Saw a metallic green C in Lincoln on the Tritton Road just turning into the Halfrauds Carpark on Sunday lunchtime. Also saw a metallic blue C with FK style rear lights and non standard wheels parked in a Carpark next to the canal footpath. I think it was a factory carpark. Between Boultham Avenue and Triton road area. Couldn't get nearer then a 100 metres away.

Black C with a debadged grill, followed me from Woodhall Spa to Coningsby this morning around 8.45

Hi folks, I'm after a knock sensor and the idler pulleys for a '91 G60. Are they only available from the stealers or is there anywhere cheaper? cheers

Storm warning, that might have been me on saturday. Heading towards Navenby/grantham from Waddington/bracebridge on the A607? Were you heading towards Bracebridge - I think I did a quick wave! As for the colour, a very dirty looking black maybe. That's my neck of the woods.

Might be your rear rubber bumpstops. They're actually spring assistors as well. If they are perished could be causing the rear to sag a bit

Steve, its definately the pulleys. They're on there way out. Volkskraft have had them soaking in aerosol grease and they have quietened down a lot. Still wee bit squeaky. Will need doing in the medium term So are the pulleys VAG only or do GSF or EuroCar Parts sell them? Incidentally they replaced my rear axle bushes and engine belts (most parts supplied) and got it MOT'd for £145. Not bad I thought when I'd heard of £250 plus for bush replacements!

All the belts are from GSF, so hopefully they're up to spec. As for the pulleys, I'll have a chat with volkskraft tomorrow.

I've had the budgies in for a while but it used to disappear with a spot of WD40 or damp weather. I've now had enough! Just had the belts changed but the noise is still there. It's still in the garage at the mo getting the rear wishbones done. Volkskraft seems to think its probably knackered pulleys. Any idea on costs for these or possible other alternatives remedies?

What's the gen about using a slimline fan too? Do you recommend them? If so which ones? Sizes etc. Is that a better option than using the original ones?

Cheers G man, Do you know what thread it is? Are they easily available?

ok cheers mate

Anyone with EKTA help out with the screw for the U Bend?

Any chance someone could get me the part number and/or size of the screw/bolt that holds on the U bend?

reason you can't get a 60 number on a G plate is that DVLA will only allow the numbers 1 to 20 on the earlier plates. Pain I know. I got myself a personal plate a while back. Get it straight from DVLA if you're going to get one - its cheaper. Took all the forms down to the licencing office and they swapped all the details there and then. I was gob smacked!

Here are the bits I've got with pics. A couple of different angles on the rad and intercooler too
