Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi there, I have decided to sell on my 480 partly because of expensive insurance and also I'm looking to get a new car. It's done just over 120,000 miles, since last mot its only done 3000 miles so it should pass no problem this year. It's got 6 months tax and mot til end of this month. Good points:...

Hi all, I am having no luck replacing my door hinge and pin. A few weeks ago the door sank and has bent the front wing because it keeps catching on it :cry: Anyways does anyone have one available that still holds the drivers door up? Or even some advice ton how to fix the hinge i've already got. I w...

Hi bud, any chance you got a drivers door hinge n pin knocking around that still holds the door in the right place? lol

Whoever bought it is a lucky guy/girl, its a stunning example of the 480, done up nicely but not chavvy lol

I'd be up for it if i can get it off work. Leeds aint a huge distance for me as im in nottingham. Dont see many 480s round here but when i do its like seeing santa for the first time as a kid haha

Hi bud whats the state of the drivers door hinges? mine are riding a bit low and creaky atm

Hey everyone, one of my grandads mates gave him a classic car mag to give to me.


I wondered why until i got to the 2nd to last page...


YAY!

I think the car dont look too bad, the gold should be down to the protective strip though. How much did you get that bad boy for?
You oughta get some gold alloys for it

Good news everyone! I've managed to fit the cable i did manage to move the heat shield but it wasn't completly necessary, just made it easier. Thanks for the advice guys!

Weather permitting tomorrow im gonna hopefully finish the job off. I'll try and remove it without messing round with the heat shield but we'll see what happens. If i get stuck then you'l probably see another post from me

Hi guys, i recently got a new OSR handbrake cable so i can get my car underway for mot. Anyways i've followed the Haynes as best i can but im having trouble removing the heat shield, the screws wont give. If i drill or pull them out what size screw would i need to get to replace them? I've been told...

Hey guys and girls, aint been on here in a while due to a lot of problems with moving out (twice :badmood: ) and car trouble. I still have my car even though its no longer on the road, which i am mega gutted about cos i love my 480. Anywho i need help and advice deciding what to do about my car. Cur...

Hey guys, i am begrudgingly selling my volvo 480 after almost three years of owning it. :cryhard: I am going through a bit of financial hardship at the moment so cant afford to insure it this year. The details: 1994 white 480 es/gt 2.0l almost 118,000 miles Bad bits; MOT will be running out end of t...

i 2nd that quote!!
Its not like many other cars on the road so when you see one go past you your like YAY!! inside
Also its got a flight of the navigator look about it.

I think its just gonna be a case of attacking it with wet/dry to loosen the scabby bits then a bit of masking tape, red hammertite and a brush. I'l get round to it eventually but i just dont seem to have much time recently cos of work and weather :( , oh well its surviving :hopping: maybe i should d...

Rachel where did you get the volvo-480-europe sticker?

You can't beat a bit of oldskool rock and rap :hopping: I've found its so much easier to have a playlist than use albums now, just plug, play and turn up :D Atm the music of choice is varied; Linkin park, Avenged sevenfold, Rob Zombie, Metallica, Run DMC, Public enemy, Billy Idol, Quiet riot, Aerosm...

why do european 480s have so many cooler extras than the uk ones? it aint fair!

unfortunately its not chrome...its a mix of rubber peeling and forgetting to cover surrounding area when respraying areas :lol: yeah i mean the bump strips around the car but just the black strip, not the whole thing. i can see what you guys mean in a couple of those pics, i also realised united car...
