Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi All Time for an updated list! Most parts are free; in all cases postage is extra I'm afraid but you'd also be welcome to collect (or if by chance I were to be coming your way I'd drop off to you)... N/S (UK passenger side) earlier style front fog light (the ridged style lens) - brand new old stoc...

Hmm....not sure but let me check

Sorry for the delayed response - afraid not. Can provide the bolt, but not that bracket...

David

Looks like it was the usual great day!

Sorry we couldn't make it this time - hopefully life will have settled again in time for the next outing

Did anyone get to the bottom of what antifreeze they're meant to be running? My local Volvo dealer suggested GL5, but I heard 4 was the right specification... Just use genuine Volvo coolant. It's not really any dearer than a good quality equivalent and it's right for all their cars. If you use some...

This has come up recently on Facebook as well, so to stop people wondering, the short answer is: NO . Lifetime Care was an interesting idea in its day and has long since been discontinued. The premise was that IF you had you car regularly serviced (within the 1 month/1000 mile tolerances) by a main ...

Set aside ready for you, Martin

Hi all, Having recently been lucky enough to acquire a fair amount of spare parts, yet at the same time trying to wind down some of my more major "restore and repair" activities, I am very gradually having something of a sort out of my spares stock. This means certain things will be coming up for gr...

Yep, it's not what you expect to hear on here, but as Jeff says on this particular problem BMW are your saviours.....

David

Great to see another green GT on here; interior looks in good shape as well :D You're fast discovering the parts situation, and yes, some Volvo main dealers are more helpful than others. I am lucky with mine although I have put a lot of business their way over many years and they still get to annual...

Sorry I couldn't make this one - looks as if fun was had despite the weather!

Fingers crossed we'll be available for the next one...

David

So pleased to see the car looking fantastic, Colm. I knew you were the right home for her!

David

Definitely should have a bulb, Will, so someone has removed it and neatly blanked it. It's another of those lights that should illuminate with ignition then go off.

So it'll be interesting to hear what it does once you fit a bulb.....

David

Fully reusable, they're not sealed in with any form of sealant.

Good news re the paintshop - she'll be perfect soon!!

David

Yes, Jeff has.

BUT when you remove the existing light units you'll find they're already sitting on nice new Jeff-produced seals.....

The rear side markers are also sitting on nice new Jeff-produced seals too

David

Ah yes, sorry, she never had one and I kept my spare I'd been carrying in her...meant to mention that to you!

David

Was wondering what engine Seymour has. Being a Phase 1 on a G-plate with plain B-pillar covers I'd have thought it was a B18E. Although it seems to have the inlet manifold from the later B18FP? I suppose whether it has a catalytic converter or not will be the giveaway. :? /nerd_mode_off :lol: Remem...

Great work Colm, so good to see R3 in good hands with the steady push towards perfection continuing!

Brilliant work Jeff, as always. And having seen Seymour recently I know how good he's looking!
