Instrument cluster required

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...

Would anyone have a celebration instrument cluster and the dash surround for sale?

Thanks.

Assuming you have a cluster that is malfunctioning, it's better to send it off to brinkie in the netherlands for a refurb than buy another one that could go wrong at any time. I expect he will put a post on here next time he's online.
If by any chance you don't have a cluster, there are 7 or 8 lurking in my garage - all bought before I found out they could be refurbed, all got problems, all need a holiday abroad. Brinkie will tweak all functions and warning lights to suit the car they are to go in.
The dash surrounds are an ongoing problem - despite years of trying to get unbroken ones, our 4 cars only have one perfect surround between them. Currently it is with WR Components who are attempting to make a mould from it, but it's a very complicated shape and proving extremely difficult. If they do succeed I'll be posting details on here.

Thanks Sylvia.

I've just purchase a front spoiler from Wayne, so good to know he might be able to sort the dash surround also.

The instrument cluster is for a friend who uses his car daily and wants to keep his cluster in while getting a 2nd refurbed by Robert. Would you be willing to sell a cluster suitable for a celebration?

I'll have a look and see what warning lights are on them - they will mostly be from late 2 litre models but Robert will adjust anything that is wrong for a Celebration anyway. I'll pm you.
