Volvo 480 Club Europe

Thanks James, 3345235 and 3344880 are the part numbers I have been given the originals were melted off. I have tried a few sources but no luck so far. Am hoping Fraser may be able to help otherwise I am thinking a trip to your neck of the woods (Lakes) is an option.

Hi all ,my celebs cooling fan siezed during mot test and to cut a long story short went up in flames. Am looking for a cooling fan and motor with both connectors if poss. Am informed that a 440/460 will fit as well if anyone can help. Many thanks

ha ha, life jackets provided Martin. My celeb is in for M O t on wed, so will sort meal after that. Just need a rough idea of numbers to book it. Start and finish will be the car park behind town hall in Skipton for 10 o’clock, then thru Settle to Ribblehead,Hawes, Aysgarth, West Burton, Linton and ...

Hi Sylvia, I will be on a battlefield tour of Belgium and France on that date, so unable to come I’m afraid. Shame you could not make the waterfalls meet here’s hoping for good weather for both meets. Cheers Norm.

Things seem to be progressing ok Will. If you get thru the mot maybe you can make the Waterfalls mini-meet on the 15th of March.There will be a few of the ‘locals’ along to that, so plenty of help and advice available if you need it. Good luck. Fingers crossed I will make it. Just after my birthday...

Hello again folks :) Well the BRINKIE MAGIC has been worked once again, and I now how a nice smooth working speedometer, odometer, rev counter and info-centre. Having driven the car for a couple of weeks without any idea how fast I was going ;) it is hard to explain how much the simple pleasure of ...

I'm not sure if it will be just me or the whole family at the moment Norm, can I let you know nearer the time?

Yes no problem Nigel, look forward to meeting up again.

Yep I'm up for it.

Cheers Nigel, will it be the whole Poustie clan?

Might be worthwhile just clear taping it for now until Sylvia’s European connection produce the new lenses.

Thanks Martin, as a treat there maybe a small diversion to Hubberholme church which has one of the few surviving rood lofts in Yorkshire!

Forgot to add you can pm me.Thanks

Hi all, as you may have seen on Martins new year new 480 thread, I was thinking of a northern mini meet. So have decided to start a new thread (thanks Martin). It is looking like the 15th of March and as a rough guide to anyone interested will start and finish in Skipton. Distance of about 80 miles ...

Great idea Norm, I'd be up for that too - I love the Dales :D It's in the diary!! David Anyone who is interested in a mini meet on the 15th March just let me know either this thread or pm me. I will try and sort a scenic route with some decent driving roads and a pub meal. Bear in mind I am not in ...

Ooohhh... I've visited the Yorkshire Dales in 2017, in a LHD V70 which is a good drivers car (thanks to the Ford Mondeo underpinnings) but I think that wasn't as much fun as it would in a 480. Took a detour from the A65 (to Malham Cove) and more or less followed the signs "Unsuitable for HGVs" :D W...

Hello David, Many thanks for the reply. If you're able to click through this link https://i.imgur.com/ExyAvrr.mp4 you should see the dance of the two wedgie eyebrows :) If it doesn't work, the symptoms are that when the ignition is on and headlamps on, the pop ups both work fine and stay up unaided...

Great idea Jeff, I could do with a heater knob for my celeb ,it has seen better days and will save me trying to refurb it.

If it’s got the rear lights and the wheels are decent, it’s well worth a bid just for spares.

Welcome to the forum and wedge ownership. If you are thinking of keeping the car long term then I would advise replacing the arches. You will find 440/460 replacements will fit with a bit of work . Good to have another 480 nearby I am in Knaresborough, so look forward to meeting up when you get road...
