you may find this post useful.....

I know this isn't what you intended me to take away from that post but, there are different size fuel tanks?!

1) those front shocks look like Sachs ones.... maybe they e been replaced, but that spring cup alone would be reason enough for me to have pulled it all apart! Interesting! Are they considered a decent unit? I am familiar with Sachs from their use in touring cars and the Clio Trophy but don't know ...

If you are feeling flush, there's three brand hub caps for ‎sale on eBay!  X2: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-3464427-Volvo-480-400-2-enjoliveurs-81280-464427-NOS-neuf-NOS-/184143283451?_mwBanner=1&_rdt=1 ‎X1: https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/OEM-3462740-Volvo-480-400-enjoliveur-jante-taurus-77450-462740-NOS...

A random update on various goings-on over the past few months: Replaced the radio fuse: https://imgur.com/6SpQLJf.jpg Pulled out the dash to re-flow the solder on the instruments and changed a few bulbs: https://imgur.com/IX29lJp.jpg Which means parts light up that previously never did: https://imgu...

Get the impression they had a non-payer!

I should be okay to join!

A bit high, but not far off the money in my opinion - should it match up to the pictures and description (especially underneath)! If those Pirelli P6000 are new then that's c.£500+ already. The amount of money and time I have put into my 480 probably totals this amount. For someone that wants a full...

This looks great, I'll be putting my name down for a full set when the time comes!

Interesting thread! I can't keep my '92 Two-tone in London from April next year due to the ULEZ so I was considering swapping the engine to the 1.7 turbo - to create 'my' ultimate 480. That being said, I'm not really in a position to do this apart from sourcing an engine and loom, getting a couple o...

they are dual connector, two spades per horn

Durrrrrr

Knew it! Excellent, but will any 335Hz or 400Hz do? Excuse my ignorance...! It seems these two frequencies do come as a pair (although not dual connector): https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/163719488439?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=163719488439&targetid=595627705353&device...

It seems Scandix has them, but are both horns the same?

One of my horns has rusted to death, whilst the other is sounding fairly meek. Considering my liberal use, it would be nice to have something with a little more oomph. That being said, I like the tone of the original and I've been informed that, when they are working properly, they have decent volum...

Great colour!

Steer into it, power out and enjoy!

The rear wiper arm on the Celebration was pretty much locked solid and the sweep was just as the OP describes - removed wiper arm, cleaned and oiled up, re-acquired the movement and hey presto!

I'll give this a go - thanks!

Hi all, My rear wiper only makes contact with the rear screen for about half the length of the wiper, giving me a very small gap to look out of when the weather is bad. It seems the spring, although it doesn't look it, is lacking strength. Has anyone else had this issue and if so, does anyone know t...

So are you keeping them?

On Demon Tweeks, why is it that the description of all these dampers are "Rear", or maybe I'm being dense. https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/search/shop-by/q/bilstein%20b4/vaa__vehicles_code/59171ce6af48b/ Also Jeff, could you elaborate on springs, I understand you went for Lesjofors, may I ask why? W...

Buy a pair with no cracks and get the sandpaper out!

I'd love to have a go on some really buggered lights, to see whether they can be brought back...
