breaker

I had hoped to have had some interest in parts from this car. I can only assume that all the 480's in Hampshire are in good order and no one needs anything. If it's a small part you want and it's easy to send I'll post stuff to people for postage only. I don't charge for packing. Lots of bits will e...

Your 480 and mine

I've just looked at the pics. I'm breaking a silver 480ES just like yours. I have front end damage on another one so will be using some bits myself. If you want a bumper, lights, wings, rad then maybe we can do a deal. If you need anything else just ask. If you can get to Southampton then come and h...

bumpers

I'm breaking one of my 480's.

If you want the front bumper or any parts from the front of the car then let me know. My front spoiler is intact.

WANTED - The rear wash nozzle.

As seen on the parts list on this forum. Apparently they are £6.50. I need one but no idea who to ask. If you can supply a new one for that price or know where I'd get one then please let me know.

Cheers.

WANTED - genuine Volvo repair manual 1987 onwards

I'm after one of these to complement my Haynes manual. Saw one starting on ebay for £25. Is this a reasonable sum? Seems a bit excessive to me. I emailed the seller and he tells me that's just the starting price!!Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?

Free?

Have you still got the free 480? If so and if I can get it to Southampton with the help of member Esta M then she can have one of my 480's free to take back to the Midlands for her mum.

It's a long shot and a tall order I know. All I can say is that she will go to a loving new home and live on.

misfiring

This happened to me. Took it to VOLVOTECH in Nomansland and the mechanic pulled open a connector, cleaned it, and put it back. No further problems.

This also happened in my old 1.8 440. Though it turned out to be air mass sensor that time.

Got one

Got a 2litre from a 92 ES. 90000 miles. Runs great. I'm in Southampton
though and it'd need taking out of the car, which I'm breaking if I don't get any offers for it.
