Volvo 480 Club Europe

Bought a DLR bulb from volvo the other day (to see if it was a non-standard bulb making my pop-up wig out), cost £2.80. I thought, if that's what they charge for a bulb I'm not even gonna bother with them for anything that is less than essential. Is there an on-line price list for genuine volvo par...

I had to de-badge the front of mine.... I reckon it just looks wrong with it there.

Just bought some alloys but I would prefer genuine volvos.... Might put in a bid.... typical isn't it?

Anyone got a spare rear washer jet? If not could someone pick one up next time they're in a scrappy? :help: There aren't any 480's in the scrappys by me atm. I only noticed mine was missing when I squirted the car behind me! I shouldn't think the scrappy would charge but if they do I'll pay any expe...

:dunno: As far as I know 195/50 has 97.5 mm height (50% of 195) and 185/65 works out as 120.25. When you take into account the extra inch on the wheel, the diameter changes by about +0.55%. If that's right, I'm not really gonna lose sleep over that! Does anyone know what how the inflation pressure i...

Hi,
Just fitted some 15" rims to my car. Will I need to make any adjustments? I've gone from 185/65 R14 to 195/50 R15 tyres so the diameter seems more or less the same.

These are the wheels I've got... pics will follow!

Thought I'd just post this for people to who maybe looking for new wheels, thought this was a really helpful link.

Ah.... my bad, got it into my head that Cetus were 16" for some reason....

(probably because the car of the month has managed to shoehorn some 17" rims on - good work dood!)

I light of that fact, I may just go for 15's....

Thanks.

Hi all, I'm hoping to lay my hands on some 16" rims for my car, but I want to make sure that this will be OK, I don't want to have to tinker with suspension just yet or get any rubbing/banging/vibrating/<insert own annoying & vaguely sexual verb here>/ problems. I'm gonna keep an eye out for the gen...

I hope one day we will decide on a category which everyone agrees on...some research has to be made...

Can't we agree on coupe???

Checked the Earths, can't see any problems there (and the throttle cable hasn't melted, must be a good sign! ). I think it may be time to take the motor out and have a look... unfortunately, I couldn't understand the instructions Jonas posted, so I guess it's time to consult Haynes again.

oh and... if you have alloys, pls let me know!!!!

The arm on my drivers seat-belt hasa snapped off... I'm lookiing for a replacement... any joy there???

So basically Haynes have dodged telling us which relay is which? Is this because they differ? I read that the early models had a different relay layout to the ones from 1994. My car was registered in November 1993, so I'm not sure which layout it is. I'm wondering if any of you experts know how I ca...

Looking to fit alloys to my 480S. I'm looking for original volvo alloys though. If anyone has any spare please let me know! Anyone know a ball-park figure I'd be looking at? I know this is all probably a matter of taste, but what do you reckon are the best volvo alloys for the 480? Cheers! Ad edit b...

Thanks Jonas,

Just a bit puzzled tho, if it is the motor, why does the light work ok every time the engine is off?

I saw the pictures of the 480 dials in white. Theyare just what I'm after! Is anyone else still interested in getting some? Bulk purchase discount is quite attractive!

I have a 93 S too and have the same empty space in my relay box. Did you figure out what it was for? I have an intermittent problem with my pop-ups, where the near side light winks if I pop them up and down with the engine running. Seems to function fine when the engine isn't running tho... thought ...

I'm having exactly the same problem with my car. If I pop the lights up, there's no problem, but if I'm driving along and I pop them down the near side light keeps on "winking"... going up and down until I stop the engine and turn the ignition on again. :? I think it's the relays somehow... but does...

Does anyone know where I could print out a copy of the relay map that is usually inside the triangular box? Mine is missing (or could someone scan one and send it to me please???)
