I have the UK version - a great book

An excellent book. I think it was published in Dutch, English, German, French and Swedish?

I have finally signed up! I am so excited! 😊 Is there a UK convoy group which I can tag along with? What method of crossing the channel are we all using? Excellent! I am travelling via Le Shuttle (the fancy new name for Eurotunnel!) but I am heading out a week earlier to visit the Ardennes region a...

I have just booked with the online form for my father and I to attend and have made a booking request to the hotel.

Great news James! There's a Eurotunnel (now Le Shuttle) 15% off deal that ends soon.

Have drawn on the back of an envelope a graph of the numbers signed up so far each month and then drawn a line on wards until May. So I sort of calculate you will have 90 Volvo 480 owners signed to attend by May. Lets see over the coming few months if it plateaus off, keeps on its steady climb upwa...

Sorry to hear that Jeff

Works a curse!

Hello. Of the UK people signed up to attend, have any of you decided or booked up your method of crossing the channel ? Ferry from Hull seems quite expensive. Cheers, Richard. Hi Richard - I have just booked what used to be Eurotunnel from Folkestone to Calais. It's now called Le Shuttle. They have...

I'm based in Ireland where they did not sell well.

I was surprised how few I saw in Norway and Sweden - I did see one in the Faroe Islands though!

I think about 220,000 were sold world wide - almost 3 times the number of 480s. I would buy a nice low mileage petrol one if I found one.

I used to own two 480s but none at the moment unfortunately. That is unlikely to change any time soon. I'm currently driving a red C30 r-design 2.0d. I was just wondering if there were any other C30 owners on here? You rarely see them on the road where I am, I'd just be interested to speak to other...

Thanks!

I think I will go for it, especially with the winter approaching........and the Germany/Netherlands event next May!

Made from lanolin - yes, as in sheeps fleece by products! I have heard really good things about it and wondered if anyone on the board had used it to rustproof the underside of their 480? Jeff - you have recommended Bilt Hamber S50 cavity wax in the past. Does treating with Lanoguard (or something s...

Great advice Jeff - thank you so much. What about the fuel tank? Does it really matter or is it better to leave it with just a minimal amount of fuel in it over the winter period? Glad you mentioned the windows. I am lucky enough to have now found a garage, but I would not have thought of leaving th...

Thank you for the warning, not something one would think about looking for

Does anyone have any spare brackets for sale? I have a bracket less cover
