So pleased the car has had a reprieve, and yes an existing 480ClubEurope member is involved.

Re: 480 GT for spares

Really sorry, but someone has bought the entire car for a project, which means I don't have to break it :hopping:

Re: 480 spares available

Now sadly going for a strip down. If you want any part not listed below, let me know and I'll see if it still works. I don't know about pricing the items, so will be open to sensible offers on each part. Parts are located in East Cornwall, but I travel to Basingstoke on a regular basis, so can deliv...

Re: Volvo 480 2.0l Celebration "Breaking" all parts available

Do you still have the front seat belts popup arms with rollers intact? And is the front windscreen intact? Also looking for front springs/suspension units.
I'm based in Cornwall as well. Is it possible to drop by with a shopping list?
cheers

starter motor spade connection

Just picked up a new starter motor from EuroCarParts (recommended from my number plate). On the new one, there is a spade connection, but on my old one, there doesn't seem to be one. What should be connected to the spade connector? Is it used on a 480 2L?
thanks

fanbelt question for GT

I'm struggling to work out which main fanbelt to get for my 2.00L GT. Unfortunately the old belt was shredded so I cannot get any measurements. On eBay there seems to be two sizes (1547mm and 1560mm). Any ideas?
thanks

sounds good to me. Let me know how much postage is and I'll get a payment to you. Do you use PayPal? PM me the details.

My wife is half Polish and we are hoping to visit Poland this year (hopefully in the 480!!).

Re: CEM 3

Page 9 of this wiring diagram appears to show a schematic of the CEM III (which is indeed the revision on a GT). The indicators are C4 and the window motors are D8 and D9. Obviously it's just a diagram and doesn't reflect the actual board layout, but it should help to get you started. The easiest t...

CEM 3

On a CEM 3 (I think) from a GT, which micro relay is the one for the indicators and electric windows? Anyone know? I have a continuing problem that once the engine gets warm, the indicators and electric windows stop working, then the engine cuts out a short while later!! And takes ages to restart. :...

Re: Windows and Indicators stopped working

Took out CEM and reseated it. All working again. Phew!!

I think I may need to find a replacement just in case.
