Hi Dom - I've got an Odyssey PC1200 for sale at present. Its what cheesewire (Kev) recommended and uses. A true fit and forget item. Granted its a little bit more - but you get what you pay for! Thanks for the offer, but seems there is life still in the old Bosch Silver. It was fully charged... it's the starter motor that's the issue :roll:

Hmm. Looks like the Bosch Silver on my VR6 needs replacing... been solid for 5yrs so won't moan. Sure it would have lasted longer were it not for the Alpine Sat Nav + Amp... Any VR owners with a few toys fitted opted for anything in particular recently? Since a new Bosch Silver is now £86... might try something else. Remember my OE battery back in '95 was a Varta... Varta Silver Dynamic reads well... anyone running one of those? TIA Dom

Cheers Karl... that's what I wanted to hear :) Anyone got a pair of Corrado seat belt anchors annoying the missus and collecting dust? :D

Bit of an odd one so don't think I'm :cuckoo: ... but any Recaro owners know if their seats have standard Corrado seat belt anchors fitted? Do they just bolt on to the seat base (inner) corner as they do on the standard seats? Close up shot of the seat belt anchor in situ if anyone has their Recaros unfitted at the moment would be nice :) Bet you've never been asked for a photo of one of those before! :lol: TIA

many thanks Guy & Tim... the Silky Pro S arrived today. Good packaging! :D

Had the same happen to me last night... pull up to wait for my wife, black cab pulls up behind so edge forward for him as his arse is stupidly sticking out. He goes off on his merry way so I select reverse... and move forward instead! :shock: After two more goes I've edged too close to the parked car in front for me to pull out! :lol: At this point my lovely wife gets in. I get out... pop the boot, pretend I'm looking for something then pull the C backwards. "Dom! Dom! the car's moving!" I get back in, "don't panic... that'll be the new reverse gear dear" :norty: Culprit, loose nut that holds the gear shift cable. For those with the Bentley, it's nut 'B' in section 34.10 Gearshift mechanism, adjusting/checking. Will replace with a self locking nut me thinks! :) Don't worry VR... I still :luvlove: you

Guy... any offers happening for this Bank Holiday weekend? :D

Cheers Gents... vaguely remember Volvo doing these so def. still seems the case then, cool. I can go and laugh at the new C30 then :lol: ciao Bill. Don't worry mate... I'll never leave C ownership... in the blood - more than just a car to me :luvlove: blame too many good times. She'll stay even when I do need to pull the trigger on a newer set of wheels :) Cheers Dom

Don't you just love it when you get back to the Corrado to find some :censored: has helped themselves to your valve caps... yet again! :bad-words: Where's best to get replacements please chaps... as best on eBay' s £20 a go! teach me to shop at Tesco... funnily enough never happens when I go to Waitrose! :? Cheers Dom

Many thanks to bigpants baby for super speedy delivery of cluster. Very well wrapped and packaged. Appreciated Carl and will definitely use again :D Cheers Dom

PM sent :wink:

Wonder who set that up back in the day ;) As you said Dinkus, still a top bunch. Esp. Steve (boss), John & Ross

Tom! :) How you doing son?! Good to see self-employment is treating you well :D You just can't keep a motor standard can you :wink: Looks awesome but what I want to know is how many times the Cheltenham feds have pulled you because of the tints! Don Corleone would be proud of you :lol: All the best mate Dom

I'll be joining you one day :cry: ... but not just yet! :lol: Seriously, has been a pleasure trading stone chips with her bruv... but onwards and upwards hey :wink: Just reminisce on all the quality hoons we've pulled. To a peach of a VR + pilot... I salute you :salute: Dom

Which reminds me to do mine :oops: What did you clean it with as you seem to have done a pukka job? Loving the red switches and clocks, bang up to date... top work :)

Corrado VR6 1H2 422 061 A (original, if you are lucky) or ending with AX (reconditioned, mostly likely stocked by dealer) Stealer price, £390.71 + VAT HTH

I'm always about mate. Just don't have the time to be so 'active' in winding Alex up on-line these days :D Nice progress with your C mate, never fail to impress with your determination & was sorry to hear about your prang. Regards to the best looking thing in your life though... Alex ;) No! Not you Pose-Gil! :lol:

theory?!! Oh my God! Clear the streets people. The Pose-Gil on a proper bike doesn't bear thinking about. Does your mum know about this! :D

Heated grips?! Thermals?! You some kind of a benda Sanchez? lol Have an extra long lunch mate... browse through the sales ;-)

Hopefully a valver owner will confirm, but I think you have one BLACK sensor (1.4 bar, yellow wire) and one BROWN (0.3 bar, blue/black wire). Also can't remember which of the two, but a new one from a stealer will come in BLUE now. Confused?! :confused4: HTH

Chance may also be a fractured clutch release lever - 02A 141 709 A - hence having to mash your pedal way in to the carpet as the slave cylinder pin has to extend that much further. Hope you get it sorted soon otherwise the slave cylinder might start to leak as it is now pushing further out than it's used too especially if it's an early metal one (plastic on later cars). Stealth (Southam) will sort you out.

Hi Jim First check that none of the circlips are missing or loose. At the top swivel point or down below where the cables connect. Common. If all is in order there then with the gearbox in neutral whip off the gearbox end weight. Note it's position i.e. it has a locating pin on the underside You'll see where the shifter cable connects and that it is adjustable. Get a mate to go through the gears so you see how it works. For example you say 2nd is a problem. When you engage 2nd (gearshift is pulled back) you'll see the cable is pushed forward at gearbox end. Get your mate to put her in neutral and hold the gearshift steady. You loosen the retaining nut and pull the cable a tiny amount forward and tighten. Fire her up and test all gears letting the clutch out carefully of course just in case you've over/under adjusted. Hopefully you'll be a happy chappie first time round and replace the weight :D Basically it's a patience game with the adjustment. Hope you get it sorted.

Lah lah lah la laaah! lol Top day indeed. Superb pics Asim (cheers fella)... VW would be proud :D

Have you tried changing your ignition switch first? Check the small vacuum hose that goes in to the fr/right corner of the inlet manifold/your VGI for any splits/holes. Try swapping the ISV or clean yours with carb. cleaner. Hopefully not a faulty MAF sensor as expensive. If just a dirty sensor from induction cone use try some carb cleaner. Think the Bentley w/manual has a check you can do I. Worth checking no damage to the wires on the connector wires or any visible corrosion on the pins when you unplug it. Late '94s have the factory immobiliser but if she starts ok that cancels that one out. Hope you get it sorted as can imagine you fustration :mad:
