Volvo 480 Club Europe

Well worth doing and a good guide.

I recently used 'Finish Solution' on mine and brought them back, although they had only just begun to fade whereas I think yours may have been well past saving!

If this ^ doesn't work out then I'd take the boot roller cover!

I should have said that I only have on street parking so I would have to rent storage as well, and as my exhaust went kaput the other day on a speed bump it's clear I could better spend my money fixing her up and keeping her on the road. No harm should really come to the car sat on the street, asid...

Agree with all the above, I was laid on the ground last weekend rinsing the underside with cold water as best as I could.

I went as far as taking the wheels off and cleaning the arches thoroughly, particularly the lip that runs around the edge of the arch which seems to accumulate grit.

I drop by the place to see progress and see it all dirty makes me want to grab a mop. Worth the wait, giving it a proper clean once it's finished will be the ultimate in satisfaction! I'm not that convinced on values will increase simply because, without meaning to betray the forum, I don't think t...

Spotted on pistonheads, https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/top ... 386&i=3000

The car is in Modern Classics mag, the V6 has been in previously with a full page, they only saw it appropriate to give the 480 2/3rds and by doing so seem to have edited down my article into a serious of strangely worded bullets points with quite a few spelling mistakes. They were obviously in a ru...

My girlfriend and I decided to take a few days away in Norfolk, obviously I saw this as an opportunity to give the car its first decent clean in my ownership: Before: https://imgur.com/4E4C6pc.jpg https://imgur.com/ouR6jDI.jpg https://imgur.com/TgRHNEB.jpg https://imgur.com/hc724Ls.jpg After https:/...

I'll admit it, I got excited...

Sounds like a no-brainer then, I think some standard Turbo length springs might be in order as well as the front of my car is a bit high!

I've got Bridgestone Turanza T001 EVO 195/55 R15 H all round. £285 for 4. https://i.imgur.com/zXKtHqM.jpg Typically when it comes to tyres I default to Michelin/Pirelli/Goodyear in the forms of Supersports/P-Zero/Eagle F1. However, with none of these available in the right sizes I went shopping for ...

It's good timing this post has been restarted, I've been considering getting some Bilsteins, but I'm unsure how significantly they will effect the ride comfort compared to standard? As much as I would love the car to as firm and stable as possible I don't want to compromise my 480's ability to blast...

Another update already, Will kindly picked the car up for me on Friday so I was able to get the train up to Oxford after work and collect it from him. As I thought, just a new water and steering pump with its fresh MOT. The car was rather grubby so I took it for a clean this morning: https://i.imgur...

there's WAY too many photo's to like there!

There is plenty more where they came from - this is the slimmed down version!

Yes, looking forward to another next year.

It has taken me a week to build up the courage to write this post, having written something of great length previously and losing it due to the forum logging me out… amateur. So, attempt 2, drafted in word. I was introduced to the world of 480s by Will (Jaster) when, on a lunch break, we went to vie...

Hi all, My 480 is currently at the Swedish Car Clinic awaiting an MOT and a new steering pump, they've had trouble sourcing one, that being said could someone advise me on the correct type so that I can find one online somewhere? They've had three new pumps in from the likes of eurocarparts etc. to ...

Hello! I've been waiting for access to the forum since earlier this year when I bought my 480.

I met a few of you at the Peak District meet.
