Hi all
So I've had my cl600 2005 for couple months now. Hooked on the power and class of the machine. I've done about 3000 miles in it and it's not gone wrong yet! Well nothing major anyway. Since I got it I've fixed the aircon. Fixed the multi CD player. Replaced bulbs. New intercooler pump and that's about it. It has still a few issues but I'm learning about them before I decided to diy or dealer fix.
I live on Norfolk Cambridgeshire border. I've not seen another cl600 around since my ownership. Is anyone else local ? And is there anyone local who is good at repairing the cl Lol because I might have to cross your palm with gold...
cheers

Yer I've had many cars Supra tt. 300zx tt. Scooby. Ect. I love the 600. I have got too old for the jap imports. I want the performance and the luxury now. Less white knuckle and more laid back and half asleep while catapulting to 60 in under 5 secs. Lol. I'm ok with the spanners but the abc suspension scares me and I've just found a leak. Best I save some money to fix asap !!!

nick, thanks for the info.

Daveb44

Yes thanks for the links and info. I've had a very good read up. I'm capable of repairing and serving the abc Only bugger is since I moved earlier this year I've not got a big enough garage and workshop to get the car in. So I'm going to stop using the car and wait till it warms up abit till I repair or borrows someone's workshop.

Don't stop using it
letting these cars sit for weeks or months causes all kinds of electrical and abc problems

at least use it once a week to keep the suspension working and electrical charged up

Daveb44

I didn't think about that. Problem is the roads in my area are rubbish. Full of potholes and bad surfaces. I suppose I could have a slow cruise about for a hour once a week keeping on the better roads . I don't fancy the pipe blowing on me. Need to get it fixed as soon as really .
Thaks for the advice .

Just a 15 minute drive to the store every week is fine
