Pulling to the left

Full leather interior

Ok, I don't mean to gloat, but of all the 480s I've seen on the forum and the interweb I've not seen one with a full leather interior... apart from my Turbo. I heard that the previous owner paid a fortune to have it fitted, I don't know how true this is but it's in mint condition and makes me feel v...

Rear left light cluster wanted

I know they're gold dust covered rocking horse s**t to get hold of, but does anyone have a rear left light cluster going? Mine is cracked along most of its top edge. Tried every breaking vehicle I can find online but they get snapped up instantly. I don't want to pay Skandix prices. Thanks

Re: Swich of unknown purpose

Mystery solved, thanks very much. Although I kind of liked the element of 'unknown' that came with it. Cheers.

Swich of unknown purpose

Ok, I give up! What is the switch for next to the heated seat buttons? I have a blank on one side and a headlight symbol next to the mystery switch (sorry no pic). I can't work out what it does. Is it for turning off the running lights?

Re: Rear Cluster (o/s/r)for sale- £25 collected

Hello, I've just spotted this post. Do you still have the light cluster? I've been looking for a rear left cluster for a while now. I will collect if it's the only option, but would you post (UK) if I paid extra? Sorry, had to ask. Thank you.

Re: Ticking noise from engine

Hi gsa. Thanks for the reply. I mean I noticed the low rev problem when I was braking and then I pressed the clutch pedal. The revs dropped as you'd expect but then they dropped so low the engine sounds like it is about to stall, but this only happens for half a second or so. I had a play with it la...

Ticking noise from engine

Hi all, I'm new to 480 ownership and am thoroughly enjoying the challenges it throws at me. I've had my G-reg Turbo for 6 months and I've had endless questions to ask the forum but I persevered and found most of the answers in old posts. However, I noticed a ticking sound from the engine when I rev ...

First time 480 adopter

Hello, this is my first post as I have only just purchased a 1989 480 Turbo. It was kind of a "sod it, why not?" purchase but as soon as I drove it home I fell in love and can see myself keeping 'Matilda' for a long time. It's great to see they have such a strong following as I think thye are defini...
