Left Hand Rear Light Cluster

I removed this from my 95 480 as I want to get some brand new clusters for my 480, might have to wait to find some lol In good condition but a little bit dull, but really not too bad, better than most out there! Open to offers, preferably UK only but we'll see. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww2...

That's a real shame Jim, you've helped me with a couple of items in the past. It's just a shame paypal can make up their own stupid rules!

Well done Jim,

Re: My Volvo 480 Turbo

What's the story behind that poor 2tone? A very sad sight indeed! Thank you for the nice comments all and AcidicDavey - My uncle works at the yard that it got dropped into, he didn't get there in time to tell them to leave it a lone for me :( so it got picked up by the grabber and put on the pile. ...

I leant on my car just before it's MOT and snap, Oh shit I thought! I sourced some though, and she passed.

Re: Availability of New Parts

I bought some seals from Joep, and the turn around was very quick indeed. Great person to deal with! If he was to reproduce some rear light clusters, he'd have a buyer right here!

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Hey Nick, Saw your post on VOC, you've done quite a good job with those rear lights of yours. I think I might hold out for some brand new ones since I want this car to be perfect as it's not a whole long way off! But I could try and do mine similar to yours, what have I got to lose? You only had 2 b...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Haven't forgotten about her, I had her out in the fresh air the other week. Started first time after a charge, running better than when I put her in :lol: It's the first time I've started her since I put her away in July/August, whenever it was! Proof! http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/Acidic...

Down the road from me in a place called Moccas http://www.google.com/search?q=52.07809 ... utf-8&aq=t there's a very tidy looking black 480 just sat on a shipping container under a black metal barn, I need to find out more about this one!

Re: Last day driving my 480T....for now.

Reading threads like these upset me :( Mine's been off the road since June, I've had the car for just over a year now and I've only driven for the first 3 months. Too tidy to use, too tidy to sell even though I don't know when I'll be able to use it again, I just know I'd regret it if I did. Great l...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Smallish update! The car's coming out of my garage as I checked up on her today and the passenger's carpet is soaked through! It's the heater matrix and it's about time I swapped it out! But anyway I got hold of 2 bargains recently. A Downpipe and a Cover. Less than £60 for the 2! http://i722.photob...

Re: My Volvo 480 Turbo

Are they ATS cups? Very popular with the VAG squad, I've always liked the idea of some on my 480. Easy to get hold of and as I now know, look good on a 480!

Thanks for the post!

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Hey Nick, My lights weren't too bad I know but they had to come out as I said they were leaking (Leak a lot more now I know lol!). To be honest the exhaust is a bit too loud, very barky and free flowing. But they said if you ever decide it's too loud then you can come back and we'll weld in some dif...
