Guys, need some help with my lovely Rado.
Its a 1990 g reg rado 16v with a g60 conversion (8v)
Failed mot on various things so need to get them sorted, heres my robs and would be very grateful for any help!
1.Headlights: Failed on no dip beam.....but there is a dip beam just not very bright! Renewed bulbs today and same affect....Also, how many main beam's are there? As when i put on main, the offside drivers side lights up the twin filament main and also the other bulb next to it....on the passenger side the dip beam goes dim and the other bulb doesnt light up? Ive replaced the twin filament bulbs tho? very confused
2. dash
the indicator signals dont come on dash but can hear the relay....the speedo doesnt work (not mot failure but mentioning anyway), the handbrake light doesnt work,also main beam light doesnt work as with mileage etc.But everything else does. So....do you think thid is a dash fault? as ive got a replacement to try and cure problem..... mfa also isnt working fully on mpg average speed etc, does this feed off the dash and could the dash cause all these problems?also...is my rear spoiler connected to dash? as doesnt go up over speed but does on the switch?also...when i activate wipers it sends my rpm counter a sharp spas rise then bk to normal.......this cant be right?
when i turn lights on, ....the green light illuminates for sidelights (on light switch).....but doesnt for headlights...this is when engine is running....when turn ignition off the light comes on in same position....when its left on dipped beam position,this normal?
3 handbrake
poor efficiency on handbrake.....handbrake to me works but have to yank to very top (which is 5 clicks) whats easiest way of adjusting as its only got 5 clicks in length?
4 blowing exhaust on downpipe..... cant find a cheap one anywhere and already bought one off ebay and that was cracked too, its blowing riht on the gay little flexi bit....cant believe these early 16v's have 4 boxes in total and one on the downpipe!! can any1 help source one?
also...just how thirsty are these lovely beasts....as mine is very thirsty......
just a few other things...rear wiper wont switch off once engine runnin...have to switch off then on again to turn off...
I also have a smaller pulley and a chip to fit, these easy fit? where do i get a shorter belt from? also power steering belt is squeeling but looks full adjustment but bolt is very stiff? new adjuster or just belt and slacken off adjuster?
please please guys help me out....will try upload some pics of her soon as im looking to get her mint then possibly sell if anyones interested.....has a real rare recaro electric fabric interior in in mint condition......
