Re: For Sale : Door Card Clips
If they are available, do you happen to have the ones that go at the bottom of the door interior? I need 2.

Re: Seat-belt buckle
I will sleep better at night Seat buckle changed last week end. Turns out it was facing the wrong way, basically when the seat-belt was on it was pressing down on the thin plastic bit (the one at a 90 degree angle) thus slowly breaking it. Passenger side was the same so fixed it as well. So that you...

Re: What size wipers do you use?
Hi Jaster
Here is the thing. I bought a pair of those back in May:
BOSCH Super Plus Front Pair (SPOILER) Window/Windscreen Wiper Blades 21"/21"
They fit perfectly.

Re: pop-up lights and other electrical problems
Have to agree -a blown DRL does not, in my experience with 4 UK cars now (1988, 1992, 1995 and now 1994), stop the headlamps popping up. What does affect the headlight is the wrong bulb in the DRL fitting - it has to have the correct pin offset and Volvo is (or was?) the best source to ensure the c...

Re: how to remove the nose cone
I don't have it with me but Haynes does a manual you can find a bit everywhere for a few quids and I assume that it will be described in there. It does cover 440s as well so it is a bit big.

Re: 440 in Cambridge
440 and 460 do appear on a regular basis on Ebay and Auto Trader and it is not rare to find them with very low mileage, auto box and no more than 2 owners from new. They were v often driven by elders and well looked after.

Re: How many left....
Skip is Turbo Auto with Volvo sunroof but it does not appear as such on the V5. I did wonder what S/R stands for but I am not sure it stands for SunRoof. Maybe Super Reliable?

Re: Seat-belt buckle
Thanks for having a good look anyway
Now, the clip thingy, does it have to be the exact same model or are they swappable for one from another model of Volvo or anything?
Mine is broken, definitely broken.

Re: shocks
Yeah I know. Took pics of the front as I was doing the work, no rust anywhere, the disk back plates are dirty but no rust, I can only "assume" that the front will be similar

Re: How many left....
I can get (at a push) why the normal ones can hardly be found, but the GTs and Celebrations?
A Celeb was always my preferred choice. This is The Alamo and we are not the Mexicans, but we just need to hang in there
5 Turbo/Auto on the road..........
