Also, for info I think Chris (lilfuzzer) on here has some matching fronts, and he's based in Bishop Auckland...

I've got these 'Atout' grey rears from my 95 8V, good condition, smoke / pet free car. Collection from near Silverstone...[ATTACH=CONFIG]80575[/ATTACH]

where are you in Northamptonshire?

Check for split turbo hoses / hoses that have slipped off - is there any excessive smoke?

The spine runs left to right and the 'handle' is circled in red (1) half way down this thread (Corrado club of Canada image). This moves left to right about 10mm to lock over the connector keyways. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4188696-Does-my-fusebox-look-wierd&p=54254673&viewfull=1

Have a look at the rear of the fuse board, make sure all the multiplugs are home and the black release 'spine' pin that locks them into the board is home (it slides about 10mm and should be flush with the end of the board if it's in locked position). From memory the yellow plugs cover lights. Also check the multiplug to the rear of the instrument clocks is correctly seated. The multiplugs are a pain to plug in (limited access under the dash) and can easily be incorrectly seated before the spine pin is pushed home, if it looks like someone has recently worked on the fuse board it could be an issue with this. Just found the link to the CE2 info http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html

Saw a Green (I think - it was dark) M plate VR6 at the Woodlands gym at the Gaydon site today looked tidy and fairly standard - seems there are a few on site now, saw a Twilight VR6 parked up on Tuesday evening too...

My 8v has a VIN less than 10 away from that, the body was built on 27/10/94 and it was registered in the UK 05/01/95.

Hi, is the passenger wing available? Also what suspension are your running and is this available? Andy

Big thanks to Chris (lilfuzzer) for sorting out the hump rear seat and Jetex system for me (and being patient waiting while I got the opportunity to collect them). A credit to the forum, top guy. Also thanks to Purple Tom for replying to my wanted ad for the rear beam, and also coming up with the goods with a headlight switch, again top guy.

Now sourced - thanks to lilfuzzer's Corrado parts emporium! Really good guy, credit to the forum. Cheers Chris!.

ll sorted now, many thanks to Purple Tom - top fella!

Have you considered resin casting them with a silcone mould from the original? You should get a better surface finish and a lower cost parts.

Tom, you have PM!

Hi, I'm looking for a bare rear beam suitable for a late model 8v / 16v car. I want to rebuild the beam with new hubs and brakes so don't need them on there, also I'm looking at getting it blasted and powder coated so no bushes (or worn bushes) is OK but ideally not too much rust. Midlands based if possible - let me know what you've got. Thanks Andy

Looking good! How are you finding the AP coilovers?

Call VW Heritage - there shipping looks like it would be £8.50 - you may have to wait a while for shiping but it will probably save fabrication work in the long run... https://www.vwheritage.com/vw_act_shop.carriageRates.htm Andy

No problem, could be worth calling Heritage about getting hold of them for you as it could avoid costly shipping costs (they haven't got that many Corrado parts on their website yet).

Classic parts have the RH - could be worth dropping them a line (or Heritage - Anna on here) to see if they're going to be re-introducting the LH? http://shop.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/vwcp/unterholm-535809848.html

They are all unique, there's only one location for each plug, but if you want to take out the guess work, this should help as to where each one goes... http://www.a2resource.com/electrical/CE2.html Make sure the black centre spine connector lock is in the correct position to allow you to put them in and then pushed into the locked position once they're in.

I usually see this parked up at the end of G - Dec, there's also usually a dark green (VR6?) in the car park behind the gym, and there's also a Twilight VR6 on site sometimes too...

Not really that rare, you can buy them from Heritage for £28.50...

PM sent regarding back seat. Andy

Cheers Chris, That's the one, I'm only after the back seat though. Andy

Yes please Chris, are they the same pattern as the 8v set I picked up? I've also got a wanted ad with a pick but I can't seem to get the link with my phone...
