Hi, you need to be a paid subscriber to use the whole of the forum these days. I've never owned a G60, but have owned a MK2 Golf 8 valve and I'm sure the dash had an earth point on the engine cam cover or cylinderhead? Should that be the case check for fracture, security and corrosion. Next I'd remove the dash binnacle and inspect the plugs / wiring etc

Any car that has no interest is too expensive. Any car that has many viewing and no buyers has an issue with condition vs price. the buyer always dictates the selling price glws

In the boot around the spare wheel?

It helps me, never heard of them 😆 👍

No problem.

Low idle speed, too larger pulley on the alternator (lower rotational speed) will both cause the alternator to not charge until revved. AS will a failing alternator - remove the brush pack and check the ends of the bushes for length - check they move easily against there springs - soot on the end of the brush is a sure sign of arcing. Resistance causes voltage drop, testing for voltage drop is more meaningful than resistance (unless you do this day in, day out). Meter to DC Volts Start the car and rev it. The source of power is the alternator, positive lead to the alternator cable tag, negative to the alternator casing - note the result. Move the negative to the earth point of the battery, note the result and compare, any loss is the voltage drop due to resistance in the circuit (alternator body - alternator bracket - engine block - gearbox bell housing - bolt / nut to earth tag on the earth lead - the lead itself - battery connection). If you just want to search for the loss, place the positive lead on the alternator body, the negative to the earth connection on the battery - this is potential (voltage) difference in the circuit

Nope, 12v (actually 9 or 10V via a the clusters built in voltage regulator) to one side of the gauge, negative via the variable sensor on the block.

Oil temp for sure earths on the block (single wire sensor). I'd put money on it the coolant temp does too (eyelet to the block?). Make sure the main engine earth is in good condition - broken / corroded / loose will mean heavy starter current turning over the engine will try and earth via any wiring connected to the block instead

It would be worth adding your location, we're all hoarders and would be tempted if local to you.

I've no idea mate

What does it look like? I've not sold it so must have it somewhere....

I think I have late door looms somewhere.....

Good news. pop in for a coffee if you’re ever over this way with it

You need to be a paid member to post in most areas of the forum.

As far as I’m aware, the light housings are the same, the lenses and surrounds changed for the late models

5W-40 is just thinner from cold, running viscosity (40) will be the same?

I’m in no way connected with the above, but have used them a few times to coat wheels 16” are £35 per rim blast and coat silver with a top coat of lacquer. Note, any kerbing / scratches will remain (this isn’t a wheel refurb!), so I spent an hour or so myself sanding off kerb rash before I took them in Before (as taken in, it wasn’t worth cleaning them prior- they’re as bad as you can get - rattle can on top of brake dust!). They blast anything, I had our front railings done black at the same time, dropped off a week ago, collected today Previously recommended by C5OEM (long OCD storm owner).

Forum rule should be deals done in open sight on the board, not by PMs PMs only once the deal is sealed for payment and address details etc Then if spotted Toby can take action

New thread needed for all to see who's PMing to scam?

I had an Audi a2 sport and ordered individual eibach standard springs of AUTODOC, they messaged to say I’d picked the wrong ones. Spot on when the ones they chose arrived. Does take a while for some things to be arrive

If you used PayPal f&f you can stil claim off the source you paid PayPal with (credit or debit card). it usually takes a while, but you will eventually get your money back. if you do similar again ask for pics of the items with a piece of paper with the sellers name and date on - at least that shows they own the items?
