Hi guys I've had play in the steering of my rado since I've owned it, I've slowly narrowed it down to the lower bearing in the column ( I'm guessing there's a bearing there) Basically i had column to rack UJ shaft disconnected earlyer and I could wobble the end of the column a good 5mm in each direction . Has any one changed one before? And more importantly is this play I've mentioned normal (pretty sure it's not lol) Cheers Kyle

No ive never changed them, I've heard there a common cause but I thought I'd start by sorting out the slack first Cheers

Hi guys Been plagued with horribly vague steering with my rado since I've owned it and it seems to be caused by play in the steering I've noticed play in the UJ in the foot well and I suspect there will be also in the one in the engine bay. Two questions really. 1. Where's the best play to buy these? 2. I happen to have a mk 2 jetta I'm breaking, would I be lucky enough that I could take those? Cheers Kyle

Hi guys A mechanic friend of mine informed me today that the laws have now changed and if I was too put my car in for a mot and it failed the mot expires then rather than continuing to the end date? Apprently you can't get a 13 month mot by going in a month early either. Is it just me this news to? When did it change as it all seems a bit sneaky Cheers

Does any one have a pic of their old hoses etc?

Hi guys OK so I've got some new late calipers and hoses for my corrado g60 but I've noticed that the hole in the caliper has a dome like seat for the hose to seal on but the hoses are flat with a slight chamfer. Am I right in thinking that these are the wrong ones? Cheers

Ah cheers didn't know the later hoses are a straight swap with them. Do you happen to know if the later hoses are the shorter ones of the two sold for corrados?

Cheers for the advice guys From ECP a set of front calipers was only £100 after the surcharge is detucted so I went for them:) One problem I have now is that I think they have supplied late calipers in place of the correct early ones. Basically the new ones are minus the small metal brake line and bracket that are bolted on two my current ones, any one know if I'm right?

Fronts, I'm presuming it's not the wind type like the rears? No I didn't try to push the pistons in or out with a airline, judging by how hard it was to push in it wouldn't have moved. On previous cars I've been able to push the calipers by in with my hands, these were seriously tight

Hi guys Changed the brake pads on my g60 today, I now have binding brakes due to what i think is partially seized pistons. Basically the pistons the pistons just wouldn't retract, I think I should have just gave up and got new calipers but insted I got them off and used a vice to push them in. Any now my brakes are binding, am I correct in thinking this is the pistons seized in the caliper? Cheers

Thank you for the replies guys. I've torqued them all up now. Oh and I checked the bolts and other than the different drive type they are almost identical, same thread to seat length, seat size but the head it about .5mm deeper, it doesn't foul the clutch pressure plate this so all good.

Hi guys Changing the clutch and crank seal on my 91 g60 tomorrow, I've got all new bolts from darkside developments but I'm not sure of the correct torque settings? Also the original flywheel bolts are a triple square head while the originals were 19mm hex, any one know if it really matters? Cheers Kyle

Hi Yeah I'm trying to avoid the dealers after my local one didn't even know what a corrado was lol. Any I found these http://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/bolt-kit-for-g60-flywheel-and-clutch-kit.html Presume they are the ones?

Hi guys I'm changing the clutch on my g60 this week but a few questions on some odd bolts I think I might need 1. Drive shaft to g-box flange bolts, presume these are stretch bolts? 2. Flywheel bolts, certifying these are 3. Clutch to flywheel bolts, I have never replaced these on any previous clutch changes but have heard I should. Also where's the best place to buy them? Cheers Kyle

Hi Ah so there's two sections to the main test? Out of interest how much did it cost? I'm only 23 so guessing I would have to wait to go straight to a bigger bike, presume I could do my cbt and ride a 125cc until I'm 24 then do my full bike license?

Hi guys Just wondering if there are any bikers on here that can offer some advice. I keep having the though of getting a motorbike, nothing too extreme but some thing at least quick compared to cars Any way, what's the process of getting my licence, so far I've worked out: 1. Do cbt so I can ride a 125cc (do I need to buy a bike just for the test or will they supply one) 2. Do bike theory 3. Do main test? I belive that as I'm over 21 I can just jump on a big bike rather than waiting 2 years? Cheers

Ah thank you, my phone would let me actually see the add. It's collection only tho but cheers any way:)

Not sure if it's my phone but that link is just a pic of a g60 engine with a manifold ( golf?)

As title really guys Pm me with details:) Cheers

Hi guys Looking for a nice stainless system for my g60, I'm led to belive all exhausts on corrados are the same cat back so engine shouldn't matter. Pm me with details Cheers
