It appears at some point long ago my VR has been given an incorrect rear caliper. One has a flexi hose which is female at both ends and the other appears to be male to female. I've had a look on Heritage and the female to female hose appears to be correct for the VR6 https://www.vwheritage.com/1h0611775-rear-brake-hose-for-corrado-vr6-models-abv-engine I have two of those which I was going to fit before I noticed the discrepancy. All this is leading to the question, should I replace the imposter for a correct caliper and fit my two correct new hoses or do I go for the MKIV caliper upgrade which I think is pretty straightforward? All suggestions, tips, part numbers and similar stories welcome. Thanks.

I doubt it's lost forever, it's on SORN and the MOT only lapsed last December.

:grin:

That last one sounds like a really good bet. I've got the Revell scale model too, in Blackberry. "It's a model, not a toy!" Happy hunting.

I seem to have started a bit later than average. I'm 51 and got mine in August 2009.

Count me in too please.

Yeah, there's a lady around Newton with a blue Storm, she seems to use it as a daily. Probably her. I've seen her about in it for a good few years so I sometimes wonder if maybe she's had it from new.

Hi, I'll put my hand up for the wheels if Dox decides against them. I can collect in the coming week if so. Thanks

Hi, if the Passat sunroof switch, surround and middle sun visor is still available and fully functional I'll take it please. I take it it's a direct swap with the Corrado part? I seem to have lost the interior lights on mine today so that's the main reason for needing it! If you can let me know I'd be grateful.
-
Does it have the standard five spoke Speedlines? I'd be interested if they are decent and straight after its little bump. Also a working sunroof motor would be handy! Thanks.

Red (possible) G reg with a late model grille heading West on the A30 near Exeter this afternoon.

Is it this bit you need or the whole assembly? http://www.tdnparts.com/corrado-euro-light-adjuster-knobs/ Good luck.

Gxx VPP, dark coloured C going north on the M5 near Exeter this morning. Having no problem "keeping pace" with the herd.

Thanks mate, got that and will give him a shout.
-
Thanks, do you have contact details for him? If you don't want to post on here are you able to message me? Cheers
-
Thanks.

Thanks Robrado, has he done any welding on your C? I can't get any very decent pics but the car is driveable so I could arrange to go over to him if he had time to look it over on a lift (should give him a better idea of what's what too). Basically, the worst I can find is at the front of the offside sill. I was sanding back some rust and started to peel off the underseal and found a few small holes on the floor panel where it joins the sill. Yikes... I've had a good poke around with a screwdriver and the rot doesn't seem to have spread far. If he's willing to have a look at it then maybe we can arrange an inspection at his place. Thanks

Hi, I'm in Newton Abbot but would be willing to go a reasonable distance to get good quality work. Cheers

Morning all, can anyone please recommend a welder / fabricator in the South West (S Devon to be precise) who they have used and would trust with their Corrado? I've got a list of things to do on the car and there isn't much point starting until I know the structure is fully sound. Any advice or a contact would be much appreciated, thanks.
-
I was given one of these as a pressie from a mate of mine when I had a 16V Mk2 years ago, which I never got cut. I hadn't considered getting it cut for the Corrado.
-
I've just seen this thread and noticed the reg of this car is only four digits away from mine. Ahem, cool story, eh?
-
Ouch. That sinking feeling....
