Hi marlboro,

v rare now on irish roads, saw one last week for the first time in a few years.
pm me if interested.

moslo

Bump... still available if anyone is interested...

Red UK H-reg spotted last week in Carlow town, Dublin Street, first 480 i've seen on Irish roads in a long long time!

1994 Volvo 480 ES 2.0, 83000 miles, steel grey metallic. This was my daily driver for about 4 years until September last year when the NCT (MOT) and tax ran out and i took it off the road with the intention of doing some repair work to the rear arches (rust problems). Unfortunately with increased wo...

pm sent.

UPDATE!

changed the DLR bulbs to the proper offset pin type and hey presto - no more blinking pop-ups!!

As Jim said, it matters!

Thanks GJ, got a few mins today so replaced both DLRs (had to manually raise pop-ups). No change to pop-ups, driver side still going up and down constantly when lights switched on. Tried to bridge the relay but all i manged to do was blow the fuse. As i am not much of a mechanic and even less of an ...

I'm sure many of you have had this happen before, but here's my experience: Christmas morning, driving home, -15deg. Lights on dipped, driver side pop up starts 'winking' up and down. Turned lights off, about an hour later (still driving) both pop ups start 'dancing' up and down (lights are switched...

ok i know mainland europe gets temperatures like this every year... but on the way in to work this morning the temp dropped to -13 in rural carlow which is the lowest i've seen in Ireland. http://i450.photobucket.com/albums/qq221/mmoslo/moto_0136.jpg Apparently '82 was the last time we had a freeze ...

White non colour-coded 480 parked on Lisburn Road with popups up!

The triangular plastic cap of my rear washer nozzle has disappeared - some deviant may have snapped it off. So now i am spraying straight out behind me like a pissing cow (or should that be moose?!) Anyone got a spare one of these lying around? Also i think the time has come to replace my tailgate s...

Nice!

spotted joining M1 and then a bit behind me on westlink, saturday afternoon, think you had a dog in the back?

Could be another one to add to the list, this is on BuyandSell at the moment, it says 440 but its obviously a 480...Bit on the pricey side as well. Anyone know anything about it? Cut and Paste of Ad Volvo 440 es 1993, 2.0i, 3dr hatchback, only 32k genuine miles, 1 owner from new, heated seats, elec...

yeah you can add me to the list - 94 KK Steel Grey ES, Kilkenny / Carlow area. Haven't seen another 480 on irish roads for a long time. Saw a two-tone around Carlow a few times but that was a good while ago, think it was a galway reg. I remember also there was a 95D95 for sale a while ago, cant reme...

Yep that was me!!

Silverish 480

yeah it's a bit dirty at the mo alright!!! supposed to be steel grey metallic!

would be up in belfast a bit but first time i've been spotted up there on here!

Hi mo69 welcome! good to have another irish member on board, especially as David has just sold his 480 - we are few and far between, been ages since i saw another 480 on the road. as you can see i'm not exactly a regular here but i'm sure you'll find this site as helpful as i have over the past whil...

I've just sold my Celeb for 550 euro...I thought that was a good price! Unfortunately I can no longer justify owning a 2litre engined car (in Ireland this is 614 euro a year to tax!) with an excessive thirst while still on a student budget. It breaks my heart to sell it because I really wanted to k...

Looks like this guy has started a trend:

that's the same date as my retest. just picked up h/brake cable from volvo, €28 inc vat. well, i think you have nothing to lose (ok apart from €50 fee) - either you have a car with an expired NCT or you have a car with a failed NCT and a list of what needs done so you know where you stan...
