Volvo 480 Club Europe

They’re glued on; which means you either need utter unobtainium new old stock, or very carefully heat and transfer from a scrap car.

Nothing 480 looks like that

Off to study Seymour - he’s go the smaller tank too. The only time he makes a noise is when the fuel level is dangerous low.

Ok, I'd recommend the following: 1. Undo the handbrake adjuster at the central point, so that the cables are completely off. 2. Unbolt the calipers, remove the inner pad. 3. Wind back the calipers - This means you have use pressure on the piston to push, as well as turning the internal adjuster. 4. ...

Wow - absolutely stunning Jeff!! Is there any chance of Seymour making across to Germany and the Netherlands in May?

Not with me driving! Work have already block booked most of may!

New standard bulbs would be perfect. LED’s give very directional light and can’t be dimmed. Plus, as mentioned, the amount of CCS that’s flooding the market means you’ll get a lot of practice pullling your dash out….

Wow. Looks like a nice car now you've fettled it. Top work. Which Lead's do you use for switches, and dashboard Jeff? Honestly, I’ve given up with LED’s now. The problem is trying to source decent ones. Everything seems to be the same CCS (Cheap Chinese Shite), so I’ve actually reverted now back to...

I bloody love your nerdism!!!

Long may it continue!

It’s a pressed fit; I think James has replaced one and it wasn’t straight forward…

I was talking to Samco about building replacement hoses.
They wanted £80 per bend for making the tooling, then you paid the price of the hose, and they retained rights to the tooling..

I suppose for a simple hose like that it may be worth it.

this from Seymour - Slight variation:

Long range lamps aim adjusted

Was thinking about this only this morning.... Is it as tedious as I suspect? there's no access to the adjusters once the lamps are in place I presume?

Drop me a message - £20 a pair, you could even collect as your local (ish!)

Minor Update: Obviously, Seymour wandered off to the Festival of the unexceptional , but apart from the occasional drive into work (where people are genuinely amazed by him), he's not really done anything. However, one thing that was apparent, was he'd need a new back box. And with the Stony Classic...

That's amazing!

I've managed to wiggle the cooler pipe down below edge of bumper and pulled off the hose there, after I emptied the reservoir at the top so minimal leakage (so far) :wink: . how on earth does the supply pipe come out, much wiggling & swearing? :angry: the car is fitted for 'Air-Con' so the pipe is ...

As promised:


Brim the tank, set the gauge to 1 or 2 litres below max fill.
