g60elite

Thought i might just take this oppurtunity and add this little number, especially if it might not be around for long.

Can it be done while-u-wait? Was under the impression its a long job. But yeh it might make sense popping down, i wanted to get the whole toothed pulley done for that sound too.

Whats valet mode

Maybe it stops that annoying beep beep on the clifford??

I was hoping somebody would have the answer, i aint got a clue.

Ill have to get a pic up. But they are almost hidden, literally behind the bonnet release handle. They are very small, the size i would say is 5mm x 5mm. I was just curious to see if they had some sort of real use. I dont think it was the fuel cut off as the car was started when i spotted them and pressed them with no result.

Does anybody know what the 2 little switches are located in the drivers side footwell just behind the bonnet release handle.

OK ive had my G60 a while now but i cant find any paper work for when it was last rebuilt. I know its a G Werks job and its been tuned to stage 4, so it would make absolute sense to take it back to them to service it. From what ive seen its not an overnight job and i cant afford to be without her (honeymoon period :lol: ) so i dont fancy sending her or part of her to get the job done.. My question is can i get it rebuilt from someone else locally in the midlands...who? Will that affect anything? Does anyone know of any1 reputable?

Started using a wire brush but i get the feeling that wasnt a good idea..... 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf3g 005.JPG[/attachment:1d778zei] 3g 008.JPG[/attachment:1d778zei]

Well im off to try it im using the same auto glym but im going to try not to use water and see how that goes, wish me luck

Not sure on the width but theyre defo 17"s. Dont let anyone sit in the back of your car :lol: oh and speed bumps.... :bad-words:

Oh well i suppose the damage is done now. I might just add some high gloss polish to it soon. I must say this has to be the best condition ive seen my car in, just couldnt stop looking at it, the red was even deeper and shinier. But back to the main point AG engine cleaner it is, im on the case first thing.

That was the theory I had, start with something less abrasive, originally i was going to get it mopped professionally, but thought lets give good ol t-cut a go and to be honest its done the trick....for now anyway. I did try and seal it with some super resin polish..would that be enough or should i add another product?

Why not t-cut?? The driver side and roof was badly faded, completely different colour to the rest of the car. Oh btw i did t-cut and the bloke in halfords recommended auto glym resin polish. Did the most amazing job :clap: . Do you think it would further make a difference if i buffed it with super gloss too?? I couldnt get hold of the meguirs but they had some auto glym engine cleaner, it does say to hose off excess, is this really necessary, im totally trying to avoid water!!

Well here goes guys, suns out might tcut the body 1st, but im hoping to get somewhere with engine this weekend, ill try and get some pics up when done

Ive had a look into a few products, im not sure if they all work in the same way, but im not sure if spraying the engine down with water is a good idea, do all these products work in the same way?

Thats a good point, would defo make sense to take out the "easy" bits, but i think im scared in case i screw something else up

OK gunk it is then. Would be ideal to take the engine out and do it professionally.....but im not a professional :lol: so here goes. Cheers guys

Hey guys, im a novice when it comes to mechanics and cars. Ive seen a few rados with spanklingly clean engines, what would be the best route for me to achieve a similar result. I was thinking a wire brush and some type of acid or solvent cleaner?? I wanted the samco hoses at first but thought there would be no point if the enginge itself was all greasy, so here i am. Any suggestions???

yep, its giving me probs. Smoke coming out from the exhaust pipe - not burning enough fuel, very jumpy especially in lower gears. What have i done :(

got it fitted and it feels like its gonna stall in first gear. ill try some wd40 on it in the mornin and see how that goes

:scratch: phew, for a minute thought that was my little car before i bought it :lol: let me see if i can get some pics up

HI guys, can anyone tell me what difference a ported and polished throttle can make to a g60?

Ive been offered a ported and polished throttle body, can i ask what difference will it make to my car. Are there any negative points with changing it?

Hi, ive had this problem where my oil temp goes well over 130c, but it only happens when i switch my main lights on. As far as im aware ive got a standard oil cooler. I think there may be a loose wire or a short somewhere, does anybody have an idea of where the problem lies. Cheers
