Re: MOT today

That's not bad at all. Simply compare it with the annual redemption on a brand new C30! :D

Chat option on the forum for forum users?

Now that I have the hang for it I was thinking "what else could I do to enhance your 'forum experience'" :lol: I noticed that perhaps a chat function might be a nice extra, but am doubting. Without giving away my thoughts on the (dis)advantages of having a chat option on the forum I was wondering wh...

Re: Welcome back on the 'new' forum!

Maybe we'll begin flushing zero-post-users with suspected spam names - for the moment I doubt they will return from their sleep here since the base URL for the forum no longer is the same. Ergo, they will not try to login on this new URL (I hope). Perhaps some manual spammers, but I think we can dea...

Re: Which is the best all round 480??

You will be wanting a 94 or 95 480 2.0 liter, smooth ride, plenty of torque, best 480 experience there is imo :D

Re: how many 480's are left?

I think you're right. In the VIN there is a digit for the type of safety restraints a 480 is equipped with but here it makes no sense.

Sunroof seems more plausible, even though the electric one was called a moonroof instead ;)

Re: Power steering pump - interchangeability

Well, in the end it turned out there was no problem with the unit... The ANWB had made a false conclusion... After cutting out the old belt the pulley of the power steering pump was rolling perfectly smooth. A new belt and all has worked flawlessly all the way to Luxembourg and back :D

It really was a wonderful event with a total of 21 480 showing up. Even the weather was on our hands when we needed it the most. For pictures simply click here :hopping:

Re: 25 years V480 meeting.

Really looks like a wonderful meeting! Shame I only read about it after the meeting. Even though it was close to the Luxembourg meeting this weekend I might have decided to go for it. Maybe next year :)

Wonderful pictures! 8)

Power steering pump - interchangeability

Ouch, a few days before the Luxembourg meeting the power steering in my 480 decided to die. The pulley is completely stuck so it seems some bearings have blocked... The result was that the belt flew of the pulley but luckily didn't hit the drive belt. So now I am looking for options to get the 480 r...

Re: 2011 Club Europe meeting in Luxembourg!

Wonderful! Great to see you again IRL! :D

Just need to fix my power steering before the weekend and a new belt since my pump has blocked :? On the other hand: rather today than when I'm driving down there! :)

Re: Spammers volume 2

There are still zero-post users registered by spammers in the past which they can put into use to post spam.

But this seems to be on a scale that is manageable by the moderators. Just removed the spammer and the two spamposts by the user you just mentioned. 8)

I believe the 480 Celebration indeed had a Philips unit, don't know if it was also branded Philips or that Volvo ordered a Volvo branded batch.

Re: Are there any members out there who have...

Oeh, have got a nice collection of 480 brochures stored in Ikea boxes, not only 480 but also other series. Mainly eighties and nineties brochures.

Want to document them one day and add them to the thingies I already have online: http://volvo4life.org/ :D
