1990 Volvo 480 ES review from UK and Ireland
"A fun gamble if you are lucky"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lights stop working for no reason. Horn starts for no reason, requiring a quick fuse pull before permanent ear damage. If you leave the car for more than 1 day, you will need a jump start. Alternator failed. Indicators stopped working. Pop up headlights move up and down for no reason... etc etc.
General comments?
Nice to drive,comfortable but totally unreliable.
