Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi everyone! Here's my lovely little 480, Poppy! My main love is my V70 (Which you can read about on http://www.volvoforums.org.uk Just find me!) I bought the 480 in March 2011 off ebay while I was having a 'break' from the V70. Low mileage, fantastic condition and local! I couldn't resist! My car i...

Hi guys! It's been a while since I've posted on here since I've got my car in my garage for the winter and the lack of money for insurance means I can't drive it anyway! Now seems like a perfect time to redo my rear lights as they let a bit of water in and they've faded a bit, but not too much. Here...

I recently got my dirty hands on some Dash Auxiliary gauges, here they are below. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/95%20480%20Celebration/NewDials001.jpg The problem is that the dials have 6 pins but the wire only has 4 slots! How should it be connected? I've currently got the pl...

OK, that's fine then.
Good Luck!! I know you've been after one for a while!

I love Wheeler Dealers!
I think the 480 would make a great episode but they tend to do more expensive cars these days. The only time they did sub £1000 cars was in their 1st series!

I had a look at postage to Latvia would be around £46-50 so if your happy to pay that then yeah feel free to bid!

I need a driver side headlight and pod as I've broken the small black support brackets by the bonnet edge by leaning on the car!

I don't suppose you have an auxiliary belt cover plus bolts that's fitted near the alternator?
Mine's missing a bolt and therefore has a big slit in it from the pulley turning!

Cheers,
Dave

You have a PM Rachel

Just thought, the cover for the auxiliary belt that is near the alternator is missing a bolt so is therefore had a cut made in it because of the pulley rubbing on it!
So how about the cover plus the 2 bolts?

Come to think of it, there's a lot of scuttle shake caused by wheel spin or on the overrun in 2nd so your probably right about engine mounts or something!
Your getting to good at this Jim!!

Right ok. I have 'regular' access to a ramp at college but they've got a bloody suzuki Buggy project in bits at the moment on it. I haven't had a look under my car for the 8 weeks I've owned her! Very annoying!

Yet another thread made by me to try and resolve yet another problem! Reverse can sometimes be very had to engage on my Manual Celeb'! It got so bad today I had to make about 3 attempts to get her into reverse. You can be super gentle and you still get a crunch! It's very frustrating!! All other gea...

You've got yet another!

I have now changed the leads, cap and rotor arm. The cap was in dire need of changing, the centre pin was stuck in place. The screeching has gone but she's still hunting when she's cold. The plugs looked fine, no soot or dampness etc. So why the hunting? I cleaned the throttle body out for good meas...

What is the stud pattern on the 480?
I ask this as I'm tempted to change my wheels but after a quick forum search I can't find a result!

Yh the Hausser wheel comes with a boss but do I need to do have a fiddle with the column I wonder?

Ok

I've thought about this now over the last week and I think I want to do it, so what bits am I going to need??

Nobody got one available then?
