One of the prospective buyers of my car had a HPI check done on my car and according to them in 1995 my car had a full respray in burgandy pearl and that it used to be grey. I know this is bollocks because ive basicly had the car to a bare shell and the whole thing is burgandy, not a hint of grey, under the carpet, bulkhead, all purple, i wouldnt take it to heart man

I used abode premier pro, sellin the car because i was plannin on goin to the land down under again but the more i drive it the less i want to sell it

this is very true, when they're good, they're good, but when they suck by god do they suck

All the mounts together should be about 100 notes ish if you buy from GSF or some place like that, i fitted mine myself so i cant tell you about costs, pretty easy job to be honest, only one that takes a bit of pissing about with is the rear engine one

i wanted to put together a wee vid of my rad so that when i sell it ill have something to remind me of it and pics dont do it justice, it needs to be mobile so i threw this together, check it Click here to watch my G-unit mo-fo's 8)

in the mornin it sits at about 60-70 psi, once its all warned up its about 10-15 psi at idle, dunno if thats right but thats what mine does and its not dead yet

man if that sorts you out for £4.20 then keep us informed, im prettyy sure my belts are slippng hefty

Aye my one leaks a bit too, typical that the G60 ones would be super expensive eh

Aye?!?!? My genuine mk3 golf matrix lasted 8 months, dunno why these things just eat their way through matrixes

Nope never run, ive never disconnected the alternator, just disconected the battery to charge it and put it back in again

Yep it sure does, but once the car is running the light goes out, surely if the circuit isnt charging correctly then the light would show on the dash, isnt that the whole point of it being there??

I greased up the battery terminals today and charged it, i bunged it back in the car and put the voltmeter accross it, its now reading 12 volts, ill try changin the brushes/regulator as i have a spare one, it bloody weird like

Thats the thing my alternator is a genuine vw one as well, brand new 8 months ago

Its a G60 mate, self tensioning eh, ill investigate the cable running from the alternator to the battery, its the only thing in the setup that isnt well new

The brushes were new with the alternator but ill investigate, Student - yeh that was measured at idle

Cheers for that man thats ace, i charged up another battery and lobbed it in, when i fired up the car the voltage accross was 12.6v, should be 14v right?? The thing is the alternators only 8 months old, anything else that could be causing the lack of charge?? Can the battery drain through the alternator?? Cheers guys

The altenator is about 8 months old, i dont think the lights go dim, any of you guys know how i can test the drain on the battery with a multimeter, ill just go hauling out fuses till im on a winner

My car has started munchin its way through batterys, i thought it was just a guff battery so i replaced it with a bosch silver top mother, by this morning it wouldnt even turn, plenty clicks from the starter tho, the thing is when i check to see how much voltage is in the battery it says 14 odd volts, odd?? If i put the battery on charge for an hour everything is mint for a couple of days Any suggestions?? There is no boot light before anyone suggests that one :D Cheers

Type of rad do you have man?? 16v, G60, Vr6?? That will help, a pic would also do wonders for some responses

If it is slipping what can you do to remedy apart from a toothed belt conversion?

Merc sprinter intercooler, cheap as chips, make up your own pipes and off you go, not gonna come anywhere near 600 notes, infact so far its lookin like its gonna cost me about 100 Mind you i managed to get the cooler for free

Nah i took that off ages ago man, it was knockin off the subframe so it got turfed On a side note rodders that on the other side of the car

There is a noise coming from my passenger side area on the car, its like a rubbery clunking noise which apears when i go over bumps and stuff, if the cars been sitting over night then it takes maybe 5 or 10 mins for the noise to appear. The car has new VR6 top mounts, new botton balljoints, new wishbones, new trackrod ends, new drive flange and wheel bearing. I can recreate the noise by pushing up and down on the passenger side of the car. I was pretty convinced it was the coilover but i took it off checked it and it looke dfine, i replaced it with another one anyway but the noise is still there Any ideas guys, its hampering the enjoyment of my G60 mobile :(

thay make a tapping noise because they are wee solenoids, they're electric, thats your noise man

Bollocks to it, forced induction is the way forward like :)
