Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Hi All,

Thought i would say hello, I've just become a member after picking up my 480s last weekend. Taxed it this week and started driving it yesterday.

Must say, It's Great. loving it.

Did have a little problem with my pop-ups but after scanning your forum it turned out to be a driving light with a corroded socket. Cleaned and replaced the bulb anyway and all working fine again.

I've got a 91' 480S. blue with cloth interia.

look forward to sorting problems out with you all in the future.

Ian

Not really, I live in Tunbridge Wells, but if you ever want to see what a Turbo is like, give us a shout.
