Re: Possible sale of Celebration 467
Which washer jets did you go for? This was what I did a few years back, the LR ones look ok but have a longer thread and a small nut to do up. Review of the short landrover screen washer jet. They seemed ok but are too low, when I tried to adjust the jets it either went over the roof or bottom of th...

Re: Snazzy's story
They do look good with or without caps.
Very much like SD1 vitesse or jaguar lattice wheels.
Perhaps a centre cap to cover the hubnut would work well.

Re: Ebay: ES J106 LRL

Re: 1990 Turbo Auto
Looks like a great session.
With the blue beam bulb, I wasn't keen on the bright white effect either. I used a blue permanent marker just to give it a blue tint and dulled it down a fraction.

Good work Jiff,
Epic work around for an obsolete cable.
Were the cobwebs a sign of a dry boot?

Re: Very Very clean one on C&C, 21k miles
There is always a premium for low mileage cars. Are they worth double or triple that of a well loved example? A bit of body work and paint would see the difference in value reduce. But if you want to drive and enjoy a 480 how much of a difference is there between a £1500 car and one at £6500. Buy th...

Re: Blinky 51/480
It has been a long time since my last post. Due to the restrictions and work I haven't been able to get to the car which is stored at a friends. Luckily today I managed to get down and change out the broken rear lamp, thanks to a kind forum member who sold me good second hand one. I was rather surpr...

I second that, be careful of the rubberised underseal as it hides rust well.

Re: Pud the Celebration - previously known as R2...
The wheels look good.
If they were Volvo optional then even better, not as if they are tacky aftermarket wheels.
With 90's Volvo's becoming more rare it is nice to have the option to swap wheels.

No problem, I tend to post the boring bits on my thread as there is always someone else going to have the same problems. I cant remember how I found it in the end. Might even have bought a couple of similar caliper bolts. I think I had to cut some down and extend the thread die. one roll of pipe mig...

Did you make your own seals or are they available for a reasonable fee?
