Some things just can't be placed elsewhere. Have you been speeding and got fined? Or spotted a nice new Volvo on the web somewhere? All non-480 messages can be posted in this part of the board.

My trusty old camper's MOT runs out in July and it is going to need a lot of welding for its next MOT.
This is the off-topic section so hope it's okay to post here. I'm quite sad too see Renné the Renault go but hopefully someone can give it a second chance at life.

Since it’s a Renault, are you able to transfer its engine into a 480?

No, but I did used to dream of having a B18FT in it whenever it reached a hill

Afternoon James.
Your old camper has disappeared from e-bay.
What happened? Sell it in one day?

Yes, he sold the next day with an advert elsewhere. I thought I would struggle but there was a lot of interest. I think I probably sold him a little to cheap but at least he's gone to an enthusiastic guy who will get the welding done.
