A half leather Jaquard (green with pattern) sold on Ebay last month for £160 + £40 P+P. The thread is somewhere in this forum.


They are rare and expensive.


Good luck Mate

sounds like an electrical short of some kind mate. Not to clued up on this sort of thing but it might be worth chekcing your CEM (under the bonnet release plate passenger footwell) for loose/shorted connections.

I am sure somene on here will be able to help mate so dont dispair!

Shit that is sooo much money
70K miles and still sooo expensive!!

No i dont love my 480 not at the moment. Cat rattles when accelerating, brakes squeek constantly when driveing really loud, speedo is very intermittant, the lovley white paintwork is like a police fingerprint kit of my hands. I have no more money to spend on it for months :( I need to earn more mon...

Wow that is sooo much money. :o They do tend to be a bit more pricey down here in devon tho I have noticed. It must be platinum plated or something. It might be worth a look just to see why its soo expensive. John @ Volcare has been offered £4000 for his M reg Turbo GT! Maybee this adrian baker guy...

Hi mate Here goes... 1. Check the fuses, if both lights wont go up/down it is less likley to be the motors and more likley to be something like a fuse/wiring. Do the lights (bulbs not the up/down motor) go on and off properly when u change the lights from the inside of the car: i.e. does it go from:...

Its soooo satisfying when u do it

Yeah i have recently done this. Pull the hook off and undoo the screw.

THen there is a HUGE alan key socket which you need to undo i had to buy a bunch of Alan keys for £5 from kevin koopers.

When fiiitng the new one dont forget to put the spring on before the rest (like i did)

Have fun

Matt

If we could get them for say £30 + not to bad P+P i would be up for it as well. Just £70 is well too steep for an interior oddment. I could have a new timing belt fitted for £55+ Vat!!

Anyone have a spare five pounds and can read finnish?

mine does this early mornig, or when damp...after about 200-300 meters though, it seems to sort itself out. i thought it was the lambda, but it ran the same when i disconnected it. i have new leads on though, so i would have thought it would cure it......maybe a liberal spraying of some kind of wat...

I have a simmilar problem. Before the MOT it used to squeek occasionally whilst driving along and stop under braking or hard accelerating. I expected the problem to be sorted as i had 4x new pads and 2x rear discs as well. It was in fact worse. The man at the garage wants it back after acouple of hu...

Sorry to hear about your trouble. Extra stress is the last thing you need before exams. My 480 Judders badly in the wet, John the guy from Volcare says they short out from leads 3+4 which are very close together. Maybee some nice new leads and a bit of creative insulating would do the trick? Matt PS...

Oh!

I thought it was another 480 feature that the doors closed on your shins. Well i live and learn.

Milosz_480 said: I found the sensor. First remove starter. then you must crawl under the car and remove a pice of meatl that protectssome rubers from heat of exhaust pipe. And then a pair of tiny hands and you're done. I had to sat on the engine to reach screw that holds the sensor. Thanks, I think ...

Its true....

Its just like my girlfriend.
It causes me endless hassle and effort but its worth it and i dont think i could go back to ever not woning one. Watch out gremlins - i'm comming for you!!
