New G40 purchase, road going project.
« on: September 21, 2024, 10:24:33 pm »
Hey all, I bought a G40 back in july this year, it had been off the road for over 5 years and wouldn't rev up, only idle.

Since then I've got it revving up nice, there was a fault with the alternator. I've got an mot on it and been on a few short trips with it.

I'd like to do some more maintenance work on it. T belt, water pump, service and service the charger. The clutch needs doing, so if anyone can recommend a decent upgrade or a better clutch that fits from something else.

I really want to keep this as a road going project and not get too carried away with it. I’d rather use it and enjoy it first and foremost.

I'll post some pics here as I go along.

Nice one. If you've not done it yet though I strongly advise changing the timing belt on the charger along with the other maintenance if you don't do the charger rebuild straight away.

Good advice thanks, hopefully I'll get around to doing the t belt this week  :D

If anyone has any advice about posting pics on here,would be much appreciated. I've got a lot of pics of my old G40 from about 10 years ago I'd like to share.
