Well had a quick checkover of it today and found a few bits that need doing.

 

Passenger inner CV boot has split (just ordered a new boot and joint)

Passenger driveshaft seal is leaking oil - what is the CTN gearbox fitted too so that i can order a seal?

Passenger steering rack boot completely split

Front brake pads really low

Rear exhaust rubber almost completely split

Horn doesn't work

Front wipers are useless, don't really clear the screen at all

Front headlights are quite poor to be honest

 

Any body got any advice for the last few problems or recommendations?

 

Thanks in advance

- lupo or TT wipers, standard are notoriously crap.

 

- uprated loom via relays that power the lights direct, rather than through the light switch - which can catch fire btw.

 

do a search on both, plenty of recommendations, wiring diagrams for the lights and sticking an inline fuse on the light switch :)

thanks mate, i'll have a search for them then, the lad who i bought the car from told me he'd put lupo gti wipers on it, but this morning put them to clear my screen and they just skimmed straight over the top of it.

 

was thinking of fitting a HID kit as i had one on my golf and was brilliant, but wasn't sure whether the Corrado loom would be able to power it or not, or whether the headlights would work with them

very nice G60 mate looks like a good buy with a nice spec also

I want your wheels!

[furiokid 10]

have to admit they're one of my favourite parts of the car :)

I have wanted some black D90's for a long time, just gotta wait for the fundage (plus there's always something else that needs the money instead!)

i know you havnt had it too long but how have you found the idle speed with the kent cam?i hear they can be a right dog at low speeds? (im thinking of a cam myself)

[furiokid 10]

well as you can see, she needs some money spending on her, and i was somewhat prepared for it going from a newer car to an older one......just for the pleasure of keeping another Rado alive :)

to be honest i've found it idles fine with kent cam, on first start up (cold or warm) the idle goes up and down for a few seconds and then levels itself out (this may be normal for a G60?)
