Volvo 480 Club Europe

ah the joy of an engine bay where you can reach things easily... why is it that the cars that are most fun to drive are the least fun to work on?

Yeh one thing that will never slow down even in a credit crunch is the number of foreigners coming into this country, taking our homes, jobs, money, even our lives sometimes... :angry: Yeah, bloody foreigners, coming into the country, building our houses, taking the jobs none of us want to do, for ...

whay year is your car... and how much are you selling for?

tried that... runs a bit freaky and I'm not teccy enough to know why

Wales meet was frikkin' awesome. I had my S at that time... miserable realisation my car was the dullest there and to top it off, despite dowsing myself in insect repellent and wearing a baseball cap the whole time, I got a stripe of 27 gnat bites across my forehead... fair play though, the 480 bug...

Each to their own. Late Turbo is the pinnicle for me. I'd swap the GT wheels, but you can keep the interior and the engine

2 Volvo 480's on autotrader?!?

Is this a sign that all the financial crap in the news has made people give up selling cars? Or is it just the 480 has reached "that age "

ugly as sin.

I don't think people realised just how good Workbench was. I didn't, it didn't seem important at the time. Why did Commodore self destruct? Was it just about software piracy? It didn't seem to stp the new releases :? I remember buying a 0.5 Meg upgrade so I could play Lotus Espirt Turbo Challenge......

I've got a suspicion they were on PCP.

There is advise on the forum not to use fully synthetic oil. IIRC it damages the seals.

To be fair mate, "It's not bad for its age" and "has had most of the expensive work done", seems to suggest that there are a few things wrong with it. I wouldn't want to go all the way to Newport Pagnell and find the car's got all sort wrong with it, so if you could give us an honest write up, the g...

How about a Jaguar XJ220 with a 6.2L Jaguar V12...

well, so many of my favourite cars I wouldn't swap the engine out for anything else... but for fun I think the Lotus Elise with the BMW twin turbo V10

Oh Ral mate, so sorry to see this

He should have got it sprayed first..

these are still available new... about £40 each... they are a good investment if your car is in good condition, really make a difference.

I don't think the XJS suffered from a lack of kudos tho.... it's just that... well they E-type is always in the list of "greatest cars ever". Anyway, the design on the C30 and the 480 are derived from the P1800. That is clear. I don't think that it's a snub on the 480, it's just that the P1800 was t...

I'm interested, what's the mileage? Are snoopers still legal??
