Sounds rough chris. (I know posting freq is lo on this thread!)
I'm onto a Saab 9-3 Tid for my shed now. Few saabs seem to spring up in ex 480 owners hands looking at this!

Re: Where i went (carwise) after my beloved 480..
what is the reliability like on those. they can be picked up quite cheap. is it volvo or mitsubishi engine.Murf wrote:Very very nice!
I sold my s40 2 litre turbo as it was a bit too refined!
Instead i now have this little beauty!
S40 T4, chipped and very very quick!
Still have my MR2 as well, although its hibernating due to the snow/salt!
the mark 2 drives lovely, pretty much the same as ford underneath, though im sceptical of who designed what. i think ford learned a lot from volvo.

It was shit, to sum it up! Maybe i just got a bad one but it's put me right off the V/S series.
Ive got a 2001 Seat Ibiza TDi sport for my runabout now, German reliability all the way!
Got to flog it though and buy a 4 door Golf, need pram space......
