Last one it had it 'failed' with illegal number plates! :) Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daves16v 1 Posted April 4, 2004 As Corrado's have ABS niggles, itwill fail on this if your light is on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

20v turbo 0 Posted April 4, 2004 sound about time for rear swinging arm bushes mines a 1991 and it just scaped through last one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munkay 0 Posted April 4, 2004 Aye - I would say most problems will be with running gear as the cars are getting on a bit so it's to be expected. Shocks/Springs/Bushes/Arms etc... will most likely be the things that will be most expensive. Then the usual stuff like brake pipes etc... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubbprince 0 Posted April 5, 2004 mine was a bit of a killer....needed new discs/pads at back and brake flexi foses and on front section needed new copper brake lines. Also my 17's were rubbing on inner arch so i borrowed some 16's off of jonny at stealth racing... My tinted lights were fine as they were tinted blue and shone the right light out. ohh and seized calipers a maybe...mine needed one replacing on passenger rear....total cost of MOT £400+. For a 16v 1991 J plate with FSH...hmm. :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted April 5, 2004 Mine is due in a week or two.. i'm pretty confident that it should be all kosher though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted April 5, 2004 Mine got done a couple of months ago (the first time in my ownreship) and all it needed was a bit of headlight adjustment. :-P Which is nice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skid 1 Posted April 5, 2004 Rear handbrake,check it is ok, if not the rear callipers are favourites to go. :( PM me if they are not gripping enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted April 5, 2004 When I had G60 it cost me close to £700!! Fucking sill was rotten, brake pipes, rear shock, discs, pads etc etc. My brother bought it from me and had exactly the same problem with the sill. Cost him a packet to get through as well. :x Therefore avoid J221 LGA white G60 at all costs in the Aberdeen area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
