Re: Sealing the rear lights

Re: SRS light and MOT

Have you tried resetting the light with the CEM diagnostic module under the bonnet? After being stuck with the the SRS light for ages, I managed to solder a new wire into the diagnostic tool with a crimp on other end of it. When I checked the memory I got a fault saying the steering wheel module was...

Re: Wanted Replacement front wing, rear wing(?) and driver's

Looks like the door has been resprayed, but not laquered and flatted back, i.e only has base coat. Looks like you need a new cill, or at least the end, Skandix are selling repair panels again. http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/body/sheet-metal/393/ Sorry for the late reply, I've been buried unde...

Wanted Replacement front wing, rear wing(?) and driver's doo

Hi there, Does anyone know the best way to source a front right wing and a front right door? Or does anyone have any idea of price? The car has had a really dodgy repair in its time and the driver's door rubs the wing when opened, and the paint job on the driver's door is like nothing I've ever seen...

Re: Volvo 480 UK Meet - 6/9/15

I'd love to come but sadly my 480 isn't in the best of condition :( aside from the mechanicals, it's had a spray job on the drivers door so bad there is in fact a hand print in the paint :roll: it looks like they've sprayed it and then pushed it shut! :boom:

Re: Climair Wind Deflectors Still Available

The Farad ones are available on eBay, I've seen them on there, the auction is in Italian though and they are shipped direct from Italy. They do look nice though!

I did get some Climair ones recently for my main car, but sadly I wasn't very impressed with them

SRS system fault(?) Plus a couple of dead bulbs...

Hi there, I've had a read through the threads before on this, but one of the main problems with my celebration is the SRS dash light is up. I know the car was standing for 6 years before I bought it and drove it home :shock: and the guy did take off the battery and charge it up and put it back on, s...

My first 480!

Hello there, As a kid, I was always very fond of the Volvo 480, its unusual looks and pop up lights still give me fond memories, wishing one day that I could own my own 480. So, when the change to get one came up a short while ago, I couldn't help myself! £550 got me a '95 Celebration (#089 of 480) ...
