Please save our 480 from the scrap man

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.

Please save our 480 from the scrap man

Hello. I've joined the forum to let members know that we have regretfully listed our 480 Celebration on Ebay as spares or repair. It has been dry stored for 10 years and we have recovered it with a view to fixing it up and getting it back on the road. However, it won't start and it is beyond our capabilities to do what is required to get it running and roadworthy. Also we have 5 other cars here so we need the space. It is red metallic, number 310, and is located in County Durham.

very likely just to be the fuel pump stopping it from starting - they don't do well being stood for long periods of time.

We had also feul problemen, fix feulpomp, relais, 1 zekering, 1 krukassensor. And it drives again. Now price is not €650 but €1650,- and still climming. So if you want to sell so lowbudget. Ok. But not driveing is in Nederland already starting at 1650, i wich you scraps part it. I could need the left side char. And leder doorpannels, back lights. Fog lights.
