Yeah it started to whine about a week ago so I thought better safe than sorry. And looking through the cars history last change was done 2010.

Ok nice one ,at least I'm not going mad, there are 2 different ones. So the question is where do I get one? Everyone seems to only stock or list the normal manual adjust with the 2 holes. Anyone know what the part number for it is.

Here's the one on the car[ATTACH=CONFIG]85110[/ATTACH]

Hi folks. This may sound like a daft question. Is there different types of tensioners? The one I've been supplied with looks totally different from the one on the car. Everywhere only seems to list 1 tensioner including vw.

My thoughts on it are be it a Corrado or any classic. I think the whole classic scene is being ruined by people treating these cars as investments. They should be for driving and enjoying. Not buying, holding on for a few months then inflating the price. People say to me all the time, you car must be worth a bit now. I always respond with. It's worth nothing as it's never ever for sale. So has no monetary value. Get some confused looks lol

The car looked absloutley stunning all weekend. Well deserved, unfortunatley I never got the chance to speak to you

Mine are looking shabby. So I'm looking for a decent, mine are black with a purple/blue fleck through it. Would like the same

I'm sure I saw it at screw fix the other week mine lives in the garage opposite it.

I feel your pain. I've actually had it happen to me while sitting in the car waiting on the other half to do whatever it is she does in supermarkets. Car pulls up next to door opens and hits mine. I confront the complete arse, his responce made me see red, "it's just an old car mate" To say i was angry is an understatement.

Fitted the new alloys for summer. Wonder what the chances of keeping these clean are, crap pic on phone though

Let's face it we live in the uk, it's gonna rain! And we'll get caught out in it. My goto tyre is the uniroyal rainsport 3, may not last the longest ( got about 8k out my last set) so for you thats 8 years. But they grip like hell and with the softer compound i find them a very comfortable tyre compared to some. Oh and very reasonably priced

Count me in

Twilight violet valver here in Ayr.

Bump. Needs these away taking up space Any offers welcome

[ATTACH=CONFIG]83513[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]83514[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]83515[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]83516[/ATTACH] Selling these as I've changed my mind and got some borbet a's instead. They are off a new Mini Cooper originally. I had them refurbed ready to build up I've only got bolts for 2 but they can be bought easy enough online. No centre caps and one has a slight flat spot. See pics. They are genuine bbs not reps. I can provide 205/40/17 tyres too if needed. Collection from Ayr ,south ayrshire scotland. Looking for £250 or there abouts.

Right it's not all good. The new pump arrived with the new o ring. Put it in the surge tank and guess what? Yep thats right still leaking. My next thought now is to buy a 044 external pump and feed it directly from the lift pump in the tank. My question is do I need to get a seperate surge tank or will the lift pump feed the in line pump ok? and just put the fuel return straight back to the tank.

It's all good. I've ordered a new pump, it comes with a new o ring. The o ring part number is N90223802, funny how i can get the pump with new o ring but not it itself.

So I've just finished replacing all the glass in the car, I've only had it back on the road 2 days and I've got a monumental fuel leak coming from the external fuel pump/ black box thing. I've taken the whole thing off the car and taken the pump out the black box and there is a lagre green o ring in there. I thought great I'll just replace it and all will be well. This is where I hit a problem, apparently it is obsolete?? Please please help, is there any alternative? Can I use an inline pump? Is there a sealant i can use to seal it up? Its a 9a 16v Sorry for the long winded post

Where are you located mate could be interested in them if your close enough.

Where are y

Can't thank you guys enough. Got everything sorted apart from a windscreen. So looking like It'll be back on the road by mid next week. Provided i can find a windscreen localish that is.

Yeah same situation rest of the car is more or less perfect. It is all coming good thanks to you guys on here.

Yeah excess is only 50quid on the windscreen. Saves a lot of faffing about or worse breaking it.

It is, I'm just glad its only the glass that got it. The rest of the car has survived, I'm guessing it was just kids messing about as nothing has been stolen.

How much would you be looking for, for it mate?
