    I like how you've put it on a bracket behind the battery. My laying behind the passenger headlight at the mo and it kept getting water in it. In the end i had to wrap it in a small plastic bag with some electrical tape to protect it :lol:

    :lol: I'm glad I'm not the only one that's noticed that! I'm feeling more and more outnumbered as the years go by as well. :lol: Its like a rain cloud looming over your head. :lol: Its not that youre out numbered, just that the other G60 owners have come to accept..... sorry sorry lets not go there :lol: Sorry guy, you can have your post back.

    Hmmm not sure about the shocks either.

    I ended up getting model - EXH011 and cut it to size - £7.50 posted. Got it off ebay actually in the end. But i've found places sell them all at the same price EXH001-012. Halfords do sell them, but when i went down they only had like 4 varieties. All these EXH's will make sense if you look at the link. http://www.powerflex.co.uk/product-deta ... /1552.html - EXH011

    Bargin wheels mate :D They in good nick? They look in good nick from the pics. Any scuffs/kerbing? Are they shorter shocks?

    :( ^^ Fitted a powerflex exhaust hanger because the back box kept banging on the bumper. Now the back box pipe knocks on the rear axle - another powerflex hanger needed. For anyone thinking of getting these. They hold the exhaust alot better then the oem rubbers - alot firmer held in place.

    Nice one mate, they do suit it. JUST GET IT LOWERED NOW! :lol: Any ideas what you want - springs/shocks or coilovers?

    Tesco was 104.9 last time I filled up. Some info on Tesco stuff: http://www.greenergy.com/tesco_99_octane/index.html Cheers matey! :D

    :lol: Sonicriot, do you ever feel that the VR vs G60 argument seems to follow you around the forum :lol:
  10. Critical_Mass
    Which engine, R32?
  11. Critical_Mass
    Another good read Tim. Thanks!

    Cant see why they wouldnt do the job.

    Aye i could do with losing a stone. What about ICE? lose the stereo speakers, any subs or amps. Depends how much you like your music whilst you drive. I suppose if it was a G60 you'd need something to drown the droning noise out, but you have your own music under the bonnet with a VR - :lol: just to stir it

    Yeah im with sonic, i tend to avoid supermarket fuel, but not just because the dodgy batches they've had but i do notice the car seems to run better on the V-power but also for better mileage. Though i found Tesco fuel was worse the Sainsburys. Saying all that, id be willing to give the Tesco 99ron a try... maybe. How much is the Tesco 99ron per litre compared to the V-Power. Last time i filled up (week last sat) it was at 109.9 :(

    Voo that looks stunning, really really like it! :luvlove: What back box did you get fitted? Looks close to the bumper like my oval supersprint back box - which bangs over some bumps :(
  16. Critical_Mass
    That first shot is fantastic 8) The new rocco makes the mk1 look tiny.
  17. Critical_Mass
    So true! I wanted to stick with the VR too, so was willing to spend the 2k on an older designed engine.
  18. Critical_Mass
    and i can personally recommend Vege, their service is great and the engine hasnt missed a beat. Now on 8.5k miles and not a problem with any oil/water leaks. Runs sweet as.. :D Though i did pay about £2k for the engine. Some might argue you could get a 1.8 20vt engine for that.
  19. Critical_Mass
    Try Vege UK or NL
  20. Critical_Mass
    I'll echoe that. ^^^ Havent got a bad word to say about the V1s, well worth the £££ :D
  21. Critical_Mass
    Yeah got to agree with that... i have a BMC, 6 branch with a supersprint CAT back exhaust and it does sound great. get a nice popping on overrun and down shift. 8) Whether #1 is true - its just what i've read myself. I'd definately wrap it purely for #2 if for no other reason.
  22. Critical_Mass
    I would have thought it would invalidate the ticket also... Its not hard to look at the badge on the back. :roll:
  23. Critical_Mass
    All i lubed was the top bearing on the fronts.
  24. Critical_Mass
    :pukeleft:

    :lol: Is this the same bloke responsible for the headlights, wipers, ignition switch, door handles.... ? :lol:
