Re: What is the story behind the cruise control option?

I have cruise on mine, the majority was removed from a scrap 460 CD, any components that were missing I bought from volvo at a nice cheap price :cryhard:

Re: Volvo 2020 second record attempt.....

Cheers but I'm sure it's the battery it's lasted 12 years so can't complain. The charger won't put any power into it even when disconnected.

Cheers

Re: Volvo 2020 second record attempt.....

I would be up for meeting up. Trying to think best place to meet to Convoy in, best place I can think is the designer outlet on the a64 as they have a big car park and not far from Elvington.
If she behaves as battery died yesterday :angry:

If you need any LHD parts let me know I still have a load of parts attached to the remains.
Arthuy if you want to sell any LHD parts let me know, as it is hard to get parts for mine being in the UK. Don't let them go to scrap😃

Yes the German celebration came with Taurus, is known as collection instead of celebration though.

Re: Volvo 2020 second record attempt.....

Sounds good I would be up for that. Only thing I would say is meet up a bit further away as last year could see people but it was chaos and couldn't get parked near anyone else, as there was just to many volvos :D.

Re: Guinness world record attempt......

Was a good day, was good to see so many 480's out not seen any for years. Was a shame couldn't get them all together but the whole area was chaos.
Hopefully get to the next meet :D

Re: After 9 years and 10 months...

Good to see your back Murf, few old school members still about. I've had 480s for the last 20 years now, current one 15 years. With a bit of perseverance you can find most parts but takes time.

323 Storm grey paint

Evening I was wondering if any body can help me.
I have a storm grey 480 paint code 323, I have been told Dark pearl metallic is the same colour code 427 does anyone know if this correct as it is easier to get code 427. It does look very similar.
Thanks

Re: 2017 meet ups?

A meet sounds good, getting withdrawal symptoms not been to a meet for a few years now and never see any 480s over in this area.
A show would be good as well as very few people know what they are.
