Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi Sylvia, unable to make the Scotland meet sadly, real shame I really enjoyed the Derbyshire meet. At the moment my celeb is dashless and sitting sadly in the garage while I figure out how to undo the multi-pin connectors so I can fit new cog for the odometer that failed at Derwent. For some reason...

Well done on rescuing her David, when we spoke about her on Sat I think you will have a tear in your eye when you say goodbye.As you say she will be looked after and anything is better than the 480 graveyard

He’s absolutely still doing them - I’ve had a set in the last month or so. I usually contact him via Facebook, so if you need me to check with him, drop me a pm with the email address you used to contact him and I can ask him to check. Cheers Jiff , its his email that i need if you have it pls pm m...

Hi all, have tried to pm Joep regarding rear light seals but does not appear to have sent( end of last month). If anyone has his email would much appreciate it. Hope he is still making them!

Just to say I had a great day yesterday at the mini meet. Many thanks to Sylvia and Al for the organization(very smooth) really good to meet everyone and put faces to names. Great to see Nigel and his young family(future 480 owners?). Of course it would not be a wedge if something did not fail, in m...

Wow David you have done a great job with her. When I came over about a month ago I said I thought you had a bit of gem that just needed a polish and looks like I was right, well done see you Saturday

Many thanks James

Hi all, would appreciate members views as I am considering which tyres to get for my celeb. When purchased it had a different tyre on each corner, I have put a Pirelli p400 on the front to match but want to renew all four now.main considerations are handling and road noise, looking to spend £60 to £...

Hi regarding coolant, when i collected the Essex celeb last month as well as changing all oils and fluids i got mechanic to change to a waterless coolant, so far it behaves very well and temp is very consistent. So may be worth considering.

Plan to meet at Tissington and have the whole day and the meal at the Fairway but unable to stay over I'm afraid. Looking forward to meeting everyone and h...

i'm liking the polished rear lenses . . .

literally took him 5 minutes..... He's one of those really annoying people that makes everything look simple!

What did he use ? And how did he get such a result so quickly? People have spent hours for same result. Lookin good

Hi guys, Just seen I've been talked about! I'm the green 2.0 owning guitarist from Leeds. My 480 is currently off the road at my folks over at Market Weighton, so not that far from Easingwold. It needs a few jobs doing before I can get it MOT'd which I'll be working through over the coming weeks. I...

Great meeting you today Norm! The car is definitely a fine example... I hope Jeff's advice helps you get a thread and pictures up and running for the car, and look forward to meeting up with you again soon😊. All the best David Thanks David, good to meet up and see some more wedges, definintley impr...

Hi all, an update on Essex celeb, my recent purchase. The car was trailered up to N Yorks last night and I went to the garage this morning. I am very pleased as it is in even better condition than I thought when I first viewed it. Came complete with original sales docket and brochure and photos of i...

Thanks looking forward to it if all goes well. I know all too well how a 480 can bite your bum when you least expect it!

Hi have every intention of making the May meet if possible. I do not get the car up to N/Yorks till beginning of April hopefully, although everything appears to work ok it has done very little miles in the last few years. So intention is to change cam belt and water pump and all fluids, full service...

Yes hope to have it home first week in April. It is number 154, fantastic to be a 480 owner again!

Yes hope to have it home sometime early April. It is number 154, fantastic to own one again!!

While I was without a 480 in my life (sad). I used to browse the forum to keep up to date with the latest news and finds.I must say you have done a fantastic job with the launch car it is a real credit to you and shows what can be achieved with time and dedication and I guess now a much smaller bank...
