Its only available from orange at the minute, but there are unlocked ones on ebay and other such places. The new 650 comes with bluetooth. But if you have blu...

Dont one of my mates is encouraging me to make a 960, ie to 480's one in the front one in the back not a large estate.

It does lend itself to the idea of a kitcar along the lines of the mojo, which uses a fiesta xr2, front end and put it at the rear of the car.

The sunroof isnt as simple as cut a hole as the Stock volvo unit sits in a prepressed part of the roof skin. You should be able to fit an aftermarket one ok as they are designed to fitted to a plain roof skin. There are also a couple of hoses draining it back to the outside world. I am about to remo...

I listen to Yokohama fm, the sound of my tyres trying their hardest to keep me shiny side up on the black stuff :hopping:

One was sold on ebay last night for £26 so not too bad if it is a problem. It definitely sounds like the head gasket has gone. Hope t...

:D I hoped you was.

They have the wrong answer to road safety, i had a cracking week in hospital with some stunning nurses, including a real cutie called lucy who made the best mug of horlicks in the world.

I dont intend to let the 480 meet the same end as the puma did, i was lucky that time.

I got some Koni yellow adjustables for mine, and they handle a treat not too harsh, but they are adjustable so you can stiffen them up if you want to visit the dentist more regularly for fillings. But on the road combined with 195/50r15 yokohama a539 tyres and pi springs they are absolutely spot on.
