Re: 480ES boot seal leaking

Sorry just read above and 440 appear to have a extra bit the 480 ones don’t have, might as well stick with the ones I have for the moment

Re: 480ES boot seal leaking

Is the 440 seal different/ better than the 480 seals or would 480 seals in good condition be worth getting, I have a leak but can’t work out where it’s coming in, my lights have been sealed by the previous owners, I’ve made a seal for the Ariel. My latest thought is it’s going in underneath the seal?

We were recommended to fit 440 seals, they have an extra lip not present on the 480 ones. All our 480s have them now, and no more leaks. They are too long, but easy enough to cut down.
Where did you source the 440 seals from?
Thanks

Seat belt buckle

Hi all.
I shut my seat belt buckle in the door and it’s cracked, I’d like to replace it with a 480 one if possible. Has anyone on here got one?
Thanks

Re: My 480 journey begins here

Glad you've sorted the pop-ups - it's amazing how critical the DRLs are! I think you are right with the switch being at fault for the light flash/main beam - I had this on my very first 480 and a new switch (and back in those days - 1993'ish - it was a new switch, from Volvo, ouch!) solved the prob...
