Spacers
I've always felt that the wheels on 480's need spacing out about 15mm to an inch to get nearer to the wheel arch. They seem to sit too far inboard if you know what I mean. Has anyone added spacers to their wheels to bring them out a bit? If so did it work ok, what did you use, did the wheel bearings...

Re: Project Volvo 480 Electrical Gremlins Galore
If your CEM is kaput, there's a guy who lives in Billingham near me, who can repair them. All he needs to know is which function isn't working and a few days to turn it around.

Re: North East (England) Meet
Confirmed date is 16th.
Will be meeting somewhere near Darlington, I suggest the Scotch Corner Hotel, for a trip to Richmond, then up through the dales, stopping at Tan Hill (Britain's Highest pub) and then through some more dales returning to Scotch Corner or home or whatever.
More info soon.

Re: Any information?
The Volvo museum closed and they are opening a new "Word of Volvo" in Gothenburg in April. If you're going in March you'll be disappointed.
I reckon you'll need to book tickets in advance at WoV.

North East (England) Meet
Just wondering if anyone is interested in a North East Meet up. Maybe at the Motorist at Sherburn in Elmet, or NC500 near Pickering?
How many North East owners are there?
If there's interest, I'll try to organise something

Re: Oil leak
Hi Jay,
I'll take it off and replace the O ring at some point, I've got plenty in the garage.
I'm not sure where the oil is coming from yet, I'll have to take a good look over the weekend but thanks for heads up o the turbo oil feed pipe, I'll be sure to check that.

Re: Oil leak
Cheers Alan.
I've just managed to get a ring spanner on the 2 bolts and tightened them 1/2 to 3/4 turn each so hopefully that should nip it up a bit.
