choclate mr whippy, that made me laugh :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

totally agree mate, my parents bought a 1993 mercedes SL500 with 50k on the clock, they had it a month and had alot of problems with the engine mamagement, needed about £2000 work done on it!! it was done to its relative low usage! good quality cars need to be driven they live for big mileage :D

well bugger me! whats a rough figure for the price? in the region of............????

Oh yeah there is a buyers checklist for all models floating about somewhere, type in buyers checklist in the search and u should get it!!

welcome to the forum, most of your questions will be throughly answered by using the search, type in g60 vs vr6 for some rather hetaed debates :wink: the main thing with the g60 is the supercharger will need rebuilding at least every 60,000miles (thats if nothing goes wrong before that!!) most of the cheaper g60's will need a rebuild, when the charger is upgraded it is quicker than a standard vr6, but in stock form the vr6 is the quickest of the range. as for the prices, some vr6's may go for 9k,some maybe for 3k!! 5.5/6 is enough to get a decent vr6, beware that most of the cheaper corrados will have in excess of 100k on the clock, dont be put off by this as long as the car has a good history, vw's eat a 100k for breakfast!!! A really good G60 will probabble be about 5k tops and thats with a decent amount of charger work!! The RB5 is a nice car, ive only had the pleasure of driving a P1, I thought that was awesome by the way!!!

123k and no ripped bolster, you lucky son of a ........ :wink: myne had 123k when i got her in november, shes now got 126k :( and yes i do have the obligatory ripped bolster!! :(

jabba may have once been the best place for g60's, but alot of people on this forum have had bad experience with their customer service, so thus, they now have a bad reputation :lol:

good choice, i would of went for that, evo have one on fast fleet (long term test). as far as i can remember they havn't had one problem with it. i remember their SL55 and Audi RS6 having alot of problems. says it all really :lol:

couple of guys on here run it, there have a much better reputation than jabba :lol:

agree with henny, 16'' with a nice drop are perfect for a c. myne is way too uncomfortable, every bump feels like the tyre has burst, potholes are a bad nightmare! :evil:

17'', loads and loads of rubbing, anything over half a turn and she rubs, not too sure how much the car is lowered though, maybe someone could roughly guestimate from my pics??? no arch mods, or if there are any they aint working!! 8)

that is a tasty g60, love everything except the porsche badge in the dash, it is a vw not a porsche :wink: the paint work and leather look in lovely condition, the wheels are cool too.

most claimed 0-60 times for the g60 are slower than the 1.8 16v???

some idiot drove past me a few days ago in a seat hatchback with flames coming out of the exhaust. looked absolutley stupid :mad: , fair enough if the car is so powerful that flames come out of the exhaust naturally, but making them come out is just plain daft :shock:

German ,swedish and french car parts.

i think tha standard alarms are made by scorpion, dont quote me on it though, :mrgreen: check with a dealer. keys can be cut at some key-cutters

the display isnt the brighest in the world so your 'dim' display is probably normal, sorry if i insult your inteligence but theres a little switch near the light switch that dims/brightens the dash!! try rolling that up!

funny, they normally look like coupes.... exactly what i was thinking mate :shock: , some people hey? :mad:

Auto Glym stuff is excellent, i was gona get one of those kits at full price before crimbo :shock: glad i never now :lol:

couple of guys on the forum have a PS2 install, do a search and youll find em' :shock:

myne only gets up to about 75-80, but my radiator fan is always on, i havnt been bothered to fix it! turn your ignition on and have a look to see if the fan comes on straight away, if it does theres ya problem :lol:

im partial to oichans famous jap corrado!!

that clicking sound together with the central locking not working means that the central locking pump is broken. its in the boot under the carpet trim on the right hand side. its in a large sponge case, disconnect that, if the window still goes down it will probably be what 'gareth' has said. the central locking pumps are quite expensive from the dealers, but i think you can use a pump from an audi, cant rememeber which one though?!!

happens to me when the steering lock is on! takes a while to turn the key :(

ill av a look and make sure but its a lot more than 30/32, its something like 40/38 :shock:
