Volvo 480 Club Europe

if only it was closer haha

This may have been me! I was down in Glasgow on that weekend! was it morning? I was heading home to Aberdeenshire if it was me, black bumpers with Ronal Turbo wheels H*** YJX

spotted by a friend in the Tesco car park in huntly on 11/04/14! Red 480 ES L*** EVU had a small Scotland flag sticker below rear drivers light cluster. headed off towards Aberdeen apparently, if you're on here owner get in touch, i'm from huntly and have never seen another 480 in the flesh haha!

Ah! I knew it was torque but thought it was an ungodly amount I was getting haha

I have a 1.7ES S/R (can someone tell me what the S/R stands for??) and having recently put a random £15 cone air filter and a different pipe to give direct air feed to it the car now unquestionably sounds absolutely brilliant however gve her a good rag through the gears and in 2nd, 3rd and 4th at ju...

I have 195/r15 rims with 185/55/r15 tyres on them and there is still plenty arch room, as for scuffing on the insides i have no idea, i'd expect it would be fine!

Can't help you with firmness but from memory eurocarparts was selling rear Bilstein b4's at like £40 each??

Forgot to add to the last post; Car's now up to 44000 miles :S i need to try and cut down haha, running great at the moment! had a new Dizzy cap, Rotor arm, HT leads, oil and oil filter change recently, got a new fuel filter to go on at some point too, had a slight mis hap with the hand brake the ot...

Hi there, I'm in Huntly, literally 20 minutes from kieth, who ever both of these cars belong too i assume they are fairly local? if so give me a shout, would be great to meet up some time!

Sorry guys, know this is an ancient topic but, my 480es has a 45mm gap on both rears and 45mm on the front drivers side, however on the passenger side I have 50-55mm the tyres on the car are 185 55 15's on some ronal turbos, any ideas why this one corner is different and if this is standard height? ...

Hello!

North East Scotland for me Aberdeen, huntly

Awesome! Thanks! I put a universal come filter on it today, mesh covered cotton, is it worth it for the noise or will I do any damage?

Should say it seems to have dried up a bit at that corner so maybe it was just a leaking bottle? When I bought the car I got a boot full of original volvo stuff, like 2 bottles of volvo screen wash a bottle of volvo (think it's gearbox) oil and a bottle of volvo conserver car polish! Safe to say I d...

I got the whole underside undersealed as soon as I got her :) just done an oil change and oil filter change along with new HT leads and have a fuel filter new distributor cap and rotor arm ordered for next weeks jobs! Her last recorded service was only 4000 miles ago, but that was in 2006... So we f...

Well, I'm new to the forum having picked up what I concidered to be an absolute steal on a car I have never heard of, she was a trade in to macrae & dick honda dealer in Aberdeen after the same guy had owned her since 1992, with just under 40k on the clock at the time (end of November) and insurance...
