Volvo 480 Club Europe

can post pictures and wiring all done in driver footwell if necessary. think it was done by the original lady owner at volvo for safety at night. the rest is all down to how reliable your radio reciever is, you want a keeloq hopping transmission protocol if you want it secure. If someone 'grabs' you...

does your stuff work if you manually throw the relays in the cem. will tell you weather the cem control is faulty or it the hardware.

Until today I believed that the 480 didn't have an intermittent front wipe function. As on my car it is either on or fast. I don't know if it's a fault with the switch on the throttle cable like mentioned in this thread or if its the stalk. The reason I think it might be the stalk is the there are ...

it sent my pacemaker haywire. not wort the trouble. someone joined a couple of relays to my car under the dash and put two buttons on the dash to lock/unlock the car quickly inside.never caused any trouble. activated alarm and everything as normal when key was out of ignition.

Still not getting this to work 100%, recently fell over again final solution might be to run new wires DIRECT into the blue multi plug ie cut into the loom at the grey plug for the sensor and supply an independant 12V and earth Still not getting this to work 100%, recently fell over again final sol...

i have an alternator, nearly new. have you sourced one yet.

surely, you only need to contact the microswith on the back of the drivers door lock barrel to activate the original locking. leave everything in place. just relay that microswitch from the remote control box, momentarily making contact as if the drivers door key is turned.

there is a wire you can clip if you mean turning drl, dash and tail lights off.

anyone interested in a couple of front wings arches for cutting out/repair. they are same shape and can be cut to make repair arches for the rear.

sounds like the caliper is getting siezed/stiff. why its important tp be bothered to change the brake fluid every couple of years, it hydroscopic (means it absorbs water) corrodes the piston bores from inside.

i have a new set of rear suspension bushes btw. for sale

im scrapping my 480, any parts wanted let me know. won't hang about long. . . make an offer.

suspension bushes rear trailing arms and pan hard rod. new in packets.
indicator stalks
long range lights
fog lights



cem III
siemens bendix engine ecu.
good as new alternator

your not thinking of the conversion are you?

yes, that renault 5 in the drive way is unacceptable.

are you going to rename her "exxon valdez"?

could the relay be stuck on, hence no clicking and fuel pump burning from never turning off. not too hard to open a relay box and look whats happening.

check your earth connections to car body. common for them to corrode on old cars, can stop any number of things including alternator starter engine battery charge anything. could be giving the cem a low voltage. if things happened at once, theyre usually connected to a common problem. worth cleaning...

has anyone ever peplaced their front windscreen diy. is there a how too for this. wondering if i can save some insurance excess. i think its riveted in with angle brackets. do they use silicone sealant, or some special expensive stuff.

like spraying pledge on to a mohogany effect writing desk. seriously though, get all the pre preperation flatted down flawlessly, air movement carefully controlled, temperature differential of car and air perfect, equipment primed up and hope for the best because it will turn out anyhow as to a good...

i would slow down but i cant tell if i have. :kill: i was working on that logic but didnt know if the pdf covered automatic parts as well. i found one a couple of cities away but need confidence to drive out i wont come back empty handed. he has the console too so i plan to fit it there and try it o...
