Volvo 480 Club Europe

Are you sending out from a mobile, or what? Lol yeah from my Blackberry, I wasnt driving tho I must hasten to add!! And Tyburn Road . . . Do they still talk of the ghost on Castle Bromwich Hill near there, that frightened my parents half to death in '33? - Or has the hill gone too now, in the name ...

OOO I may go to this one day!! Thanks for the link!!

Hello Amazin! And thank you Yes good job you pointed that out! I was so excited I just wrote it all down and completely forgot! But all edited now!!

just turned off now, but your reg is m*** vfc, we were on the tyburn road in brum!

Yeh the alarm arms when you lock her. Hmmm well maybe it wasnt the sensor after all! IT could even have been the draining of the battery setting the alarm off? I dont know, electrics never were my strong point and yet I always buy cars with gimmicks lol!! I dont think that you can lock and disarm th...

Yes it does by pass the ignition, like I said, was in a hurry to get to MOT lol!! As for draining the battery it may be that but within the first year of doin it I had battery drain. I oput the battery drain down to a faulty door open sensor in the bonnet or boot-cant rememeber which one now-which w...

Lol I did it so long ago I totally forgot about it, in the same way that because they were working ok I totally forgot it was something tha needed doin lol!

When I took Lula for her first MOT back in 2007 her wipers stopped working. I found a replacement stalk, it wasnt the stalk that was the problem, I tried LOADS of things and nothing, so in desperation to get thro an MOT I wired up a separate wire complete with fuse. Another 480 electrical fault! Thi...

Green M reg I think a bloke was driving, going south bound on the M40 through that stupid 50/roadworks section at exactly 4pm!

Hi all!

Im back lol!

Just wanted to know if the indicators are controlled by the CEM or a flasher unit?

If a flasher unit, where and is it a 3-pin?

Any details greatfully received!!

She is a pleasure to drive, holds the road much better than my 440, which i am surprised about She's super smooth isnt she? Which is why its always surprised me that people would choose an Escort or something similar in the same price range! She's great on cornering too, I havent driven a 440 so I ...

The drain has been sorted by jims CEM (i think!) You can pick it up and also then you can pick up Lulas front splitter which I forgot to give to you!! Could I pick up the splitter next time I'm down in the brum/cov area? probably around christmas time as i have just move into my new place in st and...

Woah hold on there! I have a CEM that you can have for free (I will check its a III)...
