Breaking Volvo 480 Turbo

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

OK, re-other thread, Im thinking of moving my celeb over to turbo vented disks, so how are the brakes and what bits do you have available?

How about the boost control solenoid?
