Door latch

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...

Door latch

Post by ozturbo » Fri Apr 15, 2011 1:56 pm

Can anyone tell me if the door latches on the 480 are the same as a 440? Mine appears to have broken and the door won't stay closed.

Nope they are diffrent. 480 locks wont work with a 440. look on ebay pleanty of 440's going to the knackers yard now. if i had known i would of taken the ones from my 440 before i scrapped it.

ozturbo needs a 480 mechanism for his 480 which is very rare in Oz I have just packaged up a 480 mechanism for posting tomorrow. :lol:

admittedly the previous posts are misleading it fooled me as well ;) but we have corresponded via pm's so I now know what he needs.

Thanks guys. Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to differentiate between the the lock you put the key in and the part that closes the door. Anyway, Jim is looking after me very well. I love the internet because it is no longer a problem owning a rare car. I can get the mechanical bits that are the same as a 440 here because there are a fair few of those around and anything else I want I can get from you guys very quickly. Not many years ago that would have been a big problem.
