  3. :wink: :lol: seriously though,just buy what you want. id suggest driving each model that you have an interest in if you can (maybe a forum member or 2 could help?) and also worth reading a few techy threads on engine mods etc... neil.

    spoiler problem?

    the blue wire should be disconnected m8 :D have a slight problem with mine that i dont think is too common. works perfectly on switch/automatically,but when i turn the lights on it never comes up at 45mph.still works on switch. ive had diffarent relays in there,still the same.checked earth etc... weird. :?
  6. cheers garry :) glad you are happy with em! neil.
  7. cheers guys :D shift point now set to 5900rpm,and its not annoying as the first light dosn't come on until around 5k...can adjust them individually anyway so its all good. neil.
  8. shocks/rubbers should be ok,they are fk konigs that haven't done too many miles. no tool kit or spare wheel (which i needed the other week :lol: ) and the parcel shelf is good... having been through the receipts/history,i cant find any reference to bush replacement,wondering if they are completely none existent on one side? :shock: thanks for the help m8,ill double check the system/shocks etc :D neil.
  9. cheers m8. :) i did check the system on some ramps a good while ago,thought it may be that with being left side only,but couldn't get it to bang... will check it again anyway i think. let us know how yours drives after a good boot full 8) neil.
  10. coolrado, good work m8. 8) could you explain any noises you had with the old bushes? was it a bit 'bangy' or 'knocky' on the rear? just that i have a noise like this on the rear left only :roll: and i have decent coilies/new rubber top mounts etc... cheers,neil.
  11. cheers guys :D aye,ive nearly given up on this thing a good few times! really has tested my corradoness? :lol: to the limit! jmc,cheers for the help on the panel. 8) g60griff ,ebay for the shift light m8,got it for £55 inc postage,think they are £140 new... neil. ps:im still after a drivers side door speaker grill/under dash tray(next to fuse box cover) and a vdo 1.5 bar boost gauge.
  12. cheers m8,ive seen them on ebay a touch less brand new but im pretty tight at the mo :( i feckin threw one away a while ago too! :roll: Finished my dials tonight :D full pics here..... can adjust the shift point in 100rpm increments,and also change the timing of each individual led! vids :D
  13. so there is a resister with the values...1% tolerence + 887K Ohm bcstudent? cheers,neil. :)
  14. How do m8,vr looks tidy in the pics 8) ! neil.
  15. cool :lol: :shock: this is my next job to tackle i think,looking into a potentiometer,will have to see if it works on the lowest setting! neil.
  16. If i did this to your rado,i would have to keep it as payment furkz :lol: mega fiddly man!
  17. :lol: aye,ive thought about that,gonna stick a switch down near the gear lever or somewhere to turn em on and off :D still gotta whip it all back out yet to clean inside the dials,and stick a little part in that im missing (cheers henny) edit:bcstudent,i thought about it but i didn't know what voltage etc i would need. and ive been killing time,sat watching my little girl 24/7 while ive been doing this.she's doing ok after a bit of a scare... neil.
  18. Cheers darren :D i never ever want to do it again! :shock: :lol:
  19. This has taken me feckin ages to do! :shock: and many times through doin it i wondered if it was worth it or not... anyway,ill let the pics/vids :D do the talking! My dials that have already been played with,complete with pointless blanked off led spaces. First two are plugged,blue circled are moulded shut... The led's were cast in a solid lump of plastic, took me over 24 hours! to cut them out with a craft knife! :shock: i nearly went mad! Adjustable :D and hidden under gear lever gaitor... Finished! And vids :D Neil.
  20. feckinell :( sorry to see that m8. glad you are ok though! all the best with it. neil.
