  1. It was a monday afternoon, everyone was at work.
  2. Only time will tell I guess. I will report back in a week or so ha
  3. There's no blue smoke any other time I use the car. I presume this was just the engine being cleaned with the sea foam.
  4. Hi, I bought a can of Seafoam recently after reading some reviews which praise the product so much. in a nutshell the product clears the internals of the engine. And there are 3 ways to use this; 1 - Pour around 1/2 can into the fuel tank 2 - Suck the other 1/2 in through the vacuum hose The above is what i did. 3 - You can also put some directly into the oil (WARNING: Change oil after MAX 500 Miles) Before I seafoamed the car was a little rattly on idle and some of the gears juddered a bit. THE VIDEO: Afterwards the idle was quiter and smoother, the pull through the gears was very smooth and the car felt a lot more responsive. I recommend filling 1/2 the fuel tank on super unleaded and adding 1/2 a can of seafoam into this :) Jamie
  5. Depends how far the callipers stick out compared to the original Corrado ones. You could use spacers.
  6. You will need 20mm spacers on the front to clear the callipers. They are multi fitment so there's is a 5x100 drilled pattern and 5x112 drilled pattern. I will upload the slight kerbing pics tomorrow. very minor though.

  9. my bad, VR6, Im guessing its to the top left of the rocker cover?
  10. Hi All, I will be using Seafoam tomorrow to clean the internals of the engine. 1 question, does anyone have a picture of where the vacuum hose is located and where i can disconnect it to run the seafoam through? Thanks
  11. Thanks Dox :)Ill give it a go in the morning
  12. Another electrical problem with my VR6, When i switch main beam on my dipped lights turn off and the main beam doesn't come on. 1) When i turn main beam on should the dipped lights stay on aswell? 2) If above is correct then i guess its a wiring loom issue?

  14. Hi All, My windscreen wiper motor has recently stopped working, well i say stopped, the wipers go up but dont go down. I assume the motor is on it way out. Where can i get hold of a new motor? I've seen on ebay but i would rather a new one if possible. Thanks
  15. I was on my way home from players show today and my windscreen wipers and jets stopped working all of a sudden, although 10 minutes previously they had been working. I have checked the fuse and it is absolutely fine. What could be the problem?

    Squeaky Brakes

    Hi All I am a bit of a noob when it comes to brakes. My brakes squeak when i brake, i assume this means i need new pads? Thanks
  20. Hi Guys, I have recently bought a Corrado VR6 and i have a few problems that i would like to sort out. 1) The lights behind the speedo seem to flicker and flash and sometimes go out (the colour of the lights have been changed), what could be the problem? 2) The heater only works on setting 4 Does anyone have answers for the above? If so that would be awesome. Thanks Jamie
  21. Hi All, After wanting a Corrado since a child (im 22 now), i decided it was the right time to buy one. I bought a black 2.9 VR6 for £2,500 from a great guy in Milton Keynes. Lots of service history, perfect interior, looks good (minor rust) and sounds amazing. Few Pics; I have a few questions but I will post and ask in the relevant forum sections. Thanks :) Jamie
