Re: Selling my 480 Celebration #276 (now with added photos)
Just giving more information regarding my 480.... Despite the rust on the main leading edges, the inner wings are decent and been rust proofed. On the passenger side, the lower section next to the sill has corroded and needs patching in, but I believe you can buy these parts on Skandix. The boot is ...

Re: Wanted : Alternator tension nut/assembly, 2.0ltr auto
Hi David, I have never noticed the tensioner before. However the fan belt gave way last year and I got it replaced and no one said about a tensioner being missing, or not there... The fan belt had always squealed from start up, to running a/c or growing down the gears. To me, it sounds like it was p...

Wanted : Alternator tension nut/assembly, 2.0ltr auto
How'd you fellow 480 owners! I'm in a bit of a pickle and need this part ASAP. My smaller fan belt snapped on my 480. Now, the belt configuration is different from the standard set up as I have air-con as the smaller belt drives the a/c unit and the power steering pump. So, to my knowledge it was al...

Re: Volvo 480 2.0l Celebration "Breaking" all parts availabl
Hi there! I have a 2.0ltr celebration and I'm looking for the auxiliary fan belt tensioner for the smaller, secondary belt that powers the alternator and a/c unit. Mines has broken off after a monumental fault... Can't seem to source one anymore online or from a dealership. Would you have this avail...

480 celebration still going strong
So this weekend my sexy swede is in getting some jobs done on it before its MOT. Nothing much neede, but the hand break cable was needing replaced and the calipers serviced to free them up a bit. As it's an auto, the last owner never used it, especially when it stood for a while after being SORN in ...

Re: Glasgowjim's spares list
Hi Jim, do you have a passenger side fog lamp for sale, or are they in pairs?
If so, how much for each or individual?

Re: 480 pictures of parts you tend not to see.
See for the speed sensor, is it located on the same place for a 2.0ltr auto?
I want to put mines back in after getting it fixed ( I hope) as it's had exposed wiring and has been patched up with some insulating tape -fingers crossed it sorts it.

Re: This looks like showroom condition
What a beauty!!!
I love the original 480 like that. My dad's friend had one exactly the same on an F plate and we had a black on with red piping. Glory days indeed
Well spotted, hawk eye!

Re: New lick of paint
Wow! The wheels look immense! Great to see them contrast with the white, like that!
Got myself a white celebration model and I was looking for ideas to make it stand out but not too brash!
