As title, the indicators all work fine but when i go put the hazards on only the right hand lights flash. Is this a switch/relay problem? Ifso where can i find them in the car? I've got my MOT next week and i guess it would fail on this item :(

Been slow progress mainly due to the weather and other commitments. Finally managed to get the bumper off and was then able to assess what needed to be replaced. At this time I thought it would be worthwhile changing the bushes in the cross member for Powerflex items and replacing the front engine mount. The two plastic water flanges also needed to be replaced as the seals were completely shot. The rocker cover was next as the paint was very flaky so went for a matt black finish with slightly polished vw logo and strips. Fitted the G60 U-Bend and the Intercooler next which was tight to say the least. In this time I have also stock piled a few more bits and pieces, Weitec coilovers, 68mm pulley and chip, AP Racing 4 pot brakes and mocal oil cooler, all stil to be fitted.

Its not the cross member its the radiator support panel. mine had completly rusted away too. Got one second hand easy enough.

I decided to remove the rear wiper arm and motor as i think it looks better without it. It will also aid my long term weight reduction ideas. Sunday i picked up a Golf G60 FMIC with all the gubbins from KarlG60, cheers Karl! so i am in the process of trying to remove my front bumper which has become a nightmare. The lower panel has completely rusted through as i've seen alot have done, but is easily replaceable i understand. VW shafted me for the 3 fuel hoses which i need to fit in the engine bay, atleast i'll know its done and won't have any fuel leaks!! I am endeavouring to repair the electric wing mirrors, and i read something on the forum and found a guide about how the switch can be at fault which i've taken apart and found the circuit board to be all blue/green, so nice and clean now and will see if it works when i put it back in.

She has gone to a good home Si and ill take good care, i promise. Suprisingly I havent cleaned it yet, the colour is really good and seems to stay shiney (unlike my black Integra which was nightmare to keep clean) Cheers for the other comments guys, she's a beaut

Thanks, it’s down as black on the log book, but close up looks more like a very dark grey

Just a quick introduction After looking for the right G60 for a while I came across one that seemed perfect for me; however it was over 170 miles away but after some good communication with the seller I decided to go have a look at it. After the early start and 3 hour drive I was happy to see the car was pretty much mint and just what I expected. Happy with it the 3 hour trip back started…. Happily the car got back without any faults and as this is going to be my weekend toy I tucked it up in the garage for the week. The next weekend rolled around and got the car up and running, however I started to notice a strong petrol smell when the car was idleing. Having had a few fuel lines go on me on previous cars I had a good idea it was just the lines perishing over time. Once I had located the leak (fuel line going in to the fuel rail on top of the inlet) managed to get some fuel line and replaced the cracked pipe to get it up and running again. I plan to restore and upgrade the G60 over time, but want to start with a good service and general clean all round.
