Volvo 480 Club Europe

Just a quick update. The manual car no449 is now sold to another forum member. I will be stripping a few parts off the auto so it will not be drivable, with this in mind if there is any other forum members wishing to purchase any parts from the car please let me know via the pm section and I will lo...

The manual is needing a exhaust manifold, which I have replaced already but there is said to be a bracket missing so its vibrating to much and caused this one to crack too. Apart from this it a good example. Still drives and was using daily until Christmas when I bought another car. The manual is no...

Hello members I have decided that I am going to sell both my 480 celebrations. Any offers for to buy this one please PM me, if I don't get any offers then I will be putting them both up on Ebay as my manual one is now requiring a replacement part that I can take off this one but would mean the auto ...

A wee quick update. The car has now been checked over to see what would be required for next MOT and raised has the following issues: 1. The brakes are needed serviced (I expected this as it has only done 18 miles since last MOT) 2. The exhaust has a slight blow 3. There is a slight leek on the powe...

If you don't let harriet get it I am looking for one for my other car as I might have a buyer and I pinched it for my manual one. Provided it is not broken.

Just PM details.

I had LED's in my running lights but was the cool white ones and my last MOT they removed them due to being the wrong colour!!! And I've had to replace the standard bulbs twice since then. Makes me want to put my LEDs back in..... as the set I used were in my other car for 2 years and still going st...

Yes Captain, I asked the guys at the Bassaguard garage.

But 480's are special.......

Yes, same for me as I have always used Direct Line. They say if my car was an ES then all would be fine but as I have a Celebration then they will not insure against theft or attempted theft unless I fit a thatcham approved immobilizer/alarm system!! Very strange... :? Even when it's a 17 year old c...

its fine now I think I have finally found the correct part number 3463730-6,


finger crossed this is the right one as it is a total nightmare to get to it.

Hello. Just been doing some tinkering on my switch area and find that the wiring part needs 3 connections on the switch and the switches that have been supplied or I can find have only two!!! Does anyone know the part number for the 'radiator cooling fan thermal switch' this is what the haynes manua...

Hi Spotted you this afternoon entering town at the East side of town. I can't say what model it was but it was reg N620 ??? white in colour. I was quite surprised to see another white one in town as I thought I had the only two white ones in town. Shame you where moving so fast and I was heading the...

Hi

Yes, a UK meet is a great idea.

Will keep checking in to see the arrangements.

Although would prefer the location to be north England as I'm up in Scotland....

I am looking to sell my other Celebration as it is too good to break or be a donor car and thought I would give you guys the chance to buy one of the last celebrations left and yes it's an automatic (which I think there is only 26 or so left. I have owned her since sept 2008 and loved every mile.......

Hi All I am having a problem with my cooling fan too so thought it best to keep on the same thread. My fan is coming on at 75/77deg which is not good as this is the running temp of the engine so is constantly running. Then when I stop the car and leave it the fan continues to run for at least ten mi...

Thanks but I have got one now.

Hi Jim

I am needing an exhaust manifold for my 2.0 celebration.

Do you have one and will it fit my engine?

Thanks

Hello Everyone. I am needing a replacement exhaust manifold for my 2.0 Celebration. Can anyone help me out? I have tried every on-line scrappy I can find and sadly no one has one. I have one in my other celebration but she is in for a paint job then will be selling so I really don't want to pinch th...

I would just love to own this one! But I just spent all my cash on number 449 and very happy with this one. Hope she goes to...

The new one is ending in MAP and it doesn't promote my business on the back window yet! The old one is parked up just off tom morris in a residential car park across from the football park. Will be tweaking it ready to sell :cry: ~I'm often there with both at the same time and get some looks from pe...

Thanks for your help, but I did not have any constant lives when the ignition was off. But when I put both of my 480s together, I seen the problem. My new one was missing a relay! All working fine now :hopping: Although it would appear the alarm system is not working so will need to trace this fault...
