Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hello all It's been a while since I last posted on here so I just wanted to let anyone that may be interested that there is a 91 ES in Black being broke in a scrappers near me ( Douglas valley Wigan) with plenty of good usable spares including some that I believe are quite hard to get. http://www.eb...

Spotted today (13.03.2013) pulled out behind red N-reg celebration traveling along Kirkhall Lane towards Dangerous corner then off in the Wigan direction

The lenses i got were new and came with new bulb holders, What i'll do is get a couple of new bulbs for them and see how i get on with those Just to clarify that the DRL's are not the same as stop and tail bulbs are they ?

I've just replaced the DRL/indicator lenses for two brand new ones the bulbs both work as they should do, but will check that they are the correct wattage.... bright then slightly dimmer when the lights are switched on, unless there's something ive missed ??? I've never had a problem with them befor...

Thanks for that jim, I'm going to sound quite thick now but what is the DLRS that you mention ???

I am looking for some advice on a little problem i have with my 480. :( A while ago, i was asked to jump start a friends car due to a flat battery; as i got in my 480 Celebration i started it up and put the lights on because it was dark. When i switched the lights on, the lights came up half way and...

Hi all i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the common causes are for the rev counter to stop working one minute it'll be working fine the next it'll just drop to zero if you switch the ignition off then on again it works fine any ideas please anyone ? Thanks in advance

Cheers for that i've managed to get them all working now Cigarette lighter bulb To get to the cigarette light in the ashtry you need to remove the two above storage comartments first, If you look carefully their are 4 clips on each of the storage bins (actually inside the compartment covered with th...

The other day i decided to do a job that i'd been putting off for months i had a bulb out on the left side of my heater control after taking the dash apart and finally replacing the little sod i put the dash back together to find that the one i replaced worked fine but the bulb on the left side whic...

Do you mean replace the motor or the light itself ??

A short while ago i switched on the lights on my celeb they came up half way and blew several fuses in the process, after quite a bit bit of messing about i managed to replace all the fuses that had gone only to find that when i switch them on they both come up but when swithed of only the nearside ...

Are they difficult to replace or would i need expert help ? thanks

I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether a steering rack from a 440 or a 460 would fit my 480 celebration ? Thanks in advance
