Volvo 480 Club Europe

*127M** see every other week on Dansteed Way but am always in my company car so can't wave without looking like a numpty / nutter

As above - large circular crankshaft radial oil seal bought some time ago from Volvo in error for £18+vat. For the clutch side.
£6 to include postage


Someone might find useful ?

Can't find the earlier post or am I looking in the wrong place?

You have a PM

Very good. They obviously thought that the Matra Rancho was going to be the next thing and got their inspiration from that !

Does make you wonder what you could turn a 480 into

Let me know how you achieved this please !!

Now back to:-

Pulsing (dancing) tacho and revcounter which makes no sense to me as the Volvo specialist said they are two different feeds? (And no Info centre)

Ideas

Ulrika As you stand by the driver's side wing, looking towards the windscreen at the triangular relay box, the point of the triangle is nearer the engine, the side with 4 relay positions in it is nearest the wing. The top left hand corner should be empty (it's for the auxiliary water pump which the...

Thanks to both.

Ah Ulrika I had fitted one to EACH side as then i could use either or both depending on application eg getting Rear wheel drive cars moving in the snow :-) I love the idea of you towing new rear wheel drive BMW and Mercs out of the snow in a 20 year old Volvo novelty ! :crazy: Make sure you take a ...

I had a session of my instruments suddenly all dying, then coming back again...not quite the same as your problems perhaps, but similar? Anyway, after trying all sorts of things I found that the Relay to wiring circuit C was faulty - replaced it and everything was fine afterwards and has been since...

Anyone any similar experiences or bright ideas that might be worth a go ?

... as per previous reply. Not available and hard to come by in a refurbishable condition, but you'll get one eventually.

Ok here we go (1993 2.0):- 1. Instruments were originally ok apart from a dim but otherwise working infocentre. (Receipt for new Volvo speedo fitted by dealer 5 years ago) 2. From time to time speedo and rev counter needles both 'danced' together and then both woud die after a while 3. Intermittent ...

Best doing a search on here, but Golf Mk III's and back to front Volvo 440's (I think) have been mentioned.

Rear drop links are really quite cheap - try Partsforvolvosonline.com.

Bought, fitted, no more rattles!

My 95 Celeb' squeeks and rattles from the rear at low speeds and I'm just intrested to know if there's a common failing on them like certain bushes etc or am I going to have to have a look on the ramp with a pry bar for myself? Rear drop links ? My offside rattled despite nothing being 'obviously w...

Be prepared for a long haul on the rear bumper innards as they are notoriously rot-worthy. I found a serviceable one from an ex-owner on here a couple of years ago that I refurbed myself. This was after scouring several scrap yards, crawling under back bumpers with a torch and eventually giving up a...

My other car has a supercharger with 330bhp. It tends to like a drink though, especially when its cold weather
Still I've never had so many Nectar points

I had this problem. Part of the underbonnet soundproofing is breaking up (from being wet and/or oily) and is finding its way through the air vents. I tore off the section that was decaying and will replace it when it moves further up my priority task list ! Just be careful as there are some earthing...
