Agree. If it's as good as it appears it's almost a bargain.

My guess is £8995, but as they have...

"BTW: while you are busy taking out the instrument cluster and gauges, take the time to replace the small T5 bulbs, there are 7 hidden in various places in the dashboard.

Re: 26th October Mini Meet Lincolnshire Wolds

Re: 26th October Mini Meet Lincolnshire Wolds

Marc Water in a rear foot well will almost certainly have come in via the boot and run forwards (unless you had your window well open in the rain?). First off check the boot carpet because chances are it's saturated underneath...if it is, then I would also recommend taking that back seat out becaus...

Bulbs for instruments

Hi all, I'm looking at replacing the bulbs in a few dash instruments as most seem to have died. The oil pressure/voltage dial cluster uses 3off 966326-1 according to the parts book (which is the same as those used on in the majority of the info. cluster). I'd just like to confirm its this type befor...

Re: 480 on eBay

Can see the CAT badge now! Couldn't see it on my phone.

I didn't realise the 1.7 ever had a cat. I assumed the 1.7 was dropped for emissions reasons and the 2.0 was when the cat was introduced.

What's a 1.7 with cat and auto like to drive? Never tried a 480 auto (not sure I want to either!!).

Re: Guinness world record attempt......

The website is up but very limited. I guess it will evolve, but FB is where most of the info. presides. https://www.volvo600.co.uk/ There was a launch event at Bruntingthopre this weekend with over 300 cars attending. I know Ashley attended in his 480. Youtube vid here: - https://www.youtube.com/wat...
