^^^^^^ agreed :lol: so what were the other 24 cars to drive before you die then???

gets the big thumbs up from me!! far better looking than the new golf and scirocco

looking good havent seen yours around either but i actually live in ottery st mary heres mine: regards to the charger if its only an extra £80 then stage 5 wont hurt but it tends to need a fair bit of follow up work to get its full potential have a word with olley ek9 on swdubs....hes a wizz with the g60 engine! so other than the charger whats your future plans? planning to get some leather for mine too :norty:

not really no for a big increases in bhp you need to look into kams and head work worth having a word with g werks to see what they can offer is this on a rado?? where abouts in devon are u? part of SWdubs?

Well thats annoying looks nice enough...drive well? not a big fan of the wheels but hay ho

borbets look ace gota aggree prefer the black grill and chin spoiler but im bias keep the white handles though White Rados = SEX :lol:

HERBY!!! :lol: looks too over done in my opinion but each to their own :salute:

may be worth checking 1) Vacuum pipe between ECU and the top nipple on the back of the throttle body. This needs to be EXACTLY 100cm long and have a good fitting at either end to seal it properly... this will give all sorts of nasty running and idling problems if it's wrong, torn, leaky or just generally crap... 2) Blue temp sender in the water flange on the front of the hose. This tells the ECU what temp the coolant is at. If it's broken, then the car will either run on choke all the time, or will never run on choke.. either way, it'll result in naff idle and flat spots... 3) Dead lambda sensor... this lives at the start of the cat pipe, the wiring is on the left hand side rear engine mount as you look from the front of the car... when this dies, you're car will feel flat and DRINK fuel... idle will also become lumpy due to over-fuelling... 4) air leak... If you have a leak in one of your boost pipes, intercooler or vacuum hoses, the ECU won't be getting reasonable signals and the engine won't run properly...

£1200 sounds good from how it looks whats the milage and service history like? not sold on the engine rebuild idea unless theres reciepts, but BM's go on forever if serviced regulary would certainly get the chains looked at if i was you good find 8)

yeah right whats he been smoking :lol:

dang it You tube is blocked at work whats on the video?

look at that interior

looking good not quite sold on the angel style headlights but otherwise a good project start any pics of the interior?

Very tidy plenty of room for improvement make sure you keep this thread updated :salute:

the new bbs wheels make the car look so much better....good on ya :clap:

was just thinking the same thing :wink: on a side note - u thought about fitting de-locked door handles? make them look more flush IMO still rado's looking good so far (far more pics needed me thinks) plus im in love with that mk2.... nice and simple :)

thought id post up some pics of the new dials and sprayed handles :thumbup:

That looks well smart mate, loving this photo. "good weather"?? Where've u been? :lol: Gotta ask tho, are the Lenso's 17's? ha ha got to admitt i cheated.....pics were taken back in october :lol: yep the lenso's are 17's....would have got 16's myself but were bought buy previous owner they clear the front calipers nice though so cant complain :wink: i know the wheels arnt to every1s taste but i like them, make the car stand out from other rado's me thinks :D got some pics of the colour coded door handles too....will upload 2morow-turned out well

some more pics with good weather :D

could be numerous problems but as long as there's no crack in the casing then its likely G-works can fix it just have to wait for the call

oh and took me ages but found more info which helped to diagnose the problem OK, idle problems on G60 which run but poorly tend to be from one of 4 common faults.. check these and see what happens. 1) Vacuum pipe between ECU and the top nipple on the back of the throttle body. This needs to be EXACTLY 100cm long and have a good fitting at either end to seal it properly... this will give all sorts of nasty running and idling problems if it's wrong, torn, leaky or just generally crap... 2) Blue temp sender in the water flange on the front of the hose. This tells the ECU what temp the coolant is at. If it's broken, then the car will either run on choke all the time, or will never run on choke.. either way, it'll result in naff idle and flat spots... 3) Dead lambda sensor... this lives at the start of the cat pipe, the wiring is on the left hand side rear engine mount as you look from the front of the car... when this dies, you're car will feel flat and DRINK fuel... idle will also become lumpy due to over-fuelling... 4) air leak... If you have a leak in one of your boost pipes, intercooler or vacuum hoses, the ECU won't be getting reasonable signals and the engine won't run properly... was a post by 'Henny' from a few years ago hope it helps others

problem sorted now peeps the pipe that runs from the inlet manifold to the ecu had poped off when the gearbox went in running sweet now cheers for all the help guys and girls

been told off another forum to check: Earth on the throttle boddy to the coil Earth on the water out let facing the left of the car out of the head (run a lead from the stud to the battery) Battery earth lead aint on a clean bit of gearbox Air temp sensor aint plugged in right The boost pipes to and from the intercooler are leaking due to old clips or not being sitted properly sound reasonable?

ha ha had the same problem then? so you def dont think its something more serious like the crank? so if its just the cables any half decent mechanic will be able to sort in no time then?

well it was a weekend job so needed the car out befor monday just didnt have time to check said they'd have a look at the end of the week but just wanted come up with some ideas befor they waste their time any other common things to check? :)
