id say the most exp things would be...serious rust(rare) , power steering rack, cat/emmisions probs,crackedwindscreen/lamps/abs probs common probs would be brake lines/hoses , bushes ,tyres,brakes etc...all common stuff you'd be silly to pay good money for a car with little mot...anyone with any confidense will put a new mot on it
-
yeah they should be like vag bolts...as far as i know they all use the radius type for steel/alloys
-
its the seating area of the bolt that you need to look at...oem bbs need radius seat...most aftermarket ones use taper so thats\ / = no ( ) =yes
-
maybe they didnt mix it properly...as a rule most mettalics need blending....that is spray the door completly ,and belnd basecoat into the ajoining panles then laquer the whole lot...obviously the match needs to be somewhere near or it would still stand out
-
panels should be fine ..they have slightly differant bumpers and lights ,but it'l swap...mot should be fine and my insurance isnt high on a lhd...slightly more by about £60 than rhd
-

-

i lost the cat on my g60...didnt make any differance,id leave it till its blocked/broken
-
by the sounds of it a good thrash will help..if you havent serviced it for a while consider an oil change,air filter and new plugs if you only do short journeys to work its worth taking her for a long run once in while
-
thats intresting..my sns chip is a bit rich..bilal is sending me another one to try soon
-
when you say oe leads...is that the quantum one the dealer sells...or can you get vag branded ones??

the rubber hose often perishes at the end of the fuel rail..check for leaks as it can be dodgy

-
one of the middle "ok" leds are lit at idle..i understand it should cycle once warm
-
my a/f gauge wont cycle at idle...ive tried another gauge thats spare and it does the same thing....the car starts and drives normal and the a/f cycles when cruising....its on a G60
-
i thught i read that they were fiat coupe rear lights? and i think some lorrys?? had em....once you sourced the lamps it wouldnt be too hard to make a mold of a rear lamp and make the shell from glass fibre
-
my pump packed up and there was NO assistance..so i replaced the pump with a used one and had agro with that..in the end i called out an auto electrician and he made a good one out of the two for £60 might be worth a try..he was pretty good,theres a few sensors that can cause agro
-
try droping the sump and cleaning the oil strainer..they can be blocked
-
i think parts do have 12 months guarntee...worth a try
