I'm having some trouble with my windows on my '92 G60. I've read loads of the previous threads about it but still need help. On the drivers side, my window is stuck 3/4 down. When I press the switch I can hear the control box in the back click and the motor in the door makes a click too. I've checked the wires between the switch and the motor, and current is passing through when the switch is pressed, but all I get from the motor is a little click. So whats wrong? Is the motor knackered? If so can I fix it or do I need to replace it, and how the hell do you get it out of the door once you've drilled the rivets out? Any help gratefully received, I've got a whole different problem with the passenger side one, but I'll try and tackle this one first.

I havn't got the proper tool so I'm just using some grips. Its turning fine, just not going back in at all.

I've been changing the rear pads on my G60, passenger side went smoothly but on the drivers side I've been winding the piston for an eternity but its just not going back in. Any ideas??

Nice one, thanks.

Hi, I'm just doing my back brakes and the caliper piston is almost all the way out. Just want to know whether its clockwise or anti-clockwise to wind it back in? Thanks in advance.

No Butterfly, I wasn't there, nice to know I'm not alone though.

Excellent, how do I test mine? I'm hopeless at car electrics

Nice one people, thats all I needed to know. Time to work out why the central locking is disabled, better than buying one of those cheap universal kits off ebay which is what I was planning.

Thanks both, but what opperates it when its working properly? Like I said, I havn't got central locking.

The fuel flap locking thing was jammed in the locked position on my G60, have managed to seperate it from the flap as it was only held on with some very sticky pads. I've done a search on the forum and worked out that there is an acctuator somewhere in the boot to release it, but what I want to know is how does it work (when its working properly) because my car has no central locking, what is supposed to release the fuel flap? I didn't even know that it had a lock as it's never locked itself before, but my last rado had the clip snapped off with a bit jammed in the lock - a common fault then I guess.

Nice one Cazza, I've seen them go for more than that on ebay.

A mate has just pointed out that my rado claims to be "upercharged", some theiving little **** has tried to nick the badge and only succeeded in snapping the S off. :mad: Is ebay the only place left to find these badges and what should I use to stick a new one on so that the same won't happen again (although then they'll probably wreck the paintwork trying to get it off with a screwdriver I suppose).

Thanks, I'll try that

A bloke near me is selling a '78 mk1 golf, its a 1 litre, yellow, 54K and one owner from new. Its got the small rear lights and original metal bumpers (not mint). The car has just failed the MOT on rust in the rear inner arch and sills, its far from mint + has no tax or test. I just want to know what its worth (or if the rust in the arches means don't touch it) so I can make him an offer. Ta

Thanks, I'll go and do some research
