My CSL

digi · 28-05-2009, 11:03 AM

Hi everyone,

finally got my CSL abt 2-weeks now and having some minor headaches with her. First up here's a photo of her.

My door seem to not respond to unlocking and this happens on and off, which really drives me crazy.

The driver side door lock actuator is busted and lucky it broke before I received the car and will be covered for. But the passenger side decides to work on and off. I'm not sure whether its the GM5 or actuator. Anyone had similar issues?

Apart from these little hiccups, I'm really enjoying her but not had much time to explorer her yet. The mrs seems to drive it harder than I do

There are no tracks where I'm staying now (Hong Kong) and I won't get a chance until I get back to the U.K for a holiday. Which seems like never

Looks lovely mate, suns caught a hint of blue to the paint. Whats happened to the driver seat cushion too?

Hi Mark,

will take it to my local specialist next week for the driver door actuator to be replaced. Just sometimes the passenger door does not respond after locking. I generally have to pull the passenger door once to release the lock then restart the car. Then everything returns to normal. WEIRD.

Have read that when the GM5 is on the way out this tends to happen. Not sure if this applies to the CSL though.

u caught that one. The mrs needs it so she can drive it comfortably. She's a right nutter in it though.

She tells me the car seems to want her to drive quicker.
