Re: Volvo 480 on AutoTrader
Hello and welcome. As has already been said, this ES is very over priced and I doubt the dealer will be willing to reduce it to a realistic level. You might want to think about buying a rescue car. If you haven't found information about our rescues yet, have a look on here. It's been quiet over the ...

Re: The first of the 4 has appeared already!
POA indicates an eye watering price. I hope no-one buys it without looking at the poor MoT history.

Re: Witching ECU
The confusing thing is that the modded ecu colours are not the same as the Volvo ones. Can't remember which matches what though. You do have to have the correct one.

Re: FOR SALE - 4x Volvo 480 SE, Celebration, & GT models - North West England
As James says, thank you for offering them here. Those are all rare cars, so your father in law certainly knew his 480s. I wonder if he was one of our members ? I maintain registers for all of those models, so I would very much appreciate further details and will send you a pm regarding that. We wil...

Re: Passengers side mirror surround wanted.
I assume you mean the colour coded cap ? If so, it's storm grey, the same as the rest of the car. Looks black, until you put it up against black or the sun catches it at the right angle to show the bluey purple undertone.

Re: Pop up lights problem
Lights not on as well as popups not working could be the relay. It's the tall black one in the box in the scuttle. If you're in the UK, Terry Stone Volvo usually has them. Otherwise malkontent on here or Ria Gerritse on the fb group are both EU.

Maybe we should do some car swapping for various legs of the meeting convoys. Musical cars

Re: Paris the Unicorn joins the club !
Paris has now gone into our Pedantic garage man for her mot and check of the leaky gearbox. From there she will be 'test driven' back to the bodyshop. She will have the luxury of a heated and dehumidified store whilst awaiting the rest of the work - doors, front wings and front bumper to be sprayed....

Re: Rescue Car: R3
Petrol blue is both darker and slightly more turquoise. The difference is clear when you see them together. Photos are just misleading

Re: Rescue Car: R3
218 is Arctic Blue, 219 is Petrol Blue.
Assuming it's not tipping it down like it is here a quick pop of the bonnet will tell us for certain.

Re: Rescue Car: R3
She’s a very nice example of an early car. Looks almost identical to Ben’s 480 as well (bar the newly coloured bumpers). Arctic blue must’ve been quite a popular colour for these early cars as I believe R1 is the same as well. Am I right in thinking this has the potent B18E? If I remember arightly ...

Re: Rescue Car: R3
I doubt we will get anything back. Had the rescue group been offered the opportunity to buy the car back we would have done so, even if it was at the same price we sold it for. He was quick enough to contact me when he wanted to buy it, but has not been in touch with me over his decision to dispose ...
