Re: Dash switches and rare extras...

Sorry Steve, can't really split the sensor with the adaptor from the gauges but if I end up putting them on eBay I'll list them separately so then you'll get a fighting chance!

;)

Or Jamesy can come to the rescue!

Re: Dash switches and rare extras...

It's not much use Steve without the adaptor unless you've got one??

Re: Convert your 480 to a celebration for a fiver NOW

I would really love the item you describe Jim. But, as I don't have the cash at the moment nor is my paypal working correctly would it be possible for you to give me ALL your bank details so I can make a deposit directly into your account. As a gesture of goodwill I want to deposit £50 for the item ...

Re: The 480 got lots of attention today..

For this very reason I wish I lived somewhere bigger.

It takes less than 10 minutes to loop all around the city ffs. Or, you take it into the countryside to be held up by a tractor and get covered in filth!

Re: rear view mirrors

Yeah Tim, that wouldn't be any trouble.

Once you list your's I'll put something like 'Just spotted another unit on eBay for the passenger side!'

Although, if anyone was to spot mine surely they'd spot yours too?? I guess after the item sells I could also highlight your's too!

Dash switches and rare extras...

As I'm selling my 480 I thought it'd be in my best interests to sell these little bits separately. First we have a Digital Clock/Stop Watch which will fit all 400 series models, direct fit! Fully working including the bulb. Can change from 12 hours to 24, also has a neat feature of a timer. £30 deli...

Re: My 95 480 Celebration For Sale - Poppy!

Thank you Ian. I don't really want to sell the car, I just really really want something different, 205 GTi ;) I will quite honestly be quite tearful when this drives away no matter what price is achieved! Also, this probably is the first car I've owned that I can truly imagine wanting another in the...

My 95 480 Celebration For Sale - Poppy!

1995 Volvo 480 Celebration 2.0 Manual For Sale. This may be an overly lengthy ad so if you're in a hurry then there's a Quick Summary at the bottom of the ad along with loads of pics. With much thought and fussing I've decided to sell my much loved and cherished 480, Poppy. Surely, the real definit...

Re: Poppy the Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Been busy cleaning the car up again, this time ready for the for sale photos. First though, have some pics I took Tuesday evening in the outskirts of Ross-on-Wye. Wanted to get one in the centre of the town but there were too many cars around :(. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/...

Re: Poppy the Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Ok, so yesterday over on the Volvo Owner's Forum fellow member and 480 driver dcw was in my local(ish) area so we thought it'd be rude not to bring the 2 cars together. It's very strange seeing 2 well kept 480s next to each other! It was a pleasure meeting you David and the cars seemed to get along ...

Slightly Damaged 480 Driver's Rear Light Cluster

So I got hold of this rather good rear light cluster recently but sadly it got damaged in the post so I thought I'd offer it here. The actual lens is in very good condition, a bit cloudy but responded well to a coat of Bilt Hamber Cleanser Polish. The problem though is that the far right edge got sm...

Re: Poppy the Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Soo... These will be the last photos I'll be taking before the car goes for sale. Sad I know :(. But I really really want something else now, it's time! It'll go on eBay too so keep an out out, obviously I'll be posting up links etc. http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/95%20480%20Ce...

Re: sticking on a nose cone badge, help with measurements

Ah, no worries!

I knew what you meant by 'stock', but didn't know what you meant by tips for making it look stock, I thought 'Surely you just stick it on!' But you want to paint it properly. Sorry, I can't help there, I just painted mine fully black ;)

Re: sticking on a nose cone badge, help with measurements

From the bottom of the nose cone it's 25mm, From the cluster edge of the cone it's about 36 or 37mm. How do you mean 'tips for making it look stock?' I just use some double sided foam tape off eBay like that linked below... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Double-Sided-Foam-Badge-Tape-6mm-x-10m-/1709586103...
