Re: hey again from an oldie
Any oldies kicking around still? Sold my last 480 in 2007! Seem a little rarer now - I owned 6 in total (first was bought in 2005 at the age of 18)...5 of which were bought for under £150 :D Gone are the days where you had to pay to get rid of an MOT failure! Been in company cars most recently (afte...

Re: hey again from an oldie
Just thought I would pop by and say Hi!
Missing my 480 a lot, but time now being taken up by my Saab 9-5. It just doesn't go wrong though!
I'll probably be making the switch to a 2000-2010 diesel this month though - my mileage has increased and I need the economy.
Boo!

Re: So whos bought M427 TFC then,mine and Roo's old Turbo?
This is a bit of an old school meet up! Hello all. Currently driving a Saab 9-5. Miss the 480's, but just don't have the time for them anymore. I will one day though!

Re: Where i went (carwise) after my beloved 480..
Well I went to a 406 TD which was very unreliable but not a bad car. Then i got the Saab 9000 which was great but was starting to feel a little antiquated. Got a Rover 420 for a dirt cheap hack which I drove for 6 months and sold on for a £200 profit. Then i got given an old MK3 Astra diesel which ...

On the rear I'm not sure. just check buypartsby.co.uk and cross check part numbers to see what modelos interchange. I think (this is from memory of about 4 years!) there are just hub / no hub normal discs and then vented discs. I imagine yours will be normal discs, no hub. Just make sure that you re...

The problem is that i tried to jump it off a huge rental van that pulled up outside my house. it wasn't very successful and smoke started to come off the connectors even though they seemed to be on correctly. I Are you sure you had the cables the right way round on the van? Smoke suggests you didn'...

Me and Chris removed a bolt I had chewed up equally, if not worse, using a tight Britool 6 sided socket and a large breaker bar. I applied force against the socket to keep it on the bolt, and with chris undid it. if you have an assistant, give it a go. The sideways force of your assistant should sto...
