Re: Retractable roller cover eBay scam??
I've just paid under £100 for mine a few weeks ago, including delivery ! That's an eye-watering price for what is a used cover, no matter how hard they are to get hold of. Its because this seller is a particular kind of opportunistic low life. Claims to be an enthusiast but is solely motivated by g...

Re: 1994 Volvo 480 Turbo Diary - Half an Update November 2023
I feel both saddened and relieved by this update. Saddened that painters, by and large, are unreliable (I think it's the fumes) but relieved that you're back on it. Just a thought - Find a good detailer; They may be able to work wonders with the paint. I had Seymour done and was genuinely shocked by...

the problem is that there's no such thing as a "generic" set of hoses.
Manual or Auto? Different hoses

Re: Heated seat wiring
There's two heated pads, one in the backrest, one in the base.
Those wires look like they've pulled out from the multi plug - check the wiring underneath the seat

Re: Lanoguard - anyone used it as rustproofing?
Jeff - you have recommended Bilt Hamber S50 cavity wax in the past. Does treating with Lanoguard (or something similar) first and then following up soon after with a cavity waxing sound logical? If there's one thing you can't have enough of, its rust prevention! Most cars rot from the inside out. W...

Re: Winter and 480's
Valid points; my thinking is that modern ethanol laden fuel is not very good (utter shite would probably be my description).it doesn’t like to stand. I tend to only put E5 in mine.
Your experience with the Saab is probably due to it having real fuel!

Re: Winter and 480's
Fuel tank is plastic so now chance of it rusting. I'd leave as empty as possible, so that you can then add plenty of fresh stuff come the summer months

Winter and 480's
Thanks to Sylvia's recent problems forcing her to break out dehumidifiers, I thought I'd add a few random musings about "winter proofing" a 480. First and most obvious, is to make sure your 480 is water tight. Yes, we've all heard the jokes, but its actually not as hard as it seems. Obvious ones are...

Re: Brake caliper refurbishment
Excellent write up as usual, TBH for the outer seal/dust cover I normally fit it after I've fitted the inner seal and pushed in the piston, I guess depends on clearance and how easy fiddly it is to flip it over? The problem is getting the out seal lip to tuck in - If google images was playing ball,...

Re: Brake caliper refurbishment
So, to remove the mechanism from the piston, its a simple as levering from both sides with a pair of stout screwdrivers. You don't have to dissassemble it to transfer it over but do ensure you give it a thorough cleaning. Fitting into the new piston is done by pressing in - A vice (fitted with soft ...

Re: Brake caliper refurbishment
Rear Brake Strip down So, working the handbrake lever should be sufficient to push the piston out of the bore; otherwise you'll have to hydraulic it out. Turned the piston over you'll be greeted by this (another image to fix) That's half of the handbrake adjuster mechanism. If you're looking at you...
