Reckon it would look even better will all-reds ;) Out of those two though, I'd go with the Inpros.

 

All Reds , smoked plates 8)

I had not thought of all red option, hmmm... might have to look for some now

 

Car just passed it's MOT & now registered in the UK officially so I have to get plates this week - I wanted black with chrome characters, but I gather it has to be 27 years old or more for those plates?

Smoked would be cool, as dark as possible/legal...

I'm with CazzaVR and StormchargedVR6, all reds would look lovely particularly all red Impros

That does look good CazzaVR, i like it...

How did your swap to black interior go?

It's still going... :lol: Got the carpet, pillar plastics and dash to go in. Bought a heater matrix today- be stupid not to swap it at the same time.

Collecting the car tomorrow morning from JKM with a new clutch in... :D

 

However the engine mounts and ISV are on the way out and need to be replaced ASAP... :(

Does anyone have an ISV for a 1991 G60 second hand?

What engine mounts are best, I guess the solid ones?

standard VAG ones.

Having collected the car from JKM today, the ISV has started working again, but only when the joint on the hoses is detached?

Anyone have any ideas as to what may be happening?

Is there a guide anywhere as to how to remove & clean the ISV as i seem to recall reading about this somewhere?

 

Part number that JKM gave me is 037 906 457D

 

Good news is that the new clutch feels great, very happy with it & whilst it was there they cleaned & oiled the gearbox, replaced the inner and outer CV boots + found and sorted a leak in the CAM cover gasket. Drives much better already despite still suffering from the issue above... :)

I'm still getting my head round this so any feedback on the results is very welcome...

Finally got round to getting a new grille in + the man from Auto Windscreens came round and put in a new windscreen - got the one with the tinted top :)

 

ISV issue all sorted, it had a cracked hose I had missed. Running like a dream again now.

 

Must get round to buying a bonnet bra & save the paint from those nasty stone chips...

Had a few small issues lately - was loosing oil, brake fluid and coolant?!

 

Turned out to be a combination of a few things all at once, so the chaps at Frenchmoor Racing did the following:

Fit new brake fluid hose

Renew the radiator top hose adaptor, seal and bolts. Bleed & test the system.

Replace the cam cover gasket, cam shaft seal, auxiliary shaft seal, crankshaft seal & gasket. Also got a new oil cap.

Fit new timing belt as previous was oil damaged.
