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.

Merry Christmas, one and all.

After dinner with family I went down to the garage and finally changed my idle valve.

Now revs are static. At 1800... :kill:

Merry Christmas to everyone!

Merry Christmas everyone!

After over 2 years since I sold my last 480 (Celebration 73/480, aka Morwenna) and saying that she would be my third and last 480, I couldn't resist the suggestion of taking on Steve (doingitsideways)'s 480 (no 269) as a full restoration project.

So yet again I have a 480 on the driveway so shall start joining in on here again.

Unfortunately when I sold Morwenna I was convinced that was the end, so I let her go complete with cupholder armrest, pollen filter, genuine mudflaps....as well as either selling or giving away most of my stash of spares. So it's back to begging/hoping/wishing etc etc as and when bits are needed! Still, all part of the fun!

Very best to everyone on here!!
