I'm still waiting for some paper-work that was sent to me via DHL. Not holding my breath - it was 1988.

Re: 480 Turbo on YouTube
Ref: WillC9303 Will - I drive, or shall do when it gets warmer and I can fix its little(!) problems, a 480 turbo auto and I love it. I've prefered to drive an auto for a number of years but my preference can, probably, be put down to my age. Mind you, it has been 'roboued' which helps put the smile ...

Re: The Bean Counter theory
Looks good, but could be a bit of a so-&-so to keep clean, don't you think?

Jay-Kay-Em - thanks for the info.
If fine tomorrow will have a go at the car.

Re: 480 Turbo Exhaust
Ordered - thanks Jeff, don'tknow how I missed that one.
Just one niggle. The company say it's suitable for an 88KW engine but not suitable for a 90KW engine.
How do I check/confirm which engine is installed in my car?
Any takers?

480 Turbo Exhaust
Has anybody, in the last couple of years, bought an exhaust system for a 480 Turbo? A corroded exhaust rendered my car an MOT failure. As I’ve not managed to locate a Turbo exhaust system, in desperation, I’ve obtained a bog-standard system but now I have questions. What will happen to the performan...

No Fluid to Rear Brakes
My car is an auto turbo built in 1991.
The local garage is trying to service it for an MOT.
One of the problems they've come across, is there is no fluid feed to the rear brakes.
Has anybody any advice / information / whatever, please?
Could it be something to do with the dreaded Teves unit?

Re: Replacement (?) Rear Silencer
I've ordered the cheapest item (it only needs to last a year or so).
As my garage is only a 'parking' one, the local garage will be asked to install it.
I'll let you know how much cussin was involved.
Thanks.

Re: Replacement (?) Rear Silencer
Thanks jifflemon.
Your last post was most illuminating.
I had checked all the places you indicated.
However, whenever I performed the 'comparability' check, all returned as 'Not suitable for a turbo (or words to that effect).

Replacement (?) Rear Silencer
My Robou’d 480 turbo auto failed the MOT on several counts which I'm working through. One I thought easy to fix was a corroded exhaust rear silencer. However, after spending hours trawling the Internet, I’ve come to the conclusion that such an item is unobtainium, so I’m considering installing a bas...

Parts Book
My 480 has a turbo engine
In the Partsbook, entries for turbo engines appear such as:
(3344009) and P/No.9031154-9 and TURBO, ENG -14055.
Can anybody tell me what the -14055 means or refers to?
If it is a Serial No., where do I find it?
In anticipation: Thanks.
