Volvo 480 Club Europe

Iam thinking of selling my 480 as run a cat grooming business now doing over 1000 miles a week so need something more comfy!Spec as follows.Volvo 480 Turbo Auto,1995/M,White,44k miles with FVSH,Black half-leather interior like new,4 good Avon tyres,8m MOT,6m TAX,car only done 4000 miles a year from ...

I recently fitted the Bilstein uprating spring/shock kit to my '95 480 Turbo Auto.All was well for the first 2 weeks then,after having the tracking set up,then re-adjusted after 500 miles,the car pulls irritatingly to the left.This happens even when the road is on a positive camber!What could this b...

They look too narrow and dont fill out the arches enough.Would Volvo really have made a 185mm rim as well as a 195m rim?I guess they can afford to!Help!

I was quoted £120 for a half leather interior about 6 months ago.Say about £150 as I think the Jacquard/Leather is from the later 480s no?The ones with the surreal octagonal shapes in the centre?!!!!!!

I have just fitted a set of 6 spoke Volvo alloys to my 480 Turbo.They are the type shown on the 480 on the far right top of this page!The ones I bought are from a 96 440 1.9TD.I assumed that they are the same wheel,even though the tyres are 185s not 195/55/15s! Im hoping,as the new wheels aren't mar...

Hi all! I have just fitted today a set of the alloys pictured on the top right car on the club banner.Iam selling,for £200 with pukka tyres,a set in mint condition the same as on the far left car,from my 1995 Turbo.2 tyres are brand new too!

My black K-plater is now sold,thanks for the deluge of interest!CatGroom.

Lotus did indeed influence (redesign?) the suspension on our cars, yes. Hello geezer!Hope ur well!Will be heading on down to my nearest Proton dealer for some Handling by Lotus badges then as fancy one on either wing way below the indicators and one where on the old ones it said catalyser!By the wa...

I have read that Lotus designed the suspension,maybe more,for the 480.Can somebody tell me if this is true or not?If so,I shall be placing 3 "Handling by Lotus" badges on my wings under the indicators and 1 on the rear panel!Subtle,and not liar badges I hope!!!!!

Hi all!
Just lowered and uprated the suspension on my 94 Turbo.Think that the later 6 spoke alloys like on the car in the top r/h piccie on this club page would suit better than the '94 ones!Anyone want to swap or have a set to sell?must have tyres!

This car is still not sold,I get the picture I was asking too much previously.I will now sell to the 1st person with a sensible offer! Shes a Black,92/K,103k,FSH,standard-no mods,all compressions at 170psi-can prove,still returning 37mpg,new clutch,11m MOT,2m Tax,nosecone just repainted by VW dealer...

Can anyone advise me as to what would happen if I twisted the actuator rod about 1/2 a turn to a turn to allow boost to the top of the orange on the boost gauge?After all,isnt the red section at the top the danger zone?Cheers,Cat Groom!

PICTURES PLEASE. Also a statement about the bodywork would be nice (i.e. any rust? anywhere?) Hi GAz!Will sort sum piccies out and mail em 2ya ok matey?!Rust-none on any of the arches for starters.One small circle thats been treated at the bottom of drivers door.It is a clean one,'kin clean!I could...

Im trying to organise a meeting of 480 owners in Lowestoft (negotiable) in January 2004.Will anybody interested mail me at catgroom@fsmail.net or call 07771 633289.Dont be square-be there!????!!!!!Steve Cat Groom

Indeed I did,how the heckedy heck do you get the free club sticker then chap?oh and has yours got full leather?If so,where did u get it from?

I wasnt frowning upon it,just saying you might not be able to do it! If i could chip my 480 i would! if anyone wants to post me either a 'chipped' chip or a normal one i will happily try it in an eeprom reader and see if it can be done!
