Volvo 480 Club Europe

Okay, so recently been creating a shopping list for parts over the last week and a half since I became a proud owner of one of these amazing cars First of all, a little info about the car to try and aid anyone who may be able to help; the car is now believed to be a 1994 ES 2.0i, 5 speed manual, 319-1 paint code which seems to be not too bad as the car isn't rotten in the usual places for a classic car as the previous owner unfortunately passed away in 2015 after falling ill while the car was having its MOT, the car sat for 5 years at the garage until recently. The only rust is on the rear side of the driver's door which may be repairable, and a small golf ball sized hole on the drivers-side front wing. As such the parts I will need are the aforementioned wing, possibly door (I will update on this but if anyone has one it would be good to know in advance lol), boot floor carpet, radio unit and plug from loom to radio unit, driver's door mirror housing plastics, and I am also in dire need of advice of how to remove a snapped gar linkage ball join which passed through the selector arm and sits in a slot on the bell-housing as mine is completely stuck from corrosion and the circlip is impossible to remove.

So, Gear linkage:



Where about is it stuck?

Radio Loom: I'm guessing the existing loom has been sliced off?

Just grab something like this and wire it in.

May not be an exact match for your car interior but I have a spare boot carpet...whereabouts are you?

The image Jeff has given is for the gear linkage remote what you need is that for the selector assembly. I cannot post pictures as I am only a Newbie. From my experience even when the ball joint link is intact it can be very challenging to remove as the nylon bush in the gearbox casing gets distorted, so I would think the remedy would be to melt it in order to remove the broken part. The good news is Renault parts are readily available to repair the selector mechanism.
