randal replied to bristolbaron's topic in General Car Chat
Ah I do 500 miles a week in a valver, getting 410-425 miles out of a tank mostly motorway driving. Don't sell it... you know it makes sense. :D -
Just spoke to them's peeps in Farnham, they said the Corrado only needs adjustment at the front as the rear is untweakable?? Either way he said cambers and front toe should cover a susp upgrade for 45 quid + vat. Not baaaad.

Furki - good to know, i'm about 5 minutes from Manor Royal too. Haaandy. :D

Will do, think it'll be Monday though unless they're open on Sunday...

I've got the Brembos up front on mine, and I'm very happy with them. So much so have now gone for Brembos front and back. At the moment I'm running them with Pagid FR's, but this time the guy stopped me from getting Pagid FR's and recommended EBC Green Stuff. I'll give them a go, if they suck it's back to FR's. 8)

Bugger, that's why it was so quiet last time I went down there :lol:

New Forest Corrado Driver's Dogging Meet?

Had a nose through the suppliers forum, couldn't find much so... As I know a few of you are from around the West Sussex area, can any of you recommend a laser alignment place around here? Cheers in advance :D

Sounds like the seals to me, I've got a similar problem with a couple of the same symptoms as you. I get a smell of fumes, burning through oil at a rate of knots, and the like. I do have a small oil leak, but not enough to constitute the loss I've got. Do you get a bit of blue smoke on startup? Or is it constant? Or is it only when you stick your foot down? Might be time to get that head rebuilt, that's what I'm doing in the hope it's not the bottom end - else that's getting done next!

Fixed me offside main beam, as it decided it wanted to throw a strop a few weeks ago. Didn't realise there was another bank of 3 fuses from a BRM headlight loom hidden behind the battery! Fuse change, sorted :D Nice. Managed to get my Passat W8 light to mount properly, and the panel to sit sturdy. Just need to make up some side masks for the gap I had to create and I'll post some pics. Oh also started on the road to "red" by changing the cigarette lighter surround. Next week the fun starts with the ramps... bring it on :twisted: :D

I'll let gradeAfailure know as he's very kindly offered to do mine for me! Hopefully my spare set of dash clocks should be here next week so I can start getting creative with those too. Yay, red!

novaprospekt.co.uk? Half Life 2 fan? :D

It is a fair price, nice spec too. Besides - whats 100K on today's engines? Especially a diesel, just getting bedded in!

Ooo, forgot that one. It's a doddle to do the slave, cheap parts too. GSF do them for very reasonable money. If you search on here for clutch slave replace, there is a stack load of info.

Think it might be Mr Orwell's classic, good news is you can get it on DVD now if you don't fancy the read! http://www.playusa.com/playusa.asp?page ... tle=111659

1980? Wasn't it 1984? Or is there another book about the 80's? *shudder*

Ah Darwin, father of evolution - the progress of life. Sadly, Chavs = progress? If anyone needs me, I'll be on the Galapagos Islands proving Mr D wrong!
