What Oil Temp Does Your G60 Show At Motorway Speed?
shawshankkid replied to juloesG60's topic in Engine Bay
Mine shows 118c at over 80 mph........110c at 50 - 70 mph. -
Went to Bradford today to MJ Interiors to have my drivers seat re-clothed. Very pleased. Like new again in lightening time!. Repaired some foam too.......Micheal is a grand chap...........If anybody else has worn cloth or holes give him a ring, he has bags full of ready made cloth pieces for various parts of the seat like new.

Looks nice and clean chap...........that would break my heart, pluck it- cook it -and eat it for that bugger at least ! . welcome aboard pal, this is a great forum with lovely people.

Be nice with the D and GB.

Jim was right........it was the Corrado badge letting the water in (alot too i might add) making the carpet very wet........ went in through the back seats with a torch when it was chucking it down. put some silicon on the gromets and vasaline over the top and all is sorted, Many Thanks for all the replies gang. Chris.

A little water is coming in through the corrado badge jim...it has all 4 new clips in so just popped a bit of vasaline around the top of the badge to stop it leaking in. cheers
-
Cheers neil. I will put the back seats down and got investigate the next time it rains (which wont be long i'm sure!)
-
Hi all, My boot is letting water in. Anybody else had a problem with it or got a idea where its coming in ?. It lets water in when its raining parked up. And its starting to make the boot stink. Included a pic to show where......Cheers in advance Chris.
-
Thanks supercharged, Its the leather thats worn i'm sure the plastic is piece is ok. Does the leather just slip over to fit ?. I take it it's a stupid price like most things.

What type of cloths for polishing the car do you find best to use ? Microfibre/100% cotton/others ?.........I use flannelette cot sheets as they are mega soft and i can buy them cheap from off markets and such like.
-
I need a new one of those in the pic. Mines knacked....anyody know how much they are and part number ? Cheers.

Had a strange one today. This couple were walking by my house as i was popping my chin spoiler on the bloke said "nice colour car mate" then about 5 seconds later said "nice car too" as like a afterthought. lol bless him. :thumb right:

Changed my fuel filter today on G60. (part number 1H0 201 511A) Popped a few pics up if anybody needs any help with it. Very simple job that took about 30 minutes. You don't have to jack the rear of the car up to do it but it will give you more room to work if you do. Click on bottom right of pictures to see full size. Hope it helps.

I had a new windscreen fitted last month £200 cash from a local fitter who works for himself. Top quality saint gobain sekurit screen with a green tint at the top. perfect job.

Would Rather stick pins in mi eyes than have one of those hideous things stuck on the front of my pride and joy......Jesus.
-
This will sound a bit fishy but i promise you it will work...........Cut a couple of spanish onions in half and pop a couple in the boot and a couple on the back seat.........leave for 2 days and voila........soaks up all the smells a treat. :thumbleft:
-

car pulls to left and wheel vibrates when braking
shawshankkid replied to kasman21's topic in Drivetrain
Mine did same thing........changed brake discs (brembo) and pads (pagid)...changed em last week,perfect now. -
Proper gutted for you pal.....I had two tyres slashed the first night i had my raddo..... a mate dropped it off at 10 pm so just left it for the night....local scum off the street did it not knowing it was mine. One of them spilled the beans to me after a fall out between themselfs...so i slashed both his tyres on his motorbike while he was actually sat on it, and told him next time i would put a few slashes in him...I will never forget the look on his face.......no comeback either !....find out what they own pal (if anything!) and smash it to bits......take it out their wallets ! it hurts more than a belting....that will wear off in the morning.....also go round to the parents and say someone seen em do it so you want some cash or the police are coming round to sort it. you will be suprised of the results........Major quizzing by parents and frit to death of getting the police involved. All probably on an asbo anyway so need to tread carefull..........good luck with it.
