well after a little drive today, just on the way home oil light comes on and all starts beeping, so pull over and take a look under the car

 

To find this

 

 

After being towed home, car comes apart to find out what was leaking

 

 

 

We found what it was after turning it over and more oil pooring out:(:(

 

It was the pipe on the left

 

 

To find it split like this

 

 

Car is all up and running again now, thank god :):):):):):)

Looking good in the back dude, best effort at stripping the back yet still neat in a Corrado.

 

I take it you got a rad fan sorted, if not i have 1, bought it as mine had failed then it got removed when i got the slimline, used for approx 12-18 months.

[Rob_G60 0]

New car mats

Venom Alloy Bonnet Lifters

Alloy Boot Lifters

Chrome Door Lock Kit

Chrome Door Lock Latches

[g60bv 0]

any further developments?

[boost monkey 0]

Glad to see you fixed the leak buddy, but is that rubber hose actually rated safe to carry hot oil?

 

Personally, I wouldn't have thought so? :scratch:

another little update

 

Been cleaning up the wheels the past week and finished them tonight

 

the fronts were ok, but the inner bits were crap, so i wet and dryed them with 800 then moved on to 1200, then got them up to a mirror polish

 

 

Then the next job was the the main pipe that comes out of the charger

 

Before it was black

 

Then used nitromorse to remove the paint and then on to the 1200 wet and dry

 

 

after a quick polish up look like this

 

 

this is how the car will be going to sleep to night like

 

 

My blue HT leads come today so will fit it all tomorrow, then my new rad on saturday

looking nice rob. but i must say g60'd dont like foam filters. they dont stop fine dust which can turn to a paste on the apex seals..

[Rob_G60 0]

yeah thinking of cleaning the old one up and refitting it, whats the best way to clean it

[Rob_G60 0]

There we go, old one back, thought the new one looked way to small :clap:
