Last minute parts request

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...

For the crank sensor and distributor cap I would suggest Mister Auto or AutoDoc‎. Neither are particularly specialist parts. I like Valeo for ignition parts on these cars. On eBay the seller 'volvoyoungtimers' has some new crank sensors for sale for the turbo model but you could probably get these from Mister Auto or AutoDoc also. 

I seem to remember DCWalker has offered LHD‎ lights to you?

Maybe Brinkie in NL can help with ignition relays?‎

I’ll look into those sites right away.

Messages seem to have fell through with DCWalker, but maybe I’ll try again.

Yes, please! Mine seems to be leaking into the passenger floorboard. PM me or text, as the notifications on here sometimes go to my spam.

I think you might have to be careful as to whether your crank sensor has two or three wires. Or I could have just imagined this little fact, not sure!‎

What do you mean with "ignition relays"? You have to be more specific, preferrably using the original Volvo part numbers so we've a clue what you need.

Headlights are standard 5"x7" because Volvo had the US in mind when they were designing the car. Look on eBay for Jeep Cherokee headlights, they're also used in trucks, even available in LED. If the clips that hold the headlight in its adjusters are broken, they can be replaced with a BMW part (BMW part number 63121369833)

No idea why our messages are falling through but they do seem a bit random...

I still have the LHD set of lights, they are still yours if you want them.

I will PM you now with my mobile number - send me a text with your address and I'll get them off asap and let you know the postage costs.

Hope that helps!
