Rinse

Having a bit of trouble with my G60. The Toad alarm thats on it has stopped working full stop. (It hasn't worked since I got it.) When pressing the key fobs the light on the fob flashes but the car doesn't do anything. Only the passenger side lock works on it too, so at the moment I've got to clamber though the car to unlock my drivers door! :bad-words: Anyway, first things first. Fuses, Where abouts would I find the fuse for the alarm? Will I have to find the module or will it be in the Fusebox? Was planning just getting a replacement alarm fitted, but can't find anyone in Inverness with good a reputation. So I'd have to go to Aberdeen if I'm going down that route. So I've decided to try and fix it myself... With your help. :notworthy:

Nothing planned but a couple people on svag were considering it.

Paul, you're selling your VR?? :ignore:

This is shaping up to be an awesome build!

No way, that looks perfect! I'll be ordering some of that. Is there lamin-x over the top and bottom sections or just the top?

Those rear lights look ace! Assuming thats just Lamin-x over the aftermarket lights you had on it or did you do it over OEM ones?

Was thinking the other day how much its going to suck getting in the rad at 7 in the morning and sitting on the leather when its freezing cold this winter. Then thought how ace it would be if there were heated seat covers... Quick internet search and found out there is such a thing! Anyone used them before? Don't know how well they'll work and kinda scared about them marking the leather. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HEATED-CAR-SEAT-C ... 2965wt_901

Got it out, took the bracket thats on the engine off! Just opening it now!

Right, what's the secret to getting the charger out. You lot are definately hiding something! :lol: Its popped out of place and can turn it slighly, the part of the charger the two 6mm bolts came from are now closer to the engine block but the standard pulley isn't coming out for noone! Tempted to just bend the pulley to hell to get it out and replace it with a 68mm one!

Yep, its the supercharger. Kinda devastated the first thing I fix on my G60 is get the charger sent off for a rebuild! Ah well, will give G-werks a phone once she's out.

If I remember correctly my late switch illuminated with the lights symbol when they were off, the green ring and symbol when on sidelights and just the green ring when headlights are on... I could be wrong though.

Ah ace, will be a lot easier to diagnose then! Will give that a shot! Was just battling with my o/s headlights middle screw. Its turned to a pile of rust :lol:

Just thinking, If it were the charger, I should be able to take it out and give it a spin and feel/listen for any noises?

Or the high tech version? :clap: EDIT: After having a good nosey about the forum the past couple nights (Nightshift :pukeright:) decided before I stress out about the charger to check that its not the waterpump, timing or crank bolt. Is there any way I can check the timing without taking everything off? I helped my mate do the timing belt on my valver and it was a nightmare and don't want to get stung putting it into a garage to find out the timing was fine! Also how can I check the water pump? Sorry for sounding like an absolute noob but I'm no mechanic and I'm just learning as I go along!

Did it go to someone local mate?

Alright, Got my G60 back up the road the other day, was running fine when I viewed it but its developed a knock since I got it up the road! :ignore: Was planning getting the charger off to G-werks for a service once I got paid this month for peace of mind since it was Jabba that did it before and haven't heard good things about them! I'm worried that it might be knackered though, and was wanting to get some feedback from you guys before sending it off to find out its knackered! By chance I still had my old camera to hand so I've made a short video of the sound, I'm hoping someone can tell me its not about to grenade and its something as simple as the charger being out of sync!! http://vimeo.com/7066238

Did a search but nothing came up for this. Seen that theres 2 types of Boost return kits on Ebay, and theres the G-werks one. Whats the difference between the 2 ebay jobs, it doesn't actually say. Also whats the G-werks one like? Ebay Kit S1 Ebay Kit S2 And for the sake of the search filter.... Dump valve. :ignore:

Welcome to the forum mate! I had a similar problem when i first got my Rado, neither of the front speakers were working. Did the same as you, door card off to investigate and everything seemed fine. Took the speaker out and tried it on my polo which had the same connections but wouldn't work, so knew it was the speakers. Went out and replaced the speakers and everything worked fine after! You don't have any other speakers lying around you could try? Chances that its just a dud speaker is quite high.

Nice to see they've put in MK1 GTI's into it too.

Just back from looking at the G60... Should be back in Corrado ownership by next week :clap:

Exactly what went through my head!

Very nice standard looking C. Loving the last pic!

Oh aye, I was in the passenger seat like. :clap:

I was probably in it too. :lol: Stevej that sounds like a good shout!
