    Its a keeper, a bit of a long term project I think, but it does mean the remains of hennys old G60 (bought without running gear and interior) will have to go

    Well if you buy those for summer you'll be on the look out for some winters................. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk3-golf-vr6-bbs-5x100-195-50-15-yokohama-prarda-spec-2-tires-3-6mm-tread/300986587895?_trksid=p2045573.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D16548%26meid%3D1891005902561074819%26pid%3D100033%26prg%3D7839%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D300986587895%26

    Nothing looks worse IMO than a stone chip revealing a totally different colour beneath the top coat. I already have a pair of blue and a grey O/S that I could sand to bare metal, but would still prefer pre painted panels if I can get them.

    I may be able to help with shell cuts next week if you can't get sorted before - The screen top is rotted on the one I'm cutting though

    Looks better than I remember - getting old :(

    Immobiliser faults will allow just a few rotations of the engine before cutting out, try another key

    Remove the hoses from the radiator and flush the rad and engine block with a hose pipe. Refill with coolant once thoroughly flushed. Remove the plugs and see which cylinders are not firing and go from there looking for the cause of the misfire. Check all breathers and inlet hoses for splits etc that cause hesitation.

    If you slash a tyre sidewall with a Stanley knife on a regular wheel / tyre combo once deflated the slash will attempt to reseal itself visually. The huge gaping grin shows how much stress has been inflicted on the sidewall over and above the usual vehicle weight, the sidewall has been trying to reduce the circumference of the tread crown block, something its not designed to do.

    Tyre sidewalls just aren't designed to be used like that. You could have picked up a cut on the inside edge, under inflation will also cause the side walls to overheat and blow out. At the end of the day its just a tyre, no ones hurt and that's a good thing :)

    Nice spec G60

    Thanks

    Do you have a link please?

    Check for inlet air leaks including breather pipes, air entering the engine after the Maf will lead to a weaker mixture than what's required leading to hesitation, rough idle etc

    If you need a BDE head and valves for R&D or display purposes I have one (no cams / sprockets), its a heavy lump to courier though

    Check the ET of all the wheels are the same

    Now on other forums, its the full set up for the price of a charger rebuild. I was quoted £300 to remove the immobiliser and wire the 1.8T loom to the g6o fuse box loom

    You can use a spirit level to roughly check side to side, measure the distance from vertical top of the wheel (not the tyre) and bottom of the wheel and subtract one from the other, then do the other side. Camber is adjusted with the 2 bolts holding the strut to the hub, fine tuning can be done with the 3 bolts holding the hub bottom ball joint to the wishbone.

    No rear breaks.

    What happens if you open one of the lines before the compensator? Does fluid come out?
