Volvo 480 Club Europe

Some lucky bugger just got my red label turbo ECU for £10.50 + P&P on e-bay.

That'll teach me to not set a reserve......

Yeah don't bother, just cut as much of the old ones off as poss, and route the new ones securely where you can get to them

I got my parents 240 sideways quite a bit.....

in the UK if you have a normal sized wheel it must be road legal on MOT day. The spare wheel is NOT part of the MOT test. yes, if there is no spare wheel, it cannot fail, HOWEVER if there is a spare wheel with poor tread, it WILL fail! (My MOT man told me that! :lol: ) Well he is wrong. Otherwise i...

I made a grand breaking my 480.... mind you it did have leather, unfaded clusters, and a palm beach, which helped.

And I still have the engine and box, big breaks and a few other parts....

That would solve the problem for the first fw months, what I'm planning to do now is get some FIA approved spreader plates and relocat the rear buckles back to the rear of the seat cushion.

other than that do what glasgowjim said and just drive it!

Link to full thread please!

I am planning to weld or bolt Isofix (easyfix) (Quickfix) brackets to the car, so any aproved childseat will fit in. more pictures about isofix: here here here Did you ever get around to doing this? With our first due in May, we've just come from mothercare where they would not pass ANY of the seat...

Why do I find myself looking at this in a slightly wistful way?

Blimey that was some time ago....

ferrets...

I had got it down to 2 hours out, 2 hours in....obviously doing anything to it or the replacement would be on top of that.

I might be a bit out of practice now mind.

The next time you do it you'll be a lot quicker.

You could modify the flywheel sensor to advance the ignition a touch.
