Volvo 480 Club Europe

Hi,

I have a 1993 L reg Volvo 480 for breaking. It has only covered 52k miles and the majority of parts are fully working.

Let us know what your after and I will get back to you with pics etc.

Unable to put a picture up at the moment as it won't let me add the link.

Thanks
Josh

Hello

I sent a PM

Is there any way to post a photo other than copy the link from photo bucket?

Wont let me post the link as im a new user and it looks to "spammy".

Celebration number - 236 of 480

i will pm you, thanks

I'd like a passenger side electric window switch and lower of the two little plastic trims that attach to the handbrake lever and stop sweets falling into the mechanism.

Where are you based, if your near to me it might be worth a trip over for some bigger components!

Best

Tim

Hi Tim,

Il get some picture of the parts and send them to you.

I'm based in cornwall.

Thanks
Josh

Thanks Josh, looks like we are staying postal then as I'm up in Blackpool- any chance you could also get me a set of dashboard screws (there are 6 I think, Im getting by on 4) and instrument pod screws two each side, Im down to 2 total? and a drivers door pocket if yours is perfect (mine has a crack

PM the £ for the bundle if you like?

Best

Tim

can I add 4 of the lager screws that hold on the nose cone and front wings to my order, I'm not sure whats holding my 480 together to be honest!

There are only 2 screws. There are 4 holes in the instrument pod to cover LHD and RHD cars but they are only used on one side, the other side slides into a plastic holder.

Assuming the design was never changed to what I have.

Tim - it does sound as if you are hanging together with a minimum of screws: where have they all gone?? Hopefully replacing them all will resolve a few of the rattles that you must have...

Eye of Ra is quite right; on a RHD car only two screws hold the instrument binnacle in place on its right hand side. The left hand side just slots into the bracket it sits in.

Hi all

I have PMed Glasgowjim on how to remove a rear window already but there is a hole in my window seal (rear passenger side on UK car), do you have the part by any chance?

Thanks in advance

According to Vadis the seal is not a separate part so the whole window will need to be replaced.

It’s not difficult to remove (not but one back in yet) and should not be too difficult to source.

The seal is indeed integral to the rear side windows.

It took me less than 30 seconds to remove one but about 4 minutes to replace it.

such is life

You start at the rear bottom part of window where the broad rubber bit is....... with the rear boot lid up so that you can get access to both inside and outside surfaces

Hi Everyone,

I'm going back to my parents tomorrow to get some more parts out and cleaned up so will have a look and get some pictures of the bits everyone has asked for. Will check all the screws but pretty sure I still have them.

Will be getting the interior out and the centre console with cup holders out and cleaned as well as all the trim pieces. If anyone wants any pictures of bits, let me know.

Thanks

Every time I try and fix the info center I seem to have a little collateral damage The nose was a surprise even to me tho!

Thanks everyone,

Tim

This is my next thing to try:

Anti Rattle tape!

Probably won't help, but every little helps!

Hi do you have the front wiper linkage and wiper blades available? The splines have striped off of mine coming home yesterday.
Thanks mary

Hi, a little ambitious, but I need a headlamp strut (offside if it makes a difference), two sidelight bulb holders, speedo transponder and both rear light covers if they're in better condition than mine and you can get them off? Hope to hear from you!

Hello Glasgow Jim,
I am looking for a Transducer Sensor Speedo Unit at Gear Box for a Volvo 480 ES 2Litre, do you happen to have this part or could you point me in the right direction as to who might be able to supply one, PN: 3465487
Thanks
