Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!
I do indeed love this little beast and it seems to get a lot of attention! Sat on the doorstop this afternoon while the car was on the road as I was cutting the hedge a large group of people walked past and the one shouted out "WOW! Look at that little Volvo! And look at that one on the drive!" Anot...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!
Thank you, I'm so happy with the way the car looks now but....... I'm really struggling to fight the urge to put the car for sale. Yes, less than a month ago I was all for the idea of lowering it and continuing to make it minty but know I'm thinking I should just put the money to the side, sell the ...

Re: Squeeky rear end at low speed turning.
In this case it was a crackle sort of noise really. It was the drop links, changed them for the MOT and the noise went.
They're cheap and easy to change Lee so get too it

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!
Well, this little car nearly met it's maker last week. Went round a corner (sensibly ;) ) on a country road and there was a bloody lorry driving towards me just to go around a little twig, at least I know the brakes work! Bloody hell!! Also, the exhaust has started to blow (it's only 2 years old!), ...

Re: Info Centre - Yeah you know what I'm going too say :P
Ok, thanks guys
Up until now I've been wondering why these cars have such a bad rep for electrical problems, now I know!
I only ever have about £20 of fuel in at one time so a faulty fuel gauge just will not do!
It was almost perfect today however

Info Centre - Yeah you know what I'm going too say :P
So, for the first time in over 2 years of ownership it's started playing silly buggers! Turned the car on Wednesday to find the display wasn't displaying anything at all but then later it just came back on all of a sudden! The next day, fine, later everything was illuminated then back to normal but ...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!
Well I got the wheels off eBay, always searching for 4x100 alloys ;) I think Oscam actually made the Vegas for Volvo so they basically are the same but without Volvo on the centre caps :D This happened today... http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/95%20480%20Celebration/80000Miles.jp...

Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!
Still no sign of my new wheels :(, the guy's told me they're dispatched but hasn't said when and nor is there any sign of them! Still, got a new camera for myself the other week. Here are some pics from today, the first of the car :) http://i722.photobucket.com/albums/ww227/AcidicDavey/95%20480%20Ce...

Re: Wanted: Volvo 480 cup holder frontal armrest
No worries... I got one about 1.5 years ago for £67 so don't be too downhearted! The condition will put most people off I imagine.
