Volvo 480 Club Europe

sikaflex rings a bell as being a good bonder.

By rear luggage cover, are you meaning the non retracting variant, the one which fastens to the clips in the boot.

In which case i have one sat here in my front room.

You can get any 70mm induction kit, and it fits straight onto the standard pipe, i personally am using a pipercross viper, as it stops the heat problems associated with standard induction kits. Performance back box, many custom places can sort you out with that, I am currently building a system usin...

Dave where do i send my money (polite answer only please)

I ripped the remainder of mine of at the weekend at clipstone forest thanks to a nice lump on a forest track. Its been a flapper for a while, but now it is no more.

Thats one furry pussy you have there sir

oops my mistake this isnt the playboy thread

No the fogs on a 480 are just in the right place for removal to run some nice cold air ducts to the brakes, i knew i shouldnt have read that porsche magazine with my lunch today.

Check all the fuses, mine did this once and one of the fuses had blown, cant remember which one it was now, but changed it and away she went.

This might prove an interesting read for some of you.

Nightmare day today at work, and looks like thats my weekend gone as well, so I might not be attending unless a miracles happens tomorrow

The bolts werent my problem it was not having enough hands when trying to use the vice to push the bush back in.

I paid under that for my bushes, but if you are a member of the the Volvo owners club, certain suppliers give you 40% discount.

Count me in, as i am doing the bookatrack trackday on the friday at anglesey, so will probably be there on thursday, and do the track day on the friday.

Guessing the nice clean blue haynes book wont be staying quiet so shiny either?

Is this a new sport kitchen eye spy?

Dont forget to check the oil filler cap, if you see emulsion / mayonaise (dont eat it :D ) its the head gasket. Is the temperature staying constant or is it wavering up and down between a min and max, possibly over anything as much as a five minute cycle? Have you checked the back of the block, as t...

And if you put a pound in a box for every swear word you utter with seized bolts, and awkward to get to components, it should soon pay for itself

Enjoy mate, there is no better feeling than driving around in something you have fixed yourself.

The check strap is bolted into the door, or at least it was on mine, until i removed it!! :shock: It does require the door card to be removed and its a nightmare to get into. Make it easy on yourself and tap the retaining pin out, tap from bottom to remove, and oddly enough tap at the top to replace...

You put a scaff pole on a ratchet, there is only one word for you, and thats Animal.

My dealer couldnt be better, if there is a selection of items that do a job, he has let me take all of them away, and see which does the job i need it for best, pay for that item and return the others, top bloke. Only ever broken one item, a pair of pliers, and he replaced them no questions, the pai...

There isnt free power, but when the car is running at speed the air flow to the radiator is good enough for the flow to be very slow, but at high revs this isnt the case, and cavitation of the pump can become a problem. Yes the weight of the cage will be a nuisance but not dying has to be a good sid...

Im not anti social, I just have no one to give lifts to, hence only one seat.

I started buying snapon as i was using them every day, and then have just continued adding to my collection a little bit each month, and after 10 years it just about covers any job i encounter.

Stahl Wihle, not easy to get hold of in the uk, but yes they are good.
