  1. Just fitted one but unable to give definitve results as I only drove it to and from the MOT, but in the short time I drove it I noticed a distinct increase in noise and better pull away from stationary... Will add more when I've taxed the beastie....

    Flat Battery

    Obtained from our American Chums at http://www.corrado-club.com "An additional entry for your known problems list. I have a 1990 G60 which has drained the battery when parked since day one. What I eventually discovered is that there is a power window relay control unit mounted to the left of the left rear passenger seat which has a connection to the door switches (why?). I observed that when the unit is first connected with the doors CLOSED there is no power drain. However, as soon as a door is opened a relay engages inside the unit (you can hear it click in) and from then on there is a consistent 100mA drain on the battery. You can only release the relay (and the power drain) by unplugging the power feed to the relay module. This power drain is not a problem if the car is driven regularly, but if you only use the car from time to time you'll be fighting a dead battery more often than not. My quick fix to this problem was to disconnect the wires which go to the door switches. Every thing appears to work fine without this connection. A "smoking gun" is that the door switches were changed in 1991 so that there are isolated contacts feeding this control unit instead of the 1990 version which shares the switch with the overhead light unit..." Hope this helps guys...
