If you knew my local Volvo main dealer Mart, you'd try to get the part numbers 1st - they're beyond useless (but only 5mins away). Unless your booking a new model in for a full service and valet they're not interested. In my experience most 'Main Dealers' are pretty cr@p and a complete ripoff, it's...

autotrader

follow radionappers link and goto previous page(1) - really nice looking 1995 2.0 with special alloys in green for £695. However, wish I could say the same for this one on ebay - look close and check out the paintjob - NASTY.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=9872&item=45...

Hi Amir, have decided to hold out for a manual as although my auto is ok, if I swap really want to go back to a stick for the fun factor. Hope you got my email. Best of luck with it, lovely looking car.

Should have been in the top 5.......

Drivers Heated Seat and the 'automatic parking' rear windscreen wiper that always likes to park itself right in the middle instead of at the bottom. Was like stepping into my old '89 480 when I got the newer one, both had identical faults. We wouldn't love 'em if they weren't 'quirky' :shock: would...

Here's an interesting fact - My missus who travels the same distance in our new 1.2 Corsa gets exactly the same miles to the gallon as the 2.0 480 - reason being if your doing long runs at 80/90mph your eating fuel by having to thrash a l...

Ruabon actaully Ad!

Down by the Bridge. We moved from Chester last year but still work there, hence needing a faster motor to undertake all those people who like to sit in the fastlane doing 69mph on the A483 everyday (when it's not 40mph roadworks of course).

Thanks for the comments amigos (Even Mr Bugatti for the speeding lecture, I'm not a boyracer, but I buy the 480 as it's a SPORTS coupe!). Thought Steve and Martin would have some useful comments seeing they own T.Autos, cheers guys. Might give you a call about the Turbo mods when I get a car sorted...
