STORM 2

cheers Kev - I knew I could rely on you!

Has anyone who has done this mod noticed that the interior courtesy delay delay light remains on permanently once the door is closed? If the lights are on however, the interior courtesy light goes off after a few seconds once the doors are shut!! What kind of wiring ballsup have I managed to achieve here?? :oops: :oops: :oops:

Well I did a 6K oil change today using magnatec The oil filter that was in there was a MANN filter - with metal housing - and looked pretty good quality. The new filter ordered from the Stealer was plasticky and looked crap in comparison. I was also open at both ends whereas the existing MANN filter was closed at the top end. In fact the new filter looked so pathetic I just put the old one back in - after all it'd only done 6K miles. My first question is this : does the VW filter supplied ring any bels for anyone and where can I get MANN oil filters from cos they look much better Secondly, despite emptying the oil from the drain plug - there was still a reasonable quantity still present in the oil pan as indicated by the dipstick - even after fully draining from the drainplug. Should I drain the oilpan as well?

cheers Dan!

Cheers Eug, Andi----are---you---out---there??

:roll: :roll: :roll: nothing personal mate, but if youre speeding in a 30 zone whilst under the influence - you cant complain can you? Just count yourself lucky you didnt kill anyone. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but I suppose having seen children being prised out of front grilles and dashboards kinda leaves a bad taste......

Dub5tar - have you just nicked a porsche tonight or something? :wink:

Anyone know if these just go straight on the C, without spacers? And, what's the best size of tyre to use with 17" alloys on the car without compromising the ride quality? cheers

Autoglym do a leather cleaner and a restorer (which absolutely stinks and reminds me of the preservatives in the dissecting room) . But it really does the business on the leather if you put the effort in

yes what has happened to this group buy? could someone update us?

I have just been warned off replacing the front discs and pads by the VW stealer service department. They said that the ABS sensor will need to be disconnected and this warrants a full reset and "check" - something that I cannot do Is this true or am I being fed a load of baloney?

Bless her. doesnt she look lovely - be kind to her won't you?

Just wondered if anyone has tried this? http://www.radar-camera.co.uk/index.html

Sorry about the accident mate but I can only echo the fact that the main thing is that youre OK and ready to fight another day. As for insurance cover - a general question : In order to avoid the fuss insurance companies make in these situations, is it not possible to agree a figure for the replacement value prior to taking out the policy - Does anyone know of an insurance company that does this?

Bad luck mate - you have my condolences - I did exactly the same thing with my MK1 Golf when I was 17 - I learned my lesson to the point of paranoia regarding oil levels/temp/pressure Hope you get it sorted

OMG Phat - everyone wants to see your wheels don't they? :wink: :wink:

Glad you got it sorted - hope they gave you cash!! Seriously though shouldnt you let us all know who the trader was for the benefit of others who may fall into the same trap?

it all depends whether your leads need replacing thats all - they won't transform performance but as dazzy says - they will provide some underbonnet blue-bling - if you like that sort of thing

take stereo out and check the power lead hasnt come loose or has melted or something - can happen as these units get very hot especially in summer

Great idea Kev - Ive got a concept 500 - how do I do this?

HEAR HEAR!!

anyone know what colour wires feed the boot light cause I can't find any wires anywhere near my light!! Gavin - where are you? :? :?

very clean and restrained - looks good

unless youve the original vehicle order form, highly difficult - but there are clues see the CCGB guide on http://www.corradoclub.co.uk/Models/storm.html Mine came with a file full of receipts and original dealer work forms documenting the cars's Storm status from day one but i think i was lucky

when i changed mine I was ready to do something else it was so quick - so I took apart the coil pack to have a fiddle and clean it up before putting back - didnt resolve the misfiring but made a noticeable difference in low down pickup
