What's the difference between an a/c and non-a/c power steering pump? As new ones are still available, with a 5-rib pulley: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/8156292 and new brake calipers are also still available: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/12747549 (though I don't like the quality) The Non-AC ...

Thanks Jeff!!!

Hi everyone - for a 1994 480 ES, I need a Power Steering Pump (the non air con version) and a drivers side rear brake caliper.

I am based in the Southampton/Portsmouth area, but would be prepared to drive a reasonable distance to collect.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks James - Facebook Marketplace is a strange world, especially when it comes to cars

It's going James - quite a few time wasters, but that was to be expected really.

Fortunately I am in no big rush to sell my 480 and I am looking forward to taking it over to the Isle of Wight in a couple of weeks time.

Normally, I would say everyone else is welcome to join us, but I've yet to speak to Weston Manor. I was hoping to combine a personal visit with another trip, but our week went completely haywire so it will have to be a phone call. Until I have spoken to them, I have no idea if they might have a fun...

Some time ago Jaster suggested a photoshoot of GTs at Weston Manor, to recreate the photos in the GT sales brochure: https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/480/gtbrochure1.jpg https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/480/gtbrochure2.jpg The proposed date is Sunday 24th July. Weston Manor is north of Oxford, near...

Just thought I'd document my research here as I can't find a single trace on Google about it. This only started by me trying to find some original main dealer number plates for my 480. However, some new cars don't need a main dealer. Be it press cars for Volvo's own use, or big supply contracts lik...

Thanks David - I read too many fairytale descriptions of 480s when I was looking for one. I wouldn't do that to someone else. I believe my description is both honest and accurate. I am in no huge rush to sell and I would like it to go to someone who will look after it and enjoy it. I know that was c...

https://i.postimg.cc/0Qr2sMM6/vlcsnap-2021-07-26-23h13m16s242.jpg Those are not genuine Norwegian license-plates. All legal marks are missing and the letters DG have not been issued. Watched it yesterday. Not a bad film - amazing to see not 1 but 2 480s! From the credits it looks like Croatia and t...

"This coal won't clean itself" I think Jeff has posted many before photos but I took a couple to add: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AM-JKLWjcaGvr1thZ_uD4fWTq6pyBeBI-HqkkrrzNGj8AuDmT9BZm0SKGStbwFZ6O3LUAAkEmkH37CzCKPdeFMMsdefxJC7jEhF2ii5D-2jiEpHY_Wj8HwX6k0N_-j3aKaCSuC61n6ri6OlmRB4181r4iBDt=w81...

The video is a great idea

Don't forget to add "don't expect the factory fitted sunroof to work"

Depends who you buy from!

Don't mention rear screen washers

The only issues I’ve had since covid has been people using Hermes! They’ve successfully failed to deliver 100% of my orders, which is why I know include a message on all purchases saying do not use Hermes to ship!

Hermes are abysmal......

Make sure you find somewhere that takes the manufacturer code into account (the number after the dash on the paint code). This is because Volvo used 2 different manufacturers for Flame Red and the colour is noticably different. If you just order 322 you might get the wrong one. Thanks Sylvia - I ha...

Any suggestions for the best UK based suppliers for Flame Red paint please (322)?
