Volvo 480 Club Europe

Thanks I bought one on ebay from a volvo broken for parts for £11 with guide pins. Jim, thank you also for offering your help. I can't drive now without brake, but also fitting the carrier in isn't a hard job. I surly will get in touch if any difficulties appear. I don't have much experience, but wi...

Btw... just to know in future, the carrier i have, is it the bigger one or the smaller...?

Hey Marek, I need left hand side one, but I think that it is universal part (left and right are the same ) also through ebay I found that part in london which would be cheaper and quicker to post, but the seller went quiet since yesterday afternoon...so I may consider your offer. I am a little bit c...

There is no number on the carrier, so I measured the carrier and made pictures... Please see link bellow...(don't know how to post pictures here) http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2888091366266.151522.1379648217&type=1&l=08ec7bb694 hope this will allow to determine is it the smaller or bigger...

Hey Marek,

Sorry for stupid question but is the vin a part number thing...-in college now so will post the number this afternoon.
Thanks for reply.

Do you need all 4?

I need to replace one as is damaged and it is unlikely to sell/buy one. If you are in the same situation (one wheel needed) we can buy a pair and split the cost....

Hey Jim, Your post brings another question up. How to know if my carrier is the bigger one or the smaller? I just found someone who is stripping the car and is willing to sell carrier and the pin, it can be posted to me after PayPal (£11.99 + postage)-but again would have to know the size!!! Regards.

Thanks a lot Zoist!

I need that carrier or holder. It is attached somewhere behind the hub by 2 17mm screws... and it has two bolts with (some rubber) to attach the caliper to it. Please see the link.... http://www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Brake_Caliper_Rebuild_Guide_(Mondeo_Mk2_-_Part_1_of_3) picture no 3 and 4 ...

Hi I need the "thing" that caliper is attached to. To be exact the "thing" has two bolts with bits of rubber and caliper is attached to those bolts (with 13mm screws). And I need that "thing" and one of bolts with rubber. I am located in Glasgow, Scotland. Sorry for not using the professional name o...

Hey Zoist,

the bearing is needed for my 1994 GT, 2.0 petrol, non turbo, manual, B20 F, 588727.
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately it is a front wheel...and the nut is so thigh. I need a proper wrench handle extension. I want to do exactly what you said. Take it apart and than check the bearing part no. But there always problem (like lack of tools to undo tight nut) + I am working on a street so cant leave work at...

Great post Jim Have a question about the AC Pomp and the belt to power the alternator...-but will describe the issue first than will ask... So, there is a belt (long one) that goes from engine and powers the AC and PAS, and then there is one small belt that goes from AC to power the alternator. Now ...

The problem with second car for spares is that I don't have place to keep it, and now to keep a car on a public road it must be insured as well.
Sad to hear another one is going to be sell for spares.

...and by the time i will get wheel like this or pair of other wheels i can take care of other things like leaking sunroof...

Hey Jim I tried to send you PM but it stuck in outbox for no reason. I would like to come over and meet you, but firstly I must get my volvo back on the road. So was asking here on forum for scarp yards in glaasgow area, hoping I can get parts from there. The main problem for now is a damaged wheel ...

Hi everyone.

Don't know the area to well so need info about places I can't get spares to my 480 from. I will appreciate any info about scrap-yards locations where I can dig out some spares I need. Is there any other used car parts source in Glasgow area?

My sunroof is leaking a bit, the rubber sealing doesn't look to good as the rubber is kind of hard and it is cracking. Any suggestions for the quick fix? The sunroof can be tilled up and pulled back it moves above or under the roof.
