you sir are legend ;o)

Hi guys, need a new idle control valve, damn pricey at £200 any ideas on a cheaper supplier? thanks

:epicfail:

Yeah its a g60 mate. Are you serious? that would be excellent mate do you have a number for him?

well the crank pulley oscillates

this is the thing i had my pulley dti checked and its fine... ill have to drop the crank then? ball ache :(

well the pulleys are true ive had them checked... so the wobble has to be the crank sureley guys?

Oh god what do i do if cranks bent? is it expensive to replace? What jobs are worth doing if i do it? ARGH :bad-words:

nice one mate thanks

Hi does anyone know where i can get a billet altenator/charger/powersteering pulley from in stock size? heard bout grueven parts but they are from america? Cheers

ah didnt think of that one thats a good point ill check that thanks mate

Hope got right topic area :confused4: Today i couldnt open the windows on my car... Changed fuse, they worked til operated elecric mirrors... fuse blows. Tried detatching each mirror to see which may be doing it & also stripped & cleaned control module. Still not working. Any ideas lads???

Well in the end I got the car towed down to a local garage where the guy used an airgun the size of a small house :nuts: Want one the thing was brilliant! Crank good... Ordered new pulley, tensioner, bolt, belts and getting ali pulley re datummed at the engineers....

Its 5 or 6 years but hell its tight! l

ok chap will do, godamn its a tight bolt though, wont shift. Need a industrius air gun...

Hi that Darren? ok mate thanks for the tip :salute:

Hi does anyone know any good crank bolt / pulley combos to stop the wobble im getting again? I did the golf pully bolt mod about 5 years ago. Wobble started again but got it early this time!

nice one mate :D

Yeah... or some human remains lol :lol:

Agreed that idea of yours with the rag is a good one! How longs not long? At £37 a pair i wa expecting longer than a year surely? :bad-words: Tried cheaper ones before I really wouldn't bother mate!

Those of you who like me have put up with the appalling wiper blades on the car will be delighted to know that you can spuce up the appearance & performance using new 'Bosch Aerotwin' wipers. Simply remove the arms from the drive assy & lightly tighten the spring hanger inside the unit with a pair of thin long handled grips (pipe wrench is perfect). Then grab the arm and bend the thin part towards window so to create a bit more tension. Fit new blades and see the difference! :wink: Any questions just run me a line. Cheers.

Just a post to express my thanks to the guys who helped me get a charger sorted for the car, I spent the weekend putting it all back & it started first time :notworthy: was a learning curve worth doing! Nice one!

As last post said its easy as that... Make careful note of each bolt going where as you strip it cos believe me you wont remember in a few weeks!

strange, that usually sorts it out. Maybe the speed sensor is breaking down inside, try replacing it, they only cost around £20 from the dealer anyway.

check your speed sensor hasnt been damaged/earthed out. Infact it can be alot to do with that...
