Volvo 480 Club Europe

I had a whining noise coming from mine and luckily the mechanic picked up my car on a flat bed, and when he took the cambelt off the tensionor at the top just fell apart. Therefore, he changed them all and the belt. So i would change them all to be safe. Sham

Did ya replace the tensioners as well?

Ah nice one Chris good to have ya back on board. Make sure you get the pics up soon and of the keyring please, Sham.

My horn is blowing my 20amp fuse, however, when i change the fuse the long range lights still work, is the horn and the longe range lights on the same fuse and relay? Then if so then the horn is gone do people agree? Sham

Not too sure about the look, but each to their own but like the sound, would love to hear it in the flesh. Sham

I did wonder what happened to ya mate, but as i said to ya over the phone, better you were not hurt. Shame the damage was so far along the car, glad your saving the engine and iam sure you'll find a good shell to put it into. Iam sure everyone here will keep there eyes open for ya, Sham.

Ok, i had another rolling road session after the new Lambda sensor and magnicor leads and i got 165.2 bhp and 203lbs of tourque and the main thing is, it is safe becoz the fueling is right. Obviously a bit rich on idle but correct when i floor it. Tbh to go from 120bhp to 165bhp is about 40% increas...

I got family in Leicester, so if iam on the area i will definatly pop in just to see. If it was a turbo, i would be on my way to buy it now with my credit card!!! Shamir

Thanks i'll hunt it down hopefully tomoz or saturday. Shamir

As the title says....Every now and again the engine temperature sensor will give high then low temps and then go back to 'Cold', so just need to know where it is and then i can clean it and clean the connection. Unless anybody has a better ideas. Thanks Shamir

Oh don't say that too loud my brother only got the merc a few weeks ago (by the way that woz him in the video). Glad everyone liked it so far, cheers.

Enjoy!!!

I'll use my sister's digital camera tomoz after i have changed the oil and filter then get it proper warmed up and you can judge for yourself, and i won't feel offended if you don't like it. It aint to everyones taste but i love it and all my mates do so....

Ok, do you want a video of my car, so you know what it sounds like? Sham.

I got mine done for £260 but about 2 years ago, but now it would be alot more becoz of of the metal price increase. However, mine has 2 four inch bores so it would cost more than what you want done, unless you wanna join my noisy club.

And starter motor!

Definatly true Felyx, big praise to Richard all the way. I had mine done and even worse than Johnturbo i had Lambda sensor unconnected (don't ask). Just had a brand new one fitted and running great but at the same time the rolling road guy said i was peaking at 15psi then going to 10psi, which was a...

Do you need to remove the battery to plug it in?

The one i had in the exhaust had it wires cut so i ordered a new one, but the mechanic can't find where to plug it in. Sham.

Has anyone actually had a Richmod or any tuning done and been quoted a figure then had it checked by someone else on a rolling road? Thanks Shamir.
