Volvo 480 Club Europe

Don't worry, many youths get anxiety thinking about social media. I get it when I look at a wiring diagram

It will probably be either the CEM or a rely that has shat itself somewhere, just a question of which one

When I read the title I thought initially CEM? I know my car seemed possessed when some water got on the circuit board. While it is a different circumstance I would suggest opening it up and checking it just to rule out Otherwise, I would defer to the advice of my fellow Wedgeneers who are actually ...

Spied this one too:

Holy shit, that is an astonishing find Will! Can't believe one of the rarest variants of all time ended up in a market it was never sold in

Thanks James. Don't forget it's the mobile meet on 17th June.

Bugger, I am tied up then with a show with my family
August is still free for me so once it is driving straight I am gonna be trying to get the wedge out as much as I can

I had only just noticed it has the Uber rare unpainted front splitter, must be the only one left surely?

Holy fuckamoly that is some serious work, I honestly am in awe. Reminded me of the fact that in addition to the Left-wing nature of my car at the moment, most of the dash lights are out and I could do with adding to the rust protection. What is the plan with Seymour now?

What an incredible revival Jeff, was so surprised to see this get done and what an amazing job!

I still want to find an example of a silver, 1987 car which should be in Silver Grey Metallic, as opposed to Smoke, but I only know of one possible survivor

I'm thinking if changing the date to June 10th. How does that suit ?

June the 10th I will be at Le Mans provided I can get my passport sorted out

Sorry I can't make this one, I think it is in the middle of my assignments run

She will win the school run hands down with a C6 V6 petrol

Don't really do soft tops myself, but hope this shifts quickly for you

A word in your shell-like pal They may be "your" cars (regardless of how ethically they were acquired) but it is Our shared passion on this forum, and it is plain to see that they are simply not being handled in a way that, as enthusiasts, we would abide. We have a stake and are allowed a view. I ca...

Alas, my favourite of all the rescues is looking absolutely fabulous. I am so glad you have been able to work some magic on this one David, Petrol Blue looking resplendent

I'd be down to make it, my schedule currently is exams finish end of May, off to Le Mans for 10th June, then a short gap between then and going to Denmark for the month of July. August is looking free, and I think I have a gap in April I can do. Can't promise it will be a 480, but currently it has b...

Gumtree is a weird place. Tried to inquire about a Toyota Celica ST165 for sale on there a few weeks back. Up for 10k, but I wasn't going to pay that for a car that hadn't driven in 10 years. Seller ignored my question asking about the condition of the turbo inlet hose and what sort of coolant it is...

Intriguing 🤨

Hi Adam, congratulations on your test! I passed my test just over two years ago (in the 480 no less) and can understand your wish to just have it working. For the speedo have you done the classic plug cut out yet? There is a connector in the engine bay for the speedo, this is usually pretty rubbish ...

I am in Hampshire so not a million miles away. What model and year is your car btw?

VolVo 480's are a cool looking little sporty car with plenty of go if chipped (turbo)
.

I would counter that it is not just turbos but also ES non-cats as well, my 1.7 B18E is a raspy little engine that really shifts, it surprises me after so much time not driving it

I'm only commenting because I'm disappointed I missed out on making dildo comments. I would like to give whoever designed that gearstick a lesson in what ergonomics mean :lol: :kill: I do think you are being unfair on the designer. I think it's ribbed design is perfect for it's intended use. :rofl:...
