Volvo 480 Club Europe

If you are coming past Cambridge, you are more than welcome to call in, even if just for 5 minutes to say hello; I live in Horningsea, one minute off the A14. Cambridge is one of the finest places to be a tourist in the UK if you want to go into the city. I'm afraid our motorway service stations are...

I was 100% coming to see you guys until my wife reminded me that I'd already agreed to go to her friend's wedding that day.

Do keep us posted on any other dates in the future though Brinkie please.

Could the accumulator be recharged with Nitrogen, like Citroen spheres? Or, is there a membrane inside which has failed? I'd recommend Martin at Pleiades in Sawtry, Huntingdonshire, should this be possible 01487 831239. He's been nothing but helpful with my hydraulically sprung cars. I think he char...

I have original Volvo mats. They go green with age and let down the interior of the car and are starting to wear through. I'd like some new ones too but to the exact same shape. If anyone knows a good mat maker, I will happily send my originals for a template to be made and we can all buy a set.

I'm afraid I'm not here on June 4th otherwise I would love to have joined you all

Hi Ade, have you seen the upgrade mentioned on here for the recirc valve?

What's your opinion on it?

‎I would add that I recently did all all of this work on my ES it wasn't too hard to get to the injectors. A little fiddly but not too bad.‎ However, with all the work getting access, etc., I would recommend to send the injectors away for a clean and analysis for £50 (for four) and they come back wi...

I have a load of 0.36W bulbs so if you want one I could probably post one to you. It's too overpowering with the 1.2W in

For those awaiting us at the Dam, we are running late so will be there at 3:30ish.

Leaving Cambridge now. ETA at first point 1040. See you all soon

Wow, 10 is pretty good for our little club!

Polished up too! Ran out of time for the insides. Will hoover in the morning.

Maybe next time we could go and visit poorly or in-work 480's on our adventures.

You could always join us just to say hello!

That's not cleaning, I left the spider's webs in there! The side clips of my bumper have been off for ages (years!) so tightened up the clips and put the bumper back on. Still sits a bit low but much improved. I'm pleased we are going on our little trip as there are some little niggles i've been put...

Prep day!

Looks lovely mate. Good luck with the sale.

I may be going to Lake's Volvo this week so will try and get one. I'll PM you before I go to see if you still need it. Will only be a couple of quid knowing them If you want to pop to milton Keynes for a cuppa and a 480 gossip, drop me a PM Only just saw this. Didn't end up going in the end. See yo...

It looks like I may be solo too, as I can't figure out a way to fit the 21st Century child seat in the rear seats, for my 2 year old to travel in comfort and style.. Isofix hadn't been invented when the 480 was conceived I guess.. Hi Martin, I think I read on here years ago that a longer seatbelt c...

Hello everyone. I'll be solo for the trip and will be doing the whole journey. A friend lives near Holmfirth so may join us at the end.

I'm won over by the snug idea, sounds great.

Have such a soft spot for the old ones.

I wonder if it's wheel arches are rotten?
