    Hi all. It's probably bin covered before but what does the small belt in the supercharger do? Just removing the charger to do a water pump and noticed its snapped! Could this be why it feels slow? Thanks Wayne

    I no about the arch after the filler fell out when a land rover hit me lol. I'm probably going to fit a new arch/quarter panel on it. I've sorted the the inner wing already. It was a "little" crusty. Could do with a couple of sills to. Looking forward to getting her back to tip top condition because like you say, there's only a handful left. Real shame you have no pics. I have some from 5/6 years ago and it looks the nuts. I'll keep a eye out for any meets with aren't to far away from both of us. Any plans for your g60 or are you just a standard guy?

    Hi all. Ok, my 60 is over fuelling massively. My mate put it on the co machine today and the lambda is showing far to high. Possible 2 problems. 1 is that my manifold as a very slight blow. Either crap gasket or very small crack. The other is that I fitted a cheap lambda sensor and not a bosch 1. So could the manifold be drawing air in and making the lambda think it needs more fuel or is it a chap sensor? Hope that makes sense, I'm not a mechanic :)

    WOW!!!!!

     

    I owned H678 XAB Ten years ago, purchased her in 2001 if I remember rightly and owned her for about Three years. It's a German import which I got from a guy who was stationed in the army out there, I was the first full time UK resident owner. It was his pride and joy and he'd really looked after the car, was on about 100,000 KM's when I took ownership. It used to have electric half leather Recaros with matching rear seats and leather door cards, which I sold as I got an offer I couldn't refuse for just the interior. I replaced it with a mint black cloth interior which I had to hand, I also fitted the late spec bonnet which came from my crashed VR6. The car was in really nice condition when I sold it, all very standard apart from 17@ Momo wheels and driving like a dream.

     

    Fantastic to see she's still alive!!!!!!

     

    I've not long picked up another LHD G60, a Dutch car this time which I imported myself. Dam I wish I had a spare grand and the space as I'd have this back for nostalgic value.

     

    Wow, that is very interesting. It really is a small world. Im sure you will be happy to no I'm keeping her :). Leather RECAROS!!! Nooooooo! Tbf tho, the lad I bought it off would of just sold them anyway. I've got pictures of it when it was spotless. Unfortunately, it isn't so tidy anymore. Well, it looks buggered tbh. The last owner who was a chap from Endon, S-O-T, really didn't give it the love it deserves. BUT, the tax and mot runs out at the end of December so it's strip, dip, weld and paint time. Going to fully rebuild the engine 2. It'll be a lengthy project (9-12months or so) but hopefully, I'll be able to return her to her former glory. Do you have any pictures of her from when you had it? If your local, fire round for a brew. Well, that really has put a smile on my face :)

    Hi all. After putting another charger on it and it blowing again, I'm selling my g60. Really sad to do this but unfortunately I can't afford to keep chucking money at it. It was a "faulty" charger.

    Hi, I'm a courier. Leaving them outside like that is stupid but if it's safe to do so, I always leave parcels as I feel I'm doing the customer a favour so they get the parcel straight away. Saying you havent received could result in the driver being sacked. Whoever has the account with the courier company needs to put in a claim :)

    I have the same problem and my mechanic is leaning towards the fuel pump (the 1 in the tank) but tbh, I'm still not sure. I'm going to try what you've done first i think :)
