Volvo 480 Club Europe

That looks great, I bet you're so happy to get it home.

Yes, the money certainly flies out but you're chipping away at that neverending to-do list (however much it costs) and that's a positive point....at least that's what I keep telling myself as my bank account drains!

Secured, will go nicely with my 6th form attire and freshly painted Wedge

Thanks for alerting me!

Haha, excellent! That's your outfit sorted for every meet from now until the apocalypse....which might not necessarily be that far away at this point!

This is great, quick, someone buy it!

Hope everyone has an acceptable christmas after all of this! I plan on taking the 480 around Lincoln, and anywhere else I can think of, on Christmas day to try and get some pictures of him near the cathedral etc. Will post if I do. As long as it's not massively heavy rain that is! The good news last...

It says they do do the cavities on the full job. There is an option for just under body. I’m definitely not keen on all the other bits not being covered. Perhaps best worth asking for a quote to cover underbody, arches and cavities only.... I think it’s still be the same price though. They’d only no...

So, I've been looking for a decent, professional company for undersealing after last years :cryhard: seen here -----> https://youtu.be/I4vkt74sRpw I always end up back at this one, not only because they are close to me but the service available 'after the fact': £60 yearly check and top up and 50% o...

Ah, I did wonder if this was the case. I don’t remember it doing it before the ABS issue though?! Haha. Thanks guys. Helps me feel an extra 2% better about the car than I did earlier! It was technically under sealed this time last year but... to be honest, there are many bits I expected to be spraye...

I do fear speaking too soon but I've felt that the 480 has seemed slightly more reliable of late! I've had it out about once a week. I don't want to leave it sat, that's when the problems started last year so want to keep him moving. The only nightmare is the mud and wet with the Carcoon :cry: I sti...

Oh awesome.

I hope it's not too much of a difficult job what they said you need to do!

At least they can't get you on that the next time it goes in for MOT!

£2, 289

I'd be all over the shop if I saw another 480 now. Flash, wobble, pop-up, wobble, frantic wave, eyes on all mirrors as it passes!

Not seen another since the early 2000s.

You've probably seen these but as we're 480 owners, £70 seemed a steal for a brand new set of headlights! :lol: 'Christmas gift to self' perhaps? Possibly a faff but maybe worth it? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Genuine-Volvo-440-460-Headlights-93-97-Brand-New-Old-Stock-Read-Description/3331857655...

Hi Edie – The vehicle when complete will be my summer daily... so it will have to earn its keep, doing the commute, April –> October. I don’t mind the rain so much, it's the salt I despise . It will never go head-to-head with a gritter again, that’s for sure! My Golf has done summer commuting for t...

Do you think, after all of this, that you'll ever want to drive it? What if it rains ? :lol: All that perfect work! Amazing updates, as per. Green(er) with envy at each new post! It's nice to see what it's like to spend money on one too. What you get for that extra £300 on this, that or the other. Y...

Like I said last week, these cars are changing hands rapidly of late. Don’t know if we’ve had this one recently or it’s a fresh one.

Corrosion, mileage discrepancy and not really any pictures we’d like to see.

Anyway, release the lions.....

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: That gear stick is a bit....unusual, is it not?! Yeah, that’s a heck of a lot for a faffed about with S, even a low mileage one. No mention of any history? 1.7? Those lights: :sick: Plenty of opportunities for Jeff to chip away and knock the price down to £500 here I bet....

No! It was me...I'm on a Mac and it's wmv file, isn't it. Just watched it on my son's laptop. Thanks for posting. I was at the camping weekend there with my J reg ES. I remember where it was parked but didn't spot via plate with the fantastic early digital days pixels! Loved the fact it was raw and ...

"Access denied"

Is this only viewable to certain people or 'anyone with the link'? It wants me to change Google accounts (to one that has access to the video).

I'd love to watch!...

I second James’ comment. Can’t say I’ve seen a full silver 480 ever. Looks lovely. Good luck if you go ahead. I’m sure it’ll look fantastic if it’s doable.

The arches look like they need catching (unless that's as a result of a previous bad job - hopefully not if mileage is genuine). Could just be that it's either been sat a long time or just come off a private plate, re: no plates. I'd say, with lack of info, that it's likely been sat and needs MOT an...
