the miltek site say it has lifetime* but when go to small print it is as most are, guaranteed for the original purchaser only & not transferable

 

Indeed it does look a nice example Jim! I wonder who's it is

9 times out of ten it has to be fitted by an approved garage aswell so you would have to add fitting costs to the exhaust price to get the warranty where as custom built are done on the car so no extra cost. Why would you not go custom built?

It does seem that a like for like custom exhausts work out cheaper than an off the shelf exhaust. It certainly did when I got one built for the zafira. Plus I doubt you'll get a life time warranty.

Let me know how you get on would like to have the original clocks in her.

Yep exactly that. Ah was gonna pull the old clocks apart to see if there was a broken connection but if you have tried i will leave it. Looks like we have saved each other wasted time.

That's what I thought it was at first and spent ages tracing earths checking connections everything but no luck. Changed the cluster and all worked. It's not down to a bad earth.

I wouldn't recommend thread lock on wheel bolts just the correct torque setting. Wheel bolts are designed to tighten as the wheels go round so that added to thread lock could seize the bolts in place.

Had the same issue. You will need to change the clocks as that is what's gone wrong.

Just had exactly the same issue. Time for a new set of clocks. Mines also a 92 G60.

Fair play. Pm me if all is good.

Robrado would you be interested in selling one of your looms? Hope you don't think it's cheeky asking.

Finally got the new alarm fitted yesterday so now have a little more confidence when leaving it parked anywhere. She has only been sorn for 2 weeks and missing driving her already oh well she will be back on the road for December.

Would my G60 clutch set up be the same as a vr6?

It can also be a sign of the clutch fork bending, i've had it happen twice now.

What is involved with changing the clutch fork? Is it a big job?

Did you just use the motor or the whole mk3 mechanism?

Has it just started doing it or has it always been like that? Sounds like we have the same issue.

I'm having a issue with my clutch not sure if it's the same issue but I have to really push down on the clutch to stop the gears grinding at low speed esp going into reverse. It feels like the pedal needs to be brought up a touch.

I would look at everything going that way you get a chance to compare. I did.

Little change in plans now after yet another flat tyre on the wife's car it was the last straw so we have decided to break it for spares never again will I buy another vauxhall. So the plan is to use Corby as the family daily while I use the money we save to restore her mk1 cabbie. Then once the mk1's done full strip down and re spray is on the cards for Corby.

Also fitted the new clocks I got from lilfuzzer cheers dude. So for the first time since buying her I now have a rev counter and clock that works the only test left is to see if the speedo works but can't at the mo as it's sorn and I can't be bother to jack it up to test it. I never thought I would be so happy to watch a rev counter go up and down. It's the little victories that are the best sometimes. But on the down side I broke both the covers for the screws in the corner of the clock facia. Boo. Also the water temp light is now flashing which it didn't before. So I'm not sure if it's the clocks or more likely the car itself as I doubt that light worked in the first place as only the temp and petrol worked on the old clocks. Any suggestions on how to find out which one it is.

Nice one will keep it in mind if I do manage to sorce some.

Just sent message to awesome to see if they have them in stock will post if I get a reply.

I agree with you on that but Corby is about to become our daily as I have given up trying to keep the wife's car running and she wants new mirrors and the amount she lets me spend on the car I haven't really got a leg to stand on. Plus it's a safety feature and I have spent more money on sillier thing.

DDI are Dub Design Industries...

Cheers jim. Do these come straight from America or is there a uk supplier?

hmmm I think only summer can help with increasing vision

 

these wet & misty days often make it difficult to see the mirror itself out of the window ;) LOL

Lol don't think I explained that very well. The ddi mirrors help by giving a wider view over standard mirrors I'm guessing by using a different shape/angle. the link jim just posted explains it a lot better than I can

Hoping someone can advise me as to where I can buy the ddi mirrors that increase the vision. Have seen some on ebay but not sure if they are the correct ones as I have read that people have bought these and not been happy with the quality. Is ddi a brand name or type of mirror?
