Volvo 480 Club Europe

Full weekend 480 Fest and we hire the adjacent field for camping?!

Sorry to hear this Dave! I really hope it gets a good home.

I have checked and we can have the hall either or both days. Although it would be nice to have it on the actual day, a Friday, I am presuming that the Saturday would be significantly more sensible for the majority of folk that work weekdays. What do you all think? Martin, my car was registered in Ma...

Yeah, I'll pop down in my MOT and road tax exempt 480! (Actually free tax is the year after as I think it has to turn 40 in the first few months; and I plan to always have an MOT). Maybe the Cambridge met I keep mentioning but never get round to organinsing? I can hire the village hall opposite my h...

Hey Roy. Not a bad idea but to me the wheels, front DRL, lights, L/H pop-up, rear quarter and roof line are wrong.

Drop me a PM with your email and I can send you the Green Book for the Turbo engine which should have all the details in for troubleshooting and hopefully fixing.

There are three connections. One is permanently powered, the other two are both earths that the ECU controls with a varying frequency. I am guessing one side does ‘close’ and the other ‘open’? Nice fix: Maybe you have a broken wire on one of the earth/return wires that the ECU pulses to get the desi...

Gamboge, there is a starting threshold of 10 posts for the ability to post links and pictures. I suspect using PMs may be the same, but this is a guess. Post a three more times and al should be well.

He was such a big character. I did love with Al that he would be such a strong presence in every situation, even to the point of clearly (trying to?) getting himself in trouble for a laugh, saying exactly what was on his mind in front of everyone, without any sort of filter. But then, minutes later,...

Saw these from Japanese buyee.jp seller "c*r*u*e*_*a*t*" https://buyee.jp/item/search/query/volvo%20480/seller/ZGGwfT5HD%2BAJFI6QDrrC4g%3D%3D?translationType=98 Showing the large front repeater indicators https://buyee.jp/item/jdirectitems/auction/f413944346?conversionType=jdirectitems_auction_Direc...

I did wonder if you guys would go. Very pleased to hear you did.

Here is John at the big meeting in Europe last year. Picture taken by my father

Oh no, this is awful news. Thank you for sharing Robert. What a wonderful man: great car and a gentleman. ‎

I'll be coming, with my dad again. Either his car or mine. Just need to get our shit together!

I too have noticed differences over the years. I think the automatic one was slightly different, maybe directing air somewhere else. There may be others too.

There's a reflector for sale on eBay currently https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/146604508848?_skw=volvo+480&itmmeta=01JW3Y51KKSD3EF3RFV0VWVKDK&hash=item22224f46b0:g:lXgAAeSwcTloMtMa&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAAwFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e8kHWqG8D2pJdIfTnVQwa1Xjh440JvajQ8fFOYGVpejApmQmSCbz0T4hsfINjFW5Sv2cd9LDnbS3pREM...

I should have one I can send you Will. Can you send me a pic? I have a few that have burst open and are hanging about the garage.

I still need a driver's side reflector if anyone has one they are willing to sell. Last one departed the car never to be seen again.

Item 10 here


Does anyone have one, no luck with Blace.

Different sensor I'm afraid.

Good solution and probably the only one you were going to get re-using the outer sheath and putting in a new inside. Nice one.
