everyone's a wuss these days, 'snowflake' generation that can't cope if their car actually needs some input from the driver Corrado has great steering, just make sure all the front bushes are in good order.

there's some ribbed foam lengths on ebay sold as door/side protectors, they just give you a few 12.5mm magnetic sticky stips to use to secure that, so 12.5mm or 25 would do, maybe 25mm would be better?

how about this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Self-Adhesive-Magnetic-Tape-Flexible-Craft-Sticky-Magnet-Strip-1m-5m-10m-20m-30m/332715591734?hash=item4d77650836:m:m5TYEPjPkKoiYccp-gDUZ8g I have some closed cell foam pads that I might try cutting to size and sticking this magnetic strip to

aftermarket wheels might have the wrong offset: https://www.japshop.co.uk/acatalog/WHEEL-OFFSETS-EXPLAINED---RIM-WIDTHS-ET---Q-A-S.html

I've had one of these for a year or two and although cheap they are excellent and very small, good picture, wide angle and number plates are easily readable, just leave it on the out of the box 2 minute recording and old file overwrite, easily hidden out of the drivers view to the side of and behind the rear view mirror, more expensive cameras like the Nextbase have nice magnetic fixings but I've been quite impressed with this little cheap one. about £32 when I got one but a bargain currently for £22.99! https://www.amazon.co.uk/TOGUARD-Blackbox-Dashboard-G-Sensor-Detection-Dashcam/dp/B01E6M084A/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1530882895&sr=1-5&keywords=dash+cam

there's a motor factor on ebay that does them for about £40 each but I waited until carparts4less had a 17% discount voucher code and I thin they worked out just over £35 each

Acceleration in 2nd and third gear with new injectors fitted, just to note this engine has a 7,200 rpm red line :)

then a leaking genuine VW rad that wasn't replaced that long ago, temporarily stuck in a cheapo rad bit it seems to cool just fine [ATTACH=CONFIG]93395[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]93397[/ATTACH]

well she's taxed and tested again and I've fitted new injectors recently, absolutely flies on them and so much smoother, should be after 27 years and 160k miles!

looks like front rubber late Corrado (1992 on) top mounts and generic rear rubber mountings and bump stops, seem to be a couple of front wishbone metal sleeve inserts there which I don't think any corrado used (there's locating rings in the subframe instead, coould be mk2 golf bits those)

after a bit of time away I'll be there this year :) 22 years with the same old Corrado though...

pm me an email address and I'll try to find my copy of the VAG workshop sections I have for the K-jet and 9A KE-jet system, from memory the vacuum system, temperature sensors and lambda are pretty key to getting the 9A running right at idle, plus the microswitch on the throttle body to trigger the idle circuit in the first place, if the tamper proof cap on the metering head on the 9A has been messed with it can be very dirricult to get things right as these are factory calibrated

The ideal replacement would be the EFI from a 1.8 16v Seat Ibiza, similar to the mk3 golf 16v system, but finding a doner car now would be hard. Sadly it may well be cheaper to fit a complete 20V engine with it's own injection system. But why replace the k-jet anyway?

I'd be inclined to change the track rods as the inner joints that screw into the rack ends get play in them, to check get someone to hold the track rod as you turn the steering from side to side, yoiu can feel a knock if the track rods are worn

VW would've lied anyway :)

get yourself an IR thermometer off Amazon, only about a tenner to put your mind at rest, then you can check for radiator blockages, sump oil temp everything...

but don't forget to check Carparts4less and ECP with discounts, they are often much cheaper to begin with I had a good quality lambda from ECP for £40 last month 12% off CP4less with XMAS12 ATM

actually this looks pretty good for a tenner, well £15 incl delivery https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thermal-Wrap-Cover-Battery-ndash/dp/B00PIO03GE/ref=pd_cp_263_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=51XMJZ741HCGQS5WVKZQ

if you are after a battery jacket there's quite a lot on ebay, but as most are pretty grotty looking and expensive I'd consider calling a vauxhall or ford garage and seeing how much they are new, all you need is one that matches the dimensions/code of your current battery

LOL been there!

40! Asda limited me to six @ 50p each Vodafone have a galaxy s7 with 6Gb of data and unlimited minutes for £24 a month and 10% off that if you have a Vodafone line already

I've changed the slave before and air was never a problem but it might be worth a go. FWIW I've never got on with the pressure bleeders that well, they seem to create as many problems as they solve by forcing small bubbles to form, combination of approaches and revisiting the problem on different days seems to get it sorted.

There should be a cam cover earth to the coil mounting bracket, but nothing on the drivers side, a picture would help

relay up the lights, it makes a massive difference and standard wattage bulbs won't damage your reflectors or give you mot trouble

here are the part numbers for LHD and RHD reflectors, definitely different and use the standard 535 and 536 number prefixes to identify LHD and RHD parts http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1994/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/941/subcategory/216000/part_id/3691897/lang/e#sec_8
