480 for spares/repair - no MOT due to play in steering rack

Moggy · Post by **Moggy** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 10:34 am

Anyone want a 1987 Volvo 480 1.7ES for parts/repair. Failed MOT due to play in steering rack (which I am told has no adjustment) and brakes (which require adjustment).

Cracking car which has never let me down. Starts first time, every time and drives fine. Engine has c.120k on it. Currently in central London.

Â£100 to a good home, otherwise Volvo heavan awaits.

I will have to drop in and see this new red 480 !

But anyways you need to come down London and see me.

I think three 480's is my limit (I'd have the TT on ebay if I had the money)
Could be a good fixer upper for someone though. (I could fix it for someone at a reasonable rate

)
