Sorry mate, but in that case the haynes manual is wrong, the map sensor on a turbo is inside the ECU, and the bit with three pipes going to it bolted to the bulkhead is the boost control solenoid.
And anyway, didn't you buy mine off e-bay? I'm sure I sent it to Barnstaple (to be honest I could have dropped it off in my lunch hour!) I clearly advertised it correctly as a boost control solenoid.....

Edit2 - yes, you did Think you got a bargain there at Ã‚Â£2.99 all in!

I live near Burnham-on-Sea, but I work in South Molton, (hence my high mileage!) so I sometimes pop into Barnstaple for stuff on my lunch hour...

Cept I no longer have a 480 any more....I've got a car with a real engine now!

It might have a V8, a huge cubic capacity, 4 wheel drive, loadsa gismo's, and be ultra reliable....... but honestly, does it have as much character as the 480?

i think not.

I have to admit, when I see a 480, which isn't very often now, and I'm doing 36k per year, I do think "awww"

I thought you might, it makes me smile seeing a 480 aswell, sooo much character, reckon u'l end up with another at some point.

my personal views on the 480 are thats its as ugly as sin.

from the back its lovely but wen u look at the front its just a disaster

baywatch at the bak

No offence mate, but....look at your car!

I doubt I'll get another 480 tbh, I spent several years getting all the best bits - palm beach, leather, unfaded clusters etc etc, and sold it all last year - doubt I would find another one the same nowadays.
