Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Hello,
My 480 failed the MOT due to SRS light staying on. My local garage has had a look and says the contact reel is the cause so I need to find one asap. Does anyone have one??
Part Number 3471919
Thanks

Don't suppose it's shared with any of the later models?
Having a google, but not having much joy!

The 440/460 from MY 1994 onwards have the same airbag system, back in the days when it wasn't made out of unobtainium, it was 125 Euro a piece already...
But I can design a circuit that lights the SRS lamp for a moment and then turns off, so the MOT technician will be tricked to believe the airbag system is functional. (Same you can do for faulty ABS units)

Rachel I have just replied via FB, sorry don't have one despite having boxes full of stuff.
Robert seems to have a good alternative if we all fail to help find one for you.
Good luck Trevor

Thank you for the reply Rob. I will keep searching for a bit. I could do with it very soon though as me MOT retest is only 10 days

Great! Just take the bulb out and you'll be OK for MOT

Rachel, do you still need one of these? Just thinking there's a few late model 440's down at Lakes and I'm due a visit there sometime soon I'm sure!

Hiya - thank you so much but I do now have one from a 440. Not fitted yet but looks to be in good condition.
Thanks for thinking of us
