Volvo 480 Club Europe

After the forum and clubsite went down during the summer holiday we were able to get the forum back up and running quite quickly. The webhost merely had to make some changes to the server-settings after they had upgraded the PHP package. The clubsite needed maintenance - some functions we used were ...

I have received a link from Daniel!

As some of you might have noticed the forum was out. Our webhost made some changes and the forum is running again. The site will follow soon.

Just a post to keep you updated.

best regards,
Daniël

Thanks to Jim and Adam for pointing out that there was a problem with PM's not being displayed (and other mischief and mayhem in that area). Last week our webhost provider updated PHP on the servers - perhaps that caused some incompatibility with the old PHPBB forum version we had running. I have ju...

Yesterday the Collection received a service treat and a fresh APK (ducth eq. of MOT) at the Volvo dealer :D No remarks, I believe they replaced a sway bar at the rear and for the rest nothing special. The APK moment was in October, but it's kind of silly to have the 480 serviced at the end of the ye...

Yes, it was an excellent meeting in my opinion 8) Was a bit nervous about the weather the days before the meeting, but in the end we had a wonderful sunny Saturday! I have sent all participants an e-mail with the request to upload their pictures to my server, so that we can put the best pictures on ...

Well, everything has been prepared and we're all set to go again! Puzzle-rally, trophies, BBQ, and even a chance of a sunny Saturday in Meschede

See you all tomorrow or Saturday morning at the start of the 2012 Club Europe meet

ANNOUNCEMENT: registering is once again possible (there was an error when registering, fixed it...) And also fixed the old darned "I am logged in / I am NOT logged in" issue on the clubsite! :hopping: @Suddy: ah...clear. :D and sure you can bring kids. There is a nice playground for the youngsters w...

Well, the 480 is still safe and sound inside its garage, only took a short spin around the block when I had to take it out so the builders could close two gaps that were left from windows in the side of the garage (before my house was extended to the back against the side of the garage). A few weeks...

Hey everyone! Spring time is coming, so grab your polish and wax and bring your 480 up to speed again because the 2012 Club Europe meeting is approaching rapidly! This year we have chosen the German Sauerland as the setting for the meeting. Just think about it: nice hilly scenery with valleys and fo...

And an excellent 2012 with lots of TLC for your shining beauties!

So, after having had the 480 parked outside on the lawn for the past two winters due to our house renovation I was finally able to get the garage sorted out again and make space for the 480 again! Couldn't stand the sight of having her parked outside for another winter. Here's the proof! http://img....

Just to shed some extra light on this matter, Peter is looking for a thread from the past (probably on the 480EU forum here) about someone who managed to place/convert the speedometer of a 1.7Turbo in a 2.0i.

If someone happens to recall such a thread anywhere Peter would be grateful

After 5 posts a user is allowed to post external links, like to pictures. So from now on you should be able to.

Does anyone have the english 480 user manual PDF somewhere

I could only find the dutch and german one...

Ooooh pictures would be so cool!

Impressive what you're doing here, your wife must feel special

Never seen the first one, but the second one kinda looks like the one Dave Slater (DBS) used to make... Not really my cup of tea, think the first one is just a remnant of a traffic accident where a piece of metal kept stuck on the roof of a 480. The second one comes closer, but it's too big and too ...

The download section is restored again. All the files on dragon's server were sadly all of a sudden no longer available for download. Luckily I managed to retrieve most of the PDF's and now placed them on my private server. So you should be able to download the manuals to begin installing your fuel ...

I have changed the favicon - just wanted something at the time so took the logo and shrunk it, but I can imagine it's not that clear at 16x16 pixels

So in a few hours / days the new favicon should be visible.

[OT] I never heard of headlamp washers on a 480. Is it compulsory in Danmark? Where are the located? I have them on my 480, it requires the larger type reservoir and an extra pump. Then with some sort of garden hose the water is transported to the popuplights. You can see a hole when you raise the ...
