Re: Gumball Rally car wanted.
Thanks for the advice but it's a 480 we want. Not looking at ragging it so no need for speed/power. It's the Gumball rally!!!

Wanted: Rear bumper and a drivers seat.
Having had a few dramas with parts that I had I now need a black rubber style bumper (ie really old off an early ES, non colour coded). I also need a drivers seat, the trim with the red piping. Any one help me out with those please??

Re: 480 GT 1994 Front sub-frame wanted
Got a complete subframe in my front garden. If you can be bothered to collect it you can have it. It's off a 92 car but not rusty or rotten.

Re: seat mounting torque bit?
Rich if you damage any of the bolts don't worry. Pop round for a nice cup of tea and a replacement! If you find that anything is too far gone to put back let me know and I can help you with everything except a carpet (I just threw one out too!!)

Gumball Rally car wanted.
My mate has decided he wants to do this next year/year after. I've assured him that the 480 is the best car for the job. I think a manual two litre ES will be fine so I'm gonna start thinking about getting one. There will be plenty coming up on ebay but if any member knows of one going extra cheap t...

Re: 480 paris edition - now with pictures
Is that one of those nodding dog things that old people have in their back shelves? I've never seen one outside the car before. Bigger than I thought!!

Re: Fuel line size?
Car is now sorted. The fuel line is 6mm (thanks for the piece you sent me Jim). I got 5 metres of braided and some clips (£14.10 the lot) and my mate came round to help (well mainly do it as he's a mechanic!) Got the car up and changed the fuel filter. No joy though. The fuel line turned out to be ...

Re: Do you have air con and want to turn it off ?
I was gonna say that! I replaced the switch for a non ac one off a different 480. Only thing is does it make any difference to the long term function of the ac if it's off all the time?

Re: Tripometer and Odometer stopped working
Mine has just started failing intermittently. Are we talking teeth out of the back of the gauge? I know the 440/460 run on a cable so is different to the 480 (ie the cable goes into the back of the gauge on 440/460) I don't want to replace the gauge as I wast to display the genuine miles. Anyone got...

Yeah. I need to replace the whole line from tank to injectors. I think it's 5mm but I do like to make sure of these things!

Re: Glove Box
Looking at the glovebox as if it's in position the pin can be gently pushed into place from the INSIDE (ie right hand side of the left hinge, left hand side of the right hinge) Don't be tempted to glue it in position. They stay put for years but gradually work loose then fall out. Just push it back ...

Fuel line size?
I need to replace the fuel line on one of my cars. It's done quite well for a 1988 car! Anyone tell me what gauge I need to get for this? I'm thinking it's 5mm but before I go charging off to Europarts? I'm just after a second opinion. Cheers all.

For sale: 1721cc engine and gearbox.
Having just scrapped one of the launch cars chassis' today I am left with its complete engine and gearbox. The exhaust manifold
is there too. It's ready to go to a good home. It's a B18E by the way. Any sensible offer will secure it.
