My maroon 480GT manual which I've owened for about 14 years- second owner. It's for sale for parts or a project having failed the MOT last year. I was planning on sorting it myself but other things have got in the way. It has only done just about 110K miles and runs very sweetly. Original radio cass...

Guys sadly it is time for me to move on to a larger car and so my Volvo 480GT needs to go. It has been a great car for me and very reliable and the engine and gearbox are excellent, but without some welding etc it will not get through the MOT. Also needs a replacement brake pipe and a couple of ball...

Dear Chris
So sorry to hear about your MOT failure...what a bummer. Crazy that you are not allowed to salvage parts before scrapping a vehical. That does not make enviromental sense to me. Hope you can find a solution.

Good luck

Richard

Taking the door trim off is the only and easiest way to remove the door mirror. You cannot realistically open a door mirror and re-assemble it later. They are designed in such a way it is impossible without causing damage to nasty little plastic notches that break off during the process. Read all a...

I've just bought a replacement door mirror for my GT and want to avoid having to open the door trim to fit it. My existing damaged door mirror works fine except that the plastic farings and the actual mirror need to be replaced, but I cannot at the moment see how to remove them from the replacement ...

Dear Jim

All arrived fine. Many thanks. Richard

Absolutely typical the burgundy door mirror in vgc I have spare is the offside one :wall: However I do have a matt black post 92 - the new style mirror in fact it looks as if it is unpainted complete in good condition + the rear window spray "triangle" Thanks Jim. Payment made. Cheers Richard

Guys I'm looking for a near side wing mirror for my 480 GT. The mechanics on mine are fine but the plastic housing and mirror are shot.

Many thanks if you can assist.

Jim many thanks for your assistance. The part that protrudes from the bodywork seems to be fine but the black triangle is missing.

Cheers

Richard

I'm looking for a replacement push on rear screen washer fitting. The part that pushes on from the outside.

Many thanks

Dear Chris

A very happy New year to you and all members. I suspect that the problem with the indicators is most likely to be at the connection to the indicators rather than the relay as the relay is working OK on the indicators on the other side.

I'm near Abergavenny in South Wouth Wales, UK

Dear Chris Full marks for doing all the work you have done on your car and so sorry that you feel that you have to sell her. Thank you so much for the very entertaining reports which I've just seen and read right through! Best wishes to you for your plans for the future and hoping that the car will ...

Have you seen this one on eBay? It's maroon, not grey, but looks good and has low miles. http://bit.ly/18uLVjt Thanks James for your posting. Yes looks superb but I really feel that I want a change of colour as my present one is the same colour<G> If it was grey I would be very interested. I wonder...

I'm coming to the end of my second 480 having enjoyed them for over twenty years. Now I'm looking for a low mileage Celebration in mint condition in dark grey if possible. I'm prepared to pay a very good price for the right one.

Many thanks

Richard
