Volvo 480 Club Europe

Oh right. Seems a bit weird, but I'll take your word for it. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>This is the same car as I looked at a while back, then being sold from a dealer.

Should the oil pressure as indicated on the gauge on a turbo steadily drop down to zero over five minutes of idling? <br><br>Also, should it only go up when the engine is revved? It was kinda working like a rev counter with some lag. Didn't look good to me..... <p></p><i></i>

I do still want another 480, but the Toyota Celica (6th generation one) is trying very hard to tempt me away! I'll probably end up with a micra or something though <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON EN...

I take it that it is no longer for sale then Jed ?<br><br>I can afford it now! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

Hi<br><br>Just thought I would mention that I had a look at and had a test drive in Geds 480 celbration about a month ago.<br><br>I can verify what he says that it has no rust (that I could find) and is a really nice car. <br><br>I haven't bought it myself (yet!) because I am in the process of buyin...

Hi<br><br>I'll have a search round for it then.<br><br>Haven't even looked on here since my last message coz I have been too busy. <p></p><i></i>

It is a diagnostic checker. If you open the lid you will see six holes, but not all of these have contacts in them. To operate it you take the plug that is on a wire attached to the unit and plug it in a socket and then press the button (I think you have to hold it in for a few seconds).<br><br>I fo...

Just to try and resurrect my thread, can anyone tell me how much I should pay for a late model 1.7 turbo? <br><br>I have decided I have to have another 480 coz everyone I know doesn't want me to get one (mainly coz none of them could match my 1.7ES for speed and handling!).<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Hi<br><br>I take you're on about putting a double DIN radio in your car?<br><br>I was looking at putting two single DIN in mine (before I trashed it), a head unit and an MD changer. I had the dash apart so many times I could easily do it with my eyes closed and you'd have to move some things. <br><b...

Mainlanders?! Bah!

Hi Guys<br><br>I'm still looking! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>I have now got my criteria down to:<br><br>- 1992 or later<br>- Manual<br>- Turbo<br><br>There's other things I'd lik...

Thanks for all your replies so far.<br><br>Had a look at that one on adtrader. A few things worry me: White paint + Black leather and "Too big for owner". I particularly like the latter, what do they want? A Smart car?!<br><br>With regard to the cat, I'd rather have a later model car. Oh and I'm an ...

Try Salvo in Nottingham <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.salvogroup.co.uk/">www.salvogroup.co.uk/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> .<br><br>I got a new dash from them about two months before writing off the car <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish...

Hi Guys<br><br>As many of you will already have learned, particularly Neilc, I've had a nasty accident in my 480. It is wrecked.<br><br>I can't face the idea of getting a different car, so it will almost certainly have to be another 480 <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com...

What if your info centre doobrey doesn't have a potentiometer to adjust your fuel settings with? <p></p><i></i>

Hi<br><br>I had exactly the same problem on Tuesday this week. I left work fairly late and when I released the handbrake I found it was very loose. My rear brakes had frozen on! <br><br>The external temp gauge on the car said it was -4 to -5. I thought I would just drive it to warm up the brakes. It...

Cost me about £850 fully comp for my '91 ES last year. That's with tesco. 1 year no claims and I'm 24.<br><br>I had a play around on their site and found that I could have an 850 T5 for not a lot more <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/hap...

You mean the little grey plastic knobs for the heater? You can pull these off and clean them up. You need to use quite a lot of force and try to get your fingers or nails behind them to help lever them off.<br><br>Once you've got them off, you can scrape away the bulk of the crap with a blunt knife ...

I had the same problem. I just leant hard on the one that was sticking up a bit. It appears to have resolved the situation.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

When I got my 480 I naturally phone round for insurance quotes. I found one company (I forget the name) who would not insure anyone on the 480, man or woman, with any amount of no claims who was under the age of 30 <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :o --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/...
