Re: Throttle body

Hi all It is very likely that I do not need the heater matrix I have just received. I will bring it with me tomorrow and if you want to it bring £60 with you. http://www.skandix.de/en/spare-parts/interior-temperature/heater/heat-exchanger/heat-exchanger-interior-heating/747/ Volvo P/N 3462359 Skandi...

Re: 480 Restoration on TV
reading the reviews I am have the feeling I will watch it hiding behind my fingers. Also, if I remember well they never changed the rusted/bent door but I could be wrong.
