Re: Coat hangers
I'd also be interested. Have considered a big bit of heat shrink but never actually done anything about it.

We are all crazy here and if you are a little bit more so there will be no judgement.

Just for numbers counting, I will be +1, as in my application form hopefully.

Re: North East (England) Meet
I’d maybe pop along. I’m from up there so could combine it with a trip up north to see family.

Re: Volvo K 6683 instrument cluster
I'd try asking people who are breaking the whole car. I'm not on the Facebook but there are probably some cars being broken on the UK group. My wife is a member and I am occasionally allowed a look! There is a GT being broken I think. I think someone on this forum put an aftermarket sensor in but ca...

Harmonica in the fuel tank
I started the 480 up today to let it run while I worked on installing a new rear seatbelt so that now my son’s bigger car seat can be installed (thanks Jeff!). The fuel tank must have to let some air in and out and I would imagine that it used to do this silently. Now however it sounds like a harmon...

Re: Heater matrix hose replacement
That wiggly f****r blew up on me too. I got a second hand one but was considering making it up from universal stuff from ASAP Supplies. I guess you have noticed that the ends are different sizes and it originally had a metal heat protection sleeve due to proximity to the exhaust manifold.

Re: Loud whining
Are you sure it wasn't the fuel pump behind you, between the rear seats? They can get a it noisey when very empty. Avoid that if you can as they can overheat and die.

Re: Any suggestions?
Stick it on a classic car policy. You won't get a no-claims build up but my experience is that it is so much cheaper it doesn't matter. I'm with Peter Best. Footman James prior to that but for some reason they got pricey. I'm not a fan of Carole Nash. My policy also allows to drive it to work, which...

I'll likely be booking up and coming with my Dad-- we might have to do a trial fit of his knackered hips in the car first though!

It might not be the motor. Have a search on here for the Brinkie Winkie dance to see if you can revive them

Re: Heated seat wiring
I'd certainly give repair a go. I was lucky with one car and my repair to the thermostat lasted but not on this one, the wire is just too thin and brittle I guess. The break will likely just be on the bottom part and the thermostat can be reached with just the cover opened up, rather than full cover...

Re: Heated seat wiring
Also, it is nigh on guaranteed that the wires on the lower seat pad to the thermostat will be broken. I had mine out last week and attempted a repair, it lasted about two arse cheeks before coming out again. Will be attempting a cheapo eBay retrofit tomorrow as the 480 is doing another week of daily...

Re: Headlamps not parking properly
Didn’t Jeff discover recently that the rear wiper motor is the same as the headlight for motor? Could you bolt it on for troubleshooting purposes? Or did you nicely confirm it by swapping them left to right?
