well sorted the fan issue out. 1st I soldered a new resistor to the motor but mine still only worked on 4, took dans advice and hooked it up to a light here is the initial results so at the end of the video the s(shape) bent metal was not making correct contact in the switch runner. I used this thread: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=47180 then got this as results thought I would post up this info, maybe helpful.... right on to the sunroof!

hmm interesting, will have a mooch tomorrow. thanks for the tips had a look at my sunroof today, which seems to work ok manually, ordered a new motor for cheap as im getting a live feed to it, didn't work at all firstly then had a fiddle with it and now it moves it slightly. so I took the motor out and it seems to be intermittent, will go back and forth o.k fully functioning some times and then nothing at all other times ill try the new motor, im hoping its not intermittent power....if it is I may just close it and disconnect it:bonk:

ran a light, light doesn't work 1-3 lights up on 4, I presume this is a switch problem?

run a light from the pos and neg of the wires in the fan housing?

yeah thought as much, im going to paint and seal the ceiling this winter and see how it is before I garage it. its mainly damp as the garage is at the bottom of the drive and bad rainfall flows down the drive overflows into the garage, it does eventually vent through the rear of the garage into the rear garden (im on a hill) maybe ill look at making that a bit more free flowing. just trying to weigh up the pros and cons of garaging or running

hi all, ive always ran my cars through winter, albeit changing to winter wheels. just made sure they had a good coat of sealant and wax I purchased my rado knowing ill spend more on it than its worth and never really intended it to be a daily, weekend runner and a few meets/shows and the occasional trip to the parents 200miles. so on that basis, what advice can people give for garaging it over winter? do you put it away never to be seen until may? do you start it every so often and just let it tick over to nominal temp? or just wait for some half decent weather and take it out for a run once or twice? my garage is not a heated haven and does get 'damp' is it worth covering or as I suspect could that actually be bad? This year it will be in a garage being repaired, but would be interested to hear members winter routines?

nice one mate your a brave one....didn't come out too bad though considering

mods can move this thread to build if possible or required. been in hospital last couple of days (minor op no biggie) but haven't been myself, today I thought I would have a bash at the rocking seats and fan only working on 4, so got new fuse from maplins,cut old one out soldered new fuse in. oooops still only works on number 4? don't know whether I applied to much heat or its a problem else where. took my seats out (glad I did because they needed a good clean) replaced all runner plastics and rubbers. but my problem is not in the base of the seats but in the actual back rests, also not loose extensively in the hinge bracket. it seems to be in the adjustment rest. put basically, when adjusting the back height I can twist the adjuster to pick said height, but if I apply pressure (lean back) the seat will move, this is what is causing the rocking motion, I have no idea how to fix this? changed my door handle before I went into hospital and found a company who love the motor and want to take it on for welding and re-spray, currently negotiating a price but they seem good lads, might ask them if I can get a bit hands on with it not to make it any cheaper, just because it would be interesting. anyway that's where I stand...watch this space

doh

what are sill scripts? :scratch:

used dave's door lock to fix drivers side door handle! tidied up engine bay de-wipered rear and purchased thermostat for fan only working on 4 fix god bless this forum ha ha

well done, first corrado? ive just got a vr6 myself......how good are they to drive!

ok so took it to my mechanic who did a vigorous pre mot check and came out with the following fails: near side door wont open from outside (now fixed thanks to daves door striker) wiring along back of engine not secure and not protected (now fixed with boost junkies engine kit) near side rear shock leaking (was thinking of these koni's http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231003189146) outer sill to inner arch rusty (body shop soon) will probably need a fabricated welded piece advisory's (theres a few!) both front seat back rests are slightly loose: not to sure on a fix for this, at first I thought it might be the clips in the runner, but if you sit on the base the rears still rock oil leak from engine: ill have to investigate front exhaust down pipe rubbing on anti roll bar: don't know the front has been lowered on lowering spring, i've had cars lower than this so i am unsure as to the reason chassis leg along floor surface rust: brushed off with wire brush and treated with hammerite, soon to waxoyl bottom near side front inner arch insecure: i've felt around drivers side and I seem to be missing a piece that attaches rear of inner arch to body work, I have no idea what this piece is if anyone can help? cv boot on front side starting to split might try one of those easy fit boots and do it myself so a fair bit to get on with any help or advice or daft comments appreciated! :thumbleft:

cheers dave received mine quick and it worked a treat! thanks again

damn....was just looking at one, suppose it will be full price then

ha superb dan a local lad, you'll have to pm me and let me know if there is anywhere you source parts from and servicing garages etc one of the lupo...now in the hands of the wife one of the old t4 ej, ill give you a shout in a couple of weeks deffo, im trying to get as oem as possible with the speakers, but ive got to check out the rear of the head unit and the wiring first, there maybe a underlining reason as to why they were removed! cheers

hey taylor, just reading through your thread now, looking good mate, ud13 was good wasn't it. I had just got a go pro and did a little video of all the all dubs convoy and bits from the show, it was my first attempt you can all check it out amateur remember :afro: and that is me at the end 'by a corrado!'

well its black, my best guess would be black pearlescent (it has shiny bits in :scratch:) its not going to be a daily as such, but I want to use it, first things first im going to get it mechanically checked out, then sort passenger side door lock, then sort sun roof out, then tackle some of the arch rust and possibly look for a new boot lid as there is corrosion around parts of the rear glass (I suspect with the glass out it would look worse) then I might consider re-spray matt black cheapo style. id love a fresh paint job, but my cars seem to scratch just by looking at them (usually I blame the wife and kids) and I would be mortified if I had spent 3k+ only for my daughter and her mates trying to wedge her bmx out of the garage past the car scratching it......yes that has happened so get it back to good working order is the plan for now

long time ago, but are these still available dave?
