Thanks! Now it is just waiting for dry weather to fix the leaking quarter-light.

Glad to see that I am not the only one that is fighting against the incoming water (what else would you expect from a Dutch car...). It is dripping on the carpet on exactly the same place as shown in the first pic of this subject. Removed door trim, poured some water on the outside of the quarterlig...

Washing it....

Hi,
Had the rear axile of my 480 replaced today. After that the ABS light on the dashboard was on, and stayed on ... no fault code was found, tried to "reset" the ABS by decoupling the battery for a while, without result...
- what can be the cause? and ... how to fix it?

thanx in advance

My friend Google doesnt know "Q: 1809 + 800 + 1500 = 2 x 1" ... so I need to solve it myself ... which keeps me from working

brilliant

Which temp sensor do you mean? Oil or Engine (coolant)?

previous cry for help was by me, Ernie (forgot to log in ...)

I think you have a problem with the visco coupling. if the noise is similar to the rattling sound my 480 once made then prepare for bad news ... after removing the auto box and the visco coupling it appeared that the teethed wheel (for starter motor) that is attached to it had several radial cracks ...

Maybe the increa...

Tip: Before solving the electrical problems of your car it is better to get it waterproof and dry first.

need to prove a point to my company who are trying to make me give up my 1.7 turbo (o.k....from 1988) for a meek 1.2 renault clio Why? I dont get this, you always have the right to drive your own car. They can not force you to drive a company car (which comes with extra taxation! ("bijtelling" in d...

Welcome! I admire the effort that you put in revitalising this 480 (although I have a different taste ...). What I do like is the front bumper without licenseplate, it looks much better this way! And about the lowering ... dont they have speed bumps in Latvia? (or is that were you lost the side bump...

Is it too short for you?
