Re: Celebration - AcidicDavey's Turn!!

Could look quite good Dave :)

Trouble is, if you decide it looks pants (like you do from time to time, lol) it'll probably bring off some more laquer when you remove it!

I kinda like the idea though ;)

Re: Volvo lowering springs

Hi,

How much would you estimate the total would be posted to the UK?

Also, this is for a set of 4, right??

Thanks,

Re: Volvo 480 Celebration Burgundy 1995 'N reg' Breaking Ask

Hi,

If you break it, I'll have the electric aerial if it works smoothly, rear lights if whole and uncracked/faded beyond all recognition, also clocks if the info centre works.

Oh, maybe the dash surround if it's not cracked :)

Thanks, Steve :hopping:

Anyone know the centre bore size on standard 480 wheels?

Just looking for some hubcentric spacers, there's a few to choose from @ 4x100 pcd!!

Hey Jim, Just wandering if you have any rear wiper motors? Mine's what's known in the trade as "Kiffed!" Could also do with the sealing washer where the spindle goes through the glass...

Re: Some bits & pieces free to a good home

Oh yeah,

Forgot to say, the solenoid was goosed on the T6, it was definitely lacking power.

Gotta be worth a try, the part was cheap enough and a doddle to change! ;)

Re: Some bits & pieces free to a good home

TThanks James :) The 960 is my work bus, started life as a 2.5 24v, which was ok to a point, just a bit boring. So I bought the s80 with the idea of dropping the engine in the 960, but it was far too good to break, plus it really is a nice place to be, with more toys than toys 'r' us, in fact it's c...

Re: Some bits & pieces free to a good home

Lol, yeah James, definitely got out of that one!! Well, I've never got enough money to brim iton account of running a 960 d24 (have you seen the price of diesel lately?! Good job it runs on veg oil then, lol) and an s80 t6!! It's no wonder i'm poor!! :( I use the time honoured "don't you bloody dare...
