Volvo 480 Club Europe

to this point, my things only ever had the chunky bois on it and consistently killed them due to direct heat transfer from contact with the block, had intended on going for one of the slimmer reduction ones in the hope it helps, failing that I'll move to a WOSP high output unit, but at £300, id rath...

serious looking bit of kit,

all you need is a starter motor ????

aye almost ready to remedy the original problem now

Well, we have an engine! or at least 95% of one! Just waiting on a few small parts and I can get the crank pulley on and all timed up, water pump etc etc etc! Spec of the engine is as below for those as nerdy as me :lol: F7R A700 2.0l 16v Block and head - as per Renault Clio Williams Block overbored...

Gez,

see the link below, someones just posted a B18FT for sale on this very forum - might be an option

if all of the plugs, leads, cap and arm are in good condition i would check the crank sensor, its positioned at the very top of the bellhousing right at the block, can be had on ebay new relatively cheaply, i'd also just check all your earths and make sure thats all good as it should be!

And THIS is why I love my 940

80% of the engine components loaded up ready for heading to an old-school lad locally on Friday for building up!

25+ years of flatulence

I might re-cycle this pair and make them adjustable, however, I do have at least one other pair of complete normal arms, unsure of the bush condition... I think I'll try to keep it as original as I can in the sense that I have some good condition mount here anyway, I'll just beef them up for longevi...

Might be an odd suggestion or maybe something you've checked, is the air filter still in ok condition? not totally choked up? or at the other end of the spectrum doesn't have a massive hole in it? the other thing that crossed my mind is a dying fuel pump/blocked gauze on the fuel pump pick up Anothe...

Pretty sure if this post should be titled "Bitter-sweet Nothings"... Let's start with the good news, to lure the unsuspecting reader in :lol: SO! My new pistons have arrived - complete with their rods, some nice shiny 83mm bore 11.2:1 Wossner pistons with PEC rods, ARP hardware etc! Have another box...

Get used too it! It doesnt get any better haha!

I actually have had 2 from him in the past haha! although in the past I merely got the straight centre section along with the adjustable section fitted then fitted oem ends to it myself, ive had a catchcan from him in the past however

Hi Folks, A parts fabricator I have used quite a few times among other folks on here I'm sure also is in the process of making up adjustable panhard rods for the 480, handy bit of kit if you're lowering your 480 and want to even everything up on the back end and correct axle shift and other geometry...

I won't post our 150Te one at work either :wink: :lol: A: Standard 093 Battery, I can perform CPR to the bracket and it moves nowhere so good enough for me! B: Jack recess renders the boot relatively useless, did think on using spare wheel but as you say I don't want to drill holes and I'd rather s...

Another small victory last night! Been planning to relocate the battery into the rear of the car, try to tidy up some of the bird's nest of OEM wiring + my additions with the Standalone ECU... So far I've got it mostly mapped out and have a rough idea where everything is going just needed to figure ...

Hey Martin, haha, Tom (Justtank) speak pretty on often on Facebook, as it stands his will have the higher numbers than mine pretty easily! but I guess there are a few other variables in there too.. :lol: Plus going with my engines record... it might blow up on me! Bound to be somewhere that's organi...

Well... after the stress of incorrect parts being supplied for the clutch + flywheel for the C30 my 940 can be put back into semi-retirement for winter and the C30 back into daily duties! MOT on the C30 due next week and all looks reasonably well on it so fingers crossed... see pics of the C30 + 940...

Well folks, unfortunately, no pictures to update you all with at the moment as it's all been a bit slow recently! With assuming my role as backstage manager for a local Panto at the end of November and beginning of December all of my time was eaten up! And just as I was away to make the big order of...
