Hi. I recently fitted a headlight upgrade kit from Rayne Automotive. Well made with good instructions. Any questions were answered quickly by email. Well worth it. http://www.rayneautomotive.co.uk/shop/article_2/Corrado-Uprated-Headlight-Loom.html?sessid=ja2jU6i3cLFhPqt7Rc6dxY6GpeLoZ0zVP1eabVohGhvXKTt1Au9fSrmPWrLvhvte&shop_param=cid%3D2%26aid%3D2%26

Yeah all tyres good and two brand new tyres on the front as one had a bad repair.

A few months into sorting out all issues with my corrado I bought and that had been off the road of over 2 years with only 80k on the clock, I thought I was nearly there. I have replaced all the rear brake pipes and flexi hoses, both rear calipers. Both front hubs and ABS rotors, wheels bearings. All 4 sensors changed and ABS light goes out as it should do. Front calipers are in good shape and have been replaced recently. All discs and pads are good with minimal wear. I have had a wheel alignment done and after many attempts it still pulls slightly to the left. All track rod ends are in good condition. The car failed an MOT on the balance across the rear brakes was more then 30%. It was the offside caliper not performing. It was stripped and no change and then a new one fitted. This brought it under the 30% and passed but still not balanced. the MOT tester told that the initial bite was low and then it built up and but still not inline with the near side. I have coilovers fitted and the rear is now the same height as the front. Rear bias valve has not been adjusted and it looks original and rusty. So my problem is under braking it pulls badly to the left. I think I will have to replace the rear bias valve and adjust to get the balance to the front again. But would this have any affect on the imbalance across rear brakes? I'm in Aberdeen and would be happy to take it to someone that has experience with this. It will be going up,for sale once it's all sorted but as it is just now I can't let anyone drive it. Thanks for reading this long winded story..

Hello all. So today I picked up my first Corrado. Nearly bought one years ago but now just getting round to scratch that itch. It been a bit of a barn find really. The gentleman I bought it from has had it off the road for just over 2 years due to ill health and it was his weekend toy up till then. So this little black 96 Corrado has only 80,000 miles on it, speed lines, black leather that need buckets of leather care poured on to it and no mods at all. No service book but a pile of receipts and paper work to back up the mileage all the way back to 97. But its not without it little problems. We'll more like in need of loving. I spent today putting on new door seals as he thought he lost the keys some time back and went at the door seal with a coat hanger. No leaks now. Leaking Heater matrix hose changed and new rear calliper as the good old seized one smoked its way bak home and toasted a set of pads. All changed. Both strut top mounts are on there way out and a nice bong while on hard lock. I was going to change them until I found half a coil sitting in the coil cup so I'll wait until I get some new coils. And this leads me to a problem. One of the rear struts is a bit weepy and all of them are looking like original items and probably on there way out. My problem is do I leave this standard Corrado standard or go for a full set and lower it a little bit? I want to drive it every day and not have to worry about it scrapping its face on bumps. Is 35mm lower enough to live with? Or standard? I'll try and get some pics when it's not raining. Ti look forward to getting to know my Corrado.

Do you still have these? I'm in Aberdeen so no postage needed.
