pop-up motor U/S?

Hardly a new problem, really, from previous posts on this forum, but I think one of my headlamp pop-up motors has gone. The hinges had failed and been replaced some time ago but before my recent MOT my garage guy had warned me that the motor was being sluggish. It got though - but now, a month later...

Thanks for this - can't see how I missed it in my earlier search.

I'll have to print it out and find a quiet corner somewhere and give it a go!

Again, many thanks.

I've got to transport a neighbour's 2 year old child - could anyone sell me an appropriate child seat that will fit my M reg 480ES 2.00?

Can anyone recommend a good garage in South West LOndon

My "new" (1994) 480ES needs an annual service soon. I'm not impressed with the cost or quality of main dealer servicing (well, I liked the Rudds operation in Colliers Wood but it's long closed).

[quote="atex61"] The general discussions is for anything 480 related, the Wastegate is for non 480 stuff like jokes, strange happeneings and funny videos.

Yes - but what forum would you suggest? The topic doesn't seem to fit easily into any particular one!

Seeking good garage to service a 480 in SW London

The title says it all. I've just bought a 1994 480ES. It needs a service soon.

I'm not too impressed with Volvo main dealers. Does anyone have any recommendations for a South (better, SW) London garage?

I'm not sure this is the right forum - but none of the others seem to fit!

Just to say that I'm open to ANY offers for this car - the practicalities of insurance and parking in SW4 mean that when my "new" 480 arrives on Thursday poor old F354 TEW goes off to auction or a breakers!
