Sounds like your engine is dragging air in from somewhere - check your inlet manifold & gasket.

I doubt that would make a difference, sounds like you have a leak in the pipe that feeds the MFA... I doubt it will be that simple - leaking vacuum pipe will cause the MFA to over-read, 99.9mpg is the usual. Sounds more like a partially blocked pipe or electronic fault.

Get a black front badge instead of a silver one - looks much better IMO.

Coolant leak! Could someone host a 3gp vid for me?

If the impeller in your waterpump is knackered - it won't be circulating the water properly. This is one possibility for your heater not to work properly & your engine to run warmer than usual. I would suggest that these problems are related. -
VR6 ones get my vote

They're currently installing a very similar system in Leeds at the moment. All the Gantry's are in place - don't think the system's live yet though. -

Rules to be Changed for Setting Speed Limits
stevemac replied to martinholmesuk's topic in General Car Chat
I would say that's a "complete load of bollocks", aimed at extracting more speeding fines from safe drivers who travel at speeds appropriate to the road conditions. :mad: -

Doubt he'll be using aerosol spray though

Here's a piccy of the linkage (throttle body is pictured upside down) Logically speaking, the correct adjustment of this lever should be that when the throttle is held wide open - the boost bleed flap should be fully closed. Many G60's no longer fully close this bleed flap - caused by wear in the nylon sockets on each end of the linkage. The joints become loose & as a result, the flap does not fully close.

Don't use the sprays - they're sh1te The spray coating will soon begin to wear away & leave a nasty 2 tone finish ... :pukeright:

Stamped service book doesn't really make much difference IMO. What does make a difference is making sure that the correct jobs are done on each service.
