Hi all, Just had a look at my CEM and as soon as a battery is connected the long range lights relay immediately comes on hence the lights being on. I have disengaged it witth a screw driver and the lights go out but when i let go it go's back on :angry: This leads me to the conclusion that either my...

Ok.

@murf, How much for the box?
@Adam, How much for the mast?

Hi, I'm after an original Volvo electric ariel. If anyone has one PM me or email me at sue.stewart53@btopenworld.com, Cheers, Rob

Ok cool. I never noticed I was missing a rear washer jet. Good job i'm going to the scrappy tomorrow. I really need to spend a good few hours writing down everything taht is wrong wit my car lol! I thought he seemed shifty when he said that it had never been srviced anywhere in the country! I have e...

Went to the volvo dealer today and asked if he could find out if my car had any service history and he said it had none with any volvo dealers ever!!! :cryhard: So i am hoping that it is a well looked after engine :( It looks and runs real good and has been regularly serviced by the previous owner f...

I dont have one but the scrap yard i'm going to tomorrow (and getting an entire instrument cluster including all the PCB's for £20 for my 89 ES) Has an L reg. I will see if the board PCB is there. If it's not too much i will probably get it. Cheers, Rob

@Richard

Was the rust on the arches? How did you go about stopping this? I have rusty arches and they will probably need to get done for MOT so just wondering really.
Cheers, Rob

P.S how long have you had the turbo?

I was only looking at the pic wit the bumper close and thought it had some sort of bodykit on it. It was the right colour sorta lol

I want a two tone Did volvo ever make any other two tones for the 480 as in other colours?

I was just wondering if there was a natural progression through 480 ownership ? ie you star twith an old beaten up ES, Then move onto the old not so beaten up turbo and then settle down a bit with a 2lt special edition? Just wondering really as i have just bought my wreck of a 480 ES with lots of mi...

@Murf

Just wanted to say that is a gorgeous two tone in your signiture

Well mine is called *[i]enter all known profanities[/i]* lol My long range lights are always on (cant figure out why gonna have to do some serious investigating), I heve just had to order a new instrument panel PCB (cheers one of the previous owners for the scratches across PCB tracks and dodgy pins...

Hi i need the big circuit board the dash lights etc all hook up with. My little board which goes under the cover is fine, i just need the big one which the lights attach to. I have a 1989 ES so any that will fit that. Thankyou, Rob

I have had a look at the car and have gotten so confused by the bloody lights!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: RIGHT!!! This is what is happening...As soon as a battery is connected, the long range headlamps are activated! When I get in the car, and turn the ignition key round the parking lights come on, ...

Cheers for the pic - is very useful as i accidently put 1 relay back in the wrong slot!! lol. Does the relay holder just unscrew so you can see underneath or is it a bit more complicated? Cheers, Rob

It's a 1989 f reg so i believe it has the older mounting. How can i check which mounting is broken? Cheers for the advice, Rob

Yeh i do have front fogs. Dont know whether i have ABS (!) I am gonna ring up volvo and try to find out some info on what my car has and where it was first registered and what servicing has been done at volvo. Does anyone have a photo of the relay box on a pre 92 ES or some sort of description of wh...

Is that an expensive/easy job to do? I have done it on a renault 5 before...but that was a 1.1 engine and i could lift the engine and gearbox up on my own!!! lol! Any help and advice about how to do this would be much appreciated! Cheers Rob
