Re: airbag fault, any ideas?
I had the same fault after disconnecting the steering wheel airbag. I'd driven about with it disconnected until I got to the bottom of an intermittent wiper problem. After connecting the wheel back up using the green plug, I erased the error using the procedure here http://www.am.torun.pl/~ja/volvo/...

Re: Front Shocks, Springs, Ride Height etc
Check out the story of blinky. When Arthuy replaced the front suspension on that, he had problems. Don't know if they are the same.

Nice, so are the 3 480s parked together?
Did I see snazzy mirror in the hub nut tour? Next to a susuki camper?

Re: Nilani on Tour - With Headgear!!
Looks great, enjoy your trip.

Reminds me of the time we took the 480, with 4 of us and camp gear to the Snetterton btcc night races. Fun times

There were also a few brown wires, that looked like they melted a little. I'm about to look for the relay part numbers, but if an...

Re: Wipers and door mirrors
Replacement stalk received, cleaned and fitted - Still nothing. Had another look at the fuses and both seemed fine. Took the relays under the bonnet out one by one and cleaned and fitted - just in case. Nothing. The arthury offered me another CEM - so hopefully we can try that out soon. Hoping to ge...
