Re: After 9 years and 10 months...
Just noticed my profile, I joined here (having previously been on the "old" forum) just after my 23rd birthday.
My next birthday I'll be 40, boy I feel old now

Re: After 9 years and 10 months...
Thanks for the advice everyone
I'm pretty gutted that I sold some spare rear lights a couple of years ago. They were in decent Nick and barely even faded

Re: After 9 years and 10 months...
I remember with my last 480 I just walked into Euro parts and bought a pair of new front clusters for £70!
I guess those days are gone
What's the availability of things like axle bushes like? I'm thinking that at 25 years old they must be nearly past their best.

After 9 years and 10 months...
I got another 480! :D I was digging through some boxes of books in the loft and found my 400 series HBOL and some other Volvo books, thinking how long it had been since I sold my last 480. The next day my mate sent me a link to a GT for sale a few hours drive away. Long story short, 2 weeks later it...

Re: RIP Steve - you'll be greatly missed
Aye, you always knew when you opened one of his threads it would be something random or funny or both! He was even more random in real life but a really nice chap that would make anyone feel at ease.
Life needs more people like him and I'm genuinely upset to hear of his passing

Guess I better show face as well. I've grown up and got a sensible car too, a wrx impreza wagon. Can see me giving in someday and getting another 480. Not a stock one though,a stripped and tuned track car

Re: Are there any members out there who have...
I have a copy of brochure 2, plus an earlier version of it with a close up of the front and rear of 2 black 480's parked overlapping. I also have a volvo price list for 1994 model year and a dealer only parts catalogue that has exploded views of the 480's components and how they fit together. Do you...

Re: 400 series problems infecting my new car!!
You might find its a 12 year anti-perforation warranty rather than just corrosion. Also, they usually insist on a yearly paintwork inspection, usually done with its annual service if it has full dealer history.

Re: 480 Turbo lowering
Volvo did their own sports suspension kit, although its super rare. It included slightly lower springs (20mm?) uprated dampers and a shorter panhard rod to keep the geometry correct. I had several lowered 480's. More than 30mm drop i found impractical as the rear wheels would rub on the arch lips wh...
