i WOULD'VE THOUGHT THAT THE BUILT IN GPS WOULD HAVE TROUBLE GETTING A SIGNAL TOO?

I get 40p a mile for the Rado when using it for work (all the time) and thought it wasn't too bad. Still thinking of selling it and buying a Diesel in the summer. I've no where to keep a third car.

It is usually the metal one that goes. I've bypassed mine at the moment so I can get nice hot air in the car. I asked the dealer about getting another valve but was told that they are currently discontinued (that was early november) but might be getting more in around now. If the matrix dies, your passenger could get scalded feet and the car will very quickly steam up and you won't be able to see.

WTF? ^^^^^

Power Steering Fluid I think

But are the Speedo's and Solitudes not wider than the steelies? Or am I talking sihte and have no clue about tyres?

Even when I tipo toe round roundabouts and corners though, the back end is happy to swing round and say hello. Running 15" steelies with 195/55/15 at the mo. Could I use 205/50/15 instead or will that lead to speedo over/under read?

The old rear tyres (that are now on the front) are Vredestein Sportac or something like that. The drive to work tomorrow is going to be great fun.

Indded I am Furk. Can't afford tasty rims yet and I might be turning to the dark side in the summer. Right then, looks like I'll be throwing the old tyres in the bin and getting some new ones. I'm hoping it's not anything like the suapension cause that = £££££ to sort out. Cheers for the advice and tips guys. I'll keep y'all posted. Grim

Cheers Matt, Looks like I'll be getting a new pair of boots to replace my dodgy old ones that are now on the front.

Ok peeps, hopefully someone can answer this one for me. Even if a car tyre has plenty of tread and the rubber is cracked, does the rubber harden/deteriorate over time? The reason I ask is that my car has been very tail happy in the slightest damp conditions which makes driving unpredictable at best. I had a pair of T1-S tyres fitted to the front about a year ago - these have decent tread and are not the problem (I think and hope). The problem is the rears. I've had the rear tyres fitted to the rear of the G60 for about 2 1/2 years mabye more and before that they were fitted to the rear of my Golf GTi for a year. Between the Golf and the Corrado, they sat in my garage for circa 16 months. Tonight, I waved hello to my boot going round a roundabout, thankfully there was no one else on the road. So as an experiment, I swapped the front and rear tyres over thinking that I'll wheel spin to soften the tyres up a bit. Didn't work in the slightest. Now the front of the car grips the road about as well as a man with no hands grips a greasy pole. So the old tyres are fooked. But why? Thanks in advance and apologies for the long story.

Phil, out of interest, what have you been quoted for the mirror glass? My drivers side could do with replacement.

Got 44mpg out of the G60 the other day too. Just crusing on the motorway at 70mph with no harsh accelleration or deceleration. I've got a pic of the MFA read out on my phone somewhere.

Spotted an Ice Grey Violet Rad (I think, it was dirty - like mine) coming up behing me on the motorway going towards Glasgow airport. Rolled my window down as he passed and gave him a wee nod. Pulled in behind him and followed till he pulled off at the airport and gave me a wave. Any takers?

There were only certain models of the F1 that had the C mirrors. Albeit on slightly taller mounts.

OMG! Are they the same wheels? Stunning finish on them. Get the car back so we can see these babies on.

Does it not pop up at speed for a reason though? I remember Henny saying he'd tested J-DUB with spoiler up and down at speeds in the corners and she felt a little ropey with it down.

Bought Performance VW for the first time in over a year specifically to see the pics of your car mate. Absolutely stunning! The quality of work and attention to detail is tremendous. Keep up the good work mate!

This might sound silly but are the dials on the correct sections of the controls? I'm sure I read on here that there is a metal contact in the dial for the heater speed but not the rest. If they're on the wrong way, they don't work properly. It could be something else and I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along soon. Good luck

What do you mean GAY STEELIES!!!!!

Knowledge base IIRC matey. Just the mirrors at the moment tho. HTH Edit : Knowledge base is empty! DOH!

I've never driven a VR. Drive one before you make any rash decisions as some people prefer the power delivery on the G, some the VR. Apparently it's quite smooth delivery from the VR whereas the G kicks you up the arse. Obviously a charged VR is a bit different (mid to top range) from a standard one. I for one would love a VR, a charged one at that, just for the noise. But alas, can't afford one yet. Anyway, someone who has driven both will come along and tell me I'm talking pap. There's been plenty of discussion or VR6 vs G60 though, have a search and a read through some of it. Might help you make up your mind.

Gotta love the steelies!
