Any1 have stripped rear seats and running false floor?
madscientist replied to jenks's topic in Interior
There was a really nice blue G60 with D90's, roll cage and merc arm chairs. looked really good with a false floor and a spare d90 stuck in the middle of it. Anyone know which one i mean? -
I think you can also check by pressing the brake while you start the car. It should make a clicking feeling if its working :?

This guy has 5 for sale! Do you think some traders make them up so it looks like they have lots of Storms but when you ring up for it they would say its sold but we have another one? http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/de ... roup&tid=8

Yeah you too JMC. The G60 noise has really grown on me now. :) -
A guy in Blackburn has got one, he works at 'Green lane garage' I think hes called Paul. Its light green, totally striped out with a roll cage and bucket seat, i think its got NOS as well now? Its had magazine reviews recently.

I also have a small oil leak from the seal you mention. Its the rockercover cam seal (i think thats what they call it?). Its only a cheap part but you will have to move all the rest of the stuff out of the way to take the rocker cover off. The last person to take it off either didnt seat it properly or over tightened the rocker cover nuts.

madscientist replied to andy.b's topic in Engine Bay
The fan controller is the black plastic thing next to the coolent res, right? Ive seen the big metal 50amp plate fuse but where are the other 2?? are they inside the controller? -

Dunno if i should bother disterbing mine now as it seems to be working fine although it does stick out a couple of mm?
-
Ohhhhhh ok, how stupid do i feel now!!!!!
-
Have you tried taking the ring off the end seeing if it still works?
-
Tom, i said i didnt know owt about G60, so why is that a stupid question?
-
Dont know anything about G60 really, but why cant you just use some sort of glue to stop belt slippage? You could use some solvent to get the glue off when you need to.
-
Yeah i had the same problem, i had a post on it somewhere? http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= the seal just wouldnt go in, so i ended up with the seal on the outside of the rockercover pushed up against the sensor. Ive left it like that but would like to know if it makes a difference the further in the sensor goes? You can slide the wide black plastic rings up i think?

Why would new tanks have junk in them? Old tanks may have rust thats fallen in or crap from every tanker that filled it up.

How much do you think a sealed original first aid kit from a corrado would go for? Has anyone sold one recently?
