Hi, do you work on your own cars or do you use a local garage? The youngest is 20 years old now and they can be a bit temperamental to say the least. My advice is to buy one off this forum - all 3 of mine were bought this way

I think some MK2 G60s had A/C?

Original VR6 aircon was by Diavia via the dealers when new

Off centre pump assy with black sticky rubber debris on the intank filter Bigger pieces of the debris from the suspension rubbers

Blow some dust of this old thread. Today I removed my fuel pump, the pump itself is OK as is the fixing to the base of the tank. The pump housing is in 2 parts, inner (containing the actual pump)and outer that twists into the base of the tank, these to parts are held together with 3 rubber hangers to give the pump some suspension, mine have rotted away allowing the pump to move around when negotiating bends and roundabouts when the tank is low on fuel. Pics to follow I don't suppose these rubber mounts are available separately?

Take the 2 screws out, look at the carbon brushes, if there's soot on the shortest one then its arcing across to the slip ring because its worn too short for a proper connection. Inspect the slip rings for deep scoring or even patches worn through to the fibreglass. If you decide to try a brush pack allow the brushes to wear in to the groves on the slip rings before condemning the alternator, its a bit like fitting new pads to used disks, they don't give full performance until they've bedded in a little

You need red to yellow and yellow to red on VWs of this age - losing memory means permanent live is being switched off when removing the keys.

What happens to the steering wheel position if you brake heavily? Accelerate (or brake heavily in reverse - on a car park with lots of room etc) quickly from standstill?

Bugger.......... 2nd dibs should tigerfish decide to change his mind

Are you trying to use the 8 digit account number or the long 16 digit number on the card?

Why not just ask your regular garage to collect it?

Find a garage that will collect, mot and return the car to you.

PAS = Power Assisted Steering, there's still a physical connection between all components in the steering system as a failsafe. If I understand correctly after turning in either direction after negotiating the bend the steering wheel is no longer in the same position (normally straight ahead) as before the turn? Look for signs of the rack moving on it mounting - the bolts may be tight but are they actually holding the rack securely? Use a pry bar on the wishbone by the rear bush - are the bolts holding the wishbones securely? Are the engine / suspension subframe bolts tight and holding the subframe securely?

http://www.jandrcvjoints.co.uk/alfa-romeo/ I've heard several good reports off T5 owners about these shafts (driveshafts and stubshafts are one of the achiles heel of T5 owners). Has anyone used them?

Do Ford still stock VR6 engine bits?

I had to do the NSF wheel bearing on mine a few weeks ago, the CV was seized in the hub so I had to remove the shaft with the hub and shove it out with a 20T press, my cheap 3 legged hub puller bent! The grease in the joint had lost its moisture content, the remaining 20 year old moly grease was like thick mud. I've put stripping and regreasing the drivers side on my to do list

Decent used ones tend to go for around £30 each on ebay anyway. Do Laminex have clear to cover the fogs?

Disconnecting the battery will mean the ecu will have to relearn sensor perameters, the pump running could just be part of a safe start up sequence after the battery ahs been disconnected?

They used to polish the edges of cut glass for furniture etc with an abrasive stone lubricated with parafin

I'd try a 2 pack lacquer and then a flat and polish. Stone masons who do granite worktops etc use abrasive discs to cut and shape and plaster skim poured into plastic throw away cups to set first to polish cut edges to a shine

I have a grey slam panel, free if you collect from Crewe. I also have an early rear bumper and G60 petrol tank, all free to collector.
