Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hmm, that is odd.

I have two options. There's an F-reg at Lake's which I was hoping to get when I next go by. If not Sylvia knows someone breaking a car but it's not quite available yet. 

I am chassis number 507274‎

Thanks for the info mate‎

That's a great picture. I've sent it in to them.


I don't known if they'd be willing to do the others... I can ask though!

That's an interesting coincidence! Well, if you are going to get a quote for the whole lot then I'd be interested in a set. They asked that the size of the spiggots that the h‎oses come off are measured and labelled with masking tape on each end.  If you look at the price list for other cars, I thin...

Our Dutch friends are a bit more pro-active with this sort of thing. I wonder if they've overcome the radiator hose supply problem some other way?‎

I lie.. it's not a one-off, it's a two-off. I got them down to doing top and bottom radiator hoses!‎

Do you mind saying how much they were going to charge? As part of my referb I was thinking of replacing some of the older looking hoses so it would give me an idea if my thinking is feasible or not. I thought it was very reasonable. They were looking in the region of £150 or a bit more for a "set"....

I've just had this very problem last week!  Classic Silicone Hoses can make you one if you send it off. I had made arrangements but managed to fix mine.  They don't normally deal with cars with our age but have made an exception as the lady likes 480's. If you'd like to take the hose off, I can make...

Good idea Jaster. I have 185/60R14 tyres on my Pollux rims on both cars. ‎ ‎ ‎ Goodyear Eco Contact Premium‎  I'm have four Goodyear Eco Contact Premium‎ on the E-reg car. It was previously running cheap nasties on the rear which had age hardened but I thought I'd try and stretch them until MOT time...

The company doing the calliper refurbishment say they should have some if I can give the dimensions. I'm not with the car so can anyone tell me the thread and length please?‎

Very good placement and looks very contrasty on a white car!‎

Carrier please

Wanted: new rear calliper bolts

I've managed to easily find front calliper bolts. The rear's are actually the only ones that got a bit rounded off upon removal. Does anyone know where I can buy four new ones from?‎

Any further input on this Elf oil from anyone? I'd rather not buy the now suspiciously spec'd Volvo oil for £60!‎

Thanks for the link. 

Was hoping for a cheaper more local one. However, if I don't get one then your German suggestion will be great. Thanks!‎

Thanks!

They have had to change their servers. The solution is to go back through your posts and edit ".org" to ".cc" within the img code‎. I did this today for two threads I had used it on. Eventually those links will break.  The problem is that there is no such thing as a free lunch and whoever they had t...

Aaaaaah! It makes more sense now! Thank you!

Wanted: rear wiper trim, small section

Thank you

Wanted: pictures of auxiliary water pump installation The auxiliary water pump is secured with string in the engine bay and my other B18E doesn't have it for me to do a bit of comparative maintenance. I think the bracket is there (although bent) and the hole on the suspension turret. I'd just like s...
