Any tips on the replacing / getting a new set of screws after the grinding Alan? Sometimes cars have weird sizes Thanks for the pointers!

Hi guys any tips on this? My screws are all rust free but seem to be stuck fast, even when I wd-40 them, plus the screw heads seem to be an ultra shallow Philips head with an extra large gap in the middle- any tips on what sort of bit to use to free these off? I know I have a small garden stuck betw...

Hi Malkontent,

Sorry I missed this post, thanks for the offer but Ive sorted that particular 480 problem for now! Thanks again and sorry for the slow reply

Hi Jim, any chance of a celebration instrument pod? I may ship it direct to the Netherlands for renewal!

Tim

Ok thanks Robert, I'll get on this, by the way, my last foray into the dash also included some successful contact cleaning of the fan switch (which now works) and the clock bulb. My only downside is that the "srs" (airbag) light is now permanently illuminated. I just did the steps described in your ...

HI Robert, I popped out my dash yesterday and did the squeeze of the pins you mentioned on the info center board- loads of contact cleaner- but still no info canter (on the upside my fan switch has started working again- but my airbag waring light has come on :-( ) Anyhow, the next step is soldering...

Im interested in this too as Id like to take my glass out and strip down the metal and then re-paint- hope someone has a plan!

Any updates on this? I might be in for both sides!

Well, I guess any tax change which ends in a draw is kind of a moral win

Does anyone understand the new car tax rules due to come in in 2017? Will it be win loose or draw for 480s?

Best

Quick straw poll, just clip these in or put a bed of silicone sealant down too?

My 480, saved again by Jim!

Hi, Im after a drivers side rear orange reflector- sits just to the left of the fuel cap if your facing the rear wheel I might go for a pair if that suits you better?

Tim

Thanks Robert, Ive given my lighter a good hoover & changed the fuse, so next step is to buy some contact cleaner! Thanks for the help. Jim is looking for some extra parts for you to fix up if I cant get things working. Many thanks!

Tim

Great, thanks Jim, no hurry but let me know when the stash is ready!

Tim

Oh and some hinges for the front left pop up light!

Help me Jim!

Hi Jim, ok my want list has grown as follows- Full celebration era dash pod (the info center swap didn't bring me any luck getting my info center back on :-( ) Heater A/C Fan unit The Orange passenger side rear reflector that sits up and left of the fuel flap. The plastic trim thing that sits at the...

Well, swapping the ecu didnt do it, so anyone out there with a 'grey' celibration era instrument panel / pod then Im all ears! May well send the whole bundle to binkie!

Hi there, My problem is the info center information not displaying- I've changed the bulb and can see some light so I'm confident to say that that bit is working! Ive just tried swapping my ECU for one taken from a working car and no change in the problem. No fuel, oil, engine temp info etc. What st...

Well I could well be up for one of your roof things! How much would you want for it?
