s an accessory I haven’t come across before, so thought I’d show some pictures of what they look like on a 480! Obviously Volvo designed these to go on a 440/460, hence why they look so silly on a...

Re: what's your favourite in car music?
My music taste is all over the place and clearly a lot different to most people here :lol: . I listen to pretty much every genre of any era. From Greensleeves to Eminem! I’m mainly bound by the technology of my Philips RC348 radio & 6-disc CD changer combo, so can only listen to music that comes on ...

Re: Plastic bootliner on ebay
Console yourself with the fact that it won't fit in the boot with your cd changer in there..... ;) David Well there is that - and I use my CD Changer far too much for me to sacrifice it for a boot tray! Then again, apart from the remaining OS/R mudflap left to find, I have all the Volvo accessories...

Retractable roller cover eBay scam??
Hi everyone, just a heads up on the boot roller cover on eBay - the picture the seller is using in the listing is a photo I took of the roller cover fitted in my car.
Just a heads up as the listing looks quite dodgy.

Re: Lanoguard - anyone used it as rustproofing?
I’ve used Lanoguard for the underside of mine. Easy to spray on and is like a coating of wax. I’ve found that dirt sticks to it easier, but thats obviously only on top of the waxed areas. I trust that it’s a good solution, but I’ve only had it on about a year. Haven’t noticed any rust forming, though.

WANTED: NS/R mudlfap & side pin stripes(?)
Hi all, Recently got a (almost) full set of mudflaps from a chap off of Facebook. Unfortunately I'm missing the Near side rear one and I have a duplicate off-side rear one. Wondering if anyone has one knocking about somewhere? A bit of a shot in the dark this one, but I don't suppose anyone has any ...
