Added the picture to my breaking thread mate. It only has one of the rear securing fixings, but is in brilliant condition other than that. I will give it a good clean and add better pictures for you if you like. Cheers. Rob.

Hi, yes the rad hoses are in good condition but will remove them and check for you. I need to get back to a few people about parts, so will try to send a few PM's out this evening. Cheers. Rob.

Just realised how bad the pictures are!! I will try and get some better pictures later. :)

No price as yet, but he recons that it will be around £5 to make the pcb with the red and blue LEDs, that's for the parts only. But I recon it would be for sale at about £15-£20 posted, but it is early days. I can't imagine the price being massively above that though.

Right everyone it's early days but I'm in the middle of designing a new concept of lighting for the late heater controls on a corrado. The design is more basic than the other pcb boards that people have seen in the past, but will give similar effect and will be a lot cheaper to design. I have spoken to a local engineer who works at the local college and tutors electrical engineering. He has had a look at my concept and said it would be very easy to replicate and relatively inexpensive to make a circuit board to suit. The design is based on using the original way of lighting the heater controls but with LEDs instead of a single bulb. A PCB will need to be fitted behind the central control knob, and will transfer LED light to all the heater controls evenly. I have played around with the basic idea of what I'm looking for and the local college are going to refine the idea and improve on it. Basically this could mean that the heater controls can be immulinated 100% better than before, and at an easily affordable price. I will update this thread within the next month with the progress, but I'm pretty sure these PCB's will be available before Christmas. The colour of the bulbs are to be confirmed, but it will hopefully be a choice of between the standard green, or the red and blue as pictured: Rob.

Early front indicators. Both are cracked or damaged in one way or another, not great but still usable. Pm me if you want a more detailed description. £20 posted the pair. Rob.

Nice looking Burgundy Vr6 spotted in Milford Haven-Pembrokeshire about midday today,on a private plate. Female driver, I put the thumbs up but no reply.:(
-
The corrado badge is painted the same colour as the bodywork, I will remove it today and pm you with the details. Cheers.
-
Pm sent.
-
Yes the gear knob is leather. I will pm you in the morning with the pictures and price. Cheers.

Nice one Diarmaid. No worries. Thanks for letting me know. :)
-
I have one off the 2.0 16v I'm currently breaking for parts, and it's in excellent condition. I tried removing one before on my G60 and ended up snapping the lip on the underside! If you can wait a day or so then I will remove it and send you a PM, hopefully it will come off in one piece this time. Cheers. Rob.

Corrado TDI for the win. :)

I also think the late 90's were the Corrados heyday. There is no doubting that the Corrado was one of those cars that turned many heads over the years, and still does! But it was given a 'Modern classic' status reasonably early on in it's life and we would all like to think this will help the Corrado hold it's money, but unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case. You need to be a certain type of person to purchase a Corrado these days, money is tight and modern diesels are hard to beat!

2013 Group Buy SP263 Cams From Stealth Racing
dumptyboy replied to Vince@Stealth's topic in Forum Group-Buys
I still want a set of 263's but I would be fitting them myself, and will not get a chance to go and get my car mapped at Stealth unfortunately. So I'm looking for the cheapest deal on the cams only. I understand I'm probably either better off waiting to see if a new/used set come up for sale, or perhaps just buying them directly from the supplier as I won't make any real saving through the group buy. Anyone having the full works though- cams fitted and mapping done by stealth are getting a really good deal. :) -
I have a G60 gear knob and gaiter if you still need one, and both are in good shape. I can add pictures if you like. Cheers. Rob.

Mine is putting led's in all my switches, you can actually see them even during day light hours, and best of all it's pretty hard now to forget leaving the headlights on as the light is nice and bright. :)
-
Alot of alarm fitters wire the boot up by connecting the wiring into the boot light, so that when the light makes a circuit(lights up) the alarm will go off if not disarmed. It might be worth pulling the boot light out and seeing what the wiring is like. Also if you remove the fuse box cover and look up in the gap between the dash and fuse board you might see where the alarm connects to the central locking, look for two spliced wires as this is a common place on corrados for the alarm to be connected to the central locking.

Sold. Payment received. Thanks.
-
£100 posted would be my best price at the moment. But if anyone wants to arrange there own courier to collect then I could possibly do it slightly cheaper? Postage is not cheap unfortunately. Send me a PM if interested and maybe we can strike a deal? Rob.
-
Reminded myself that I still have this and need to shift it to clear space. Anyone interested before I put it on eBay? :)
-
No problem mate. Good luck with getting it sorted. Cheers mate. :)

Yes just the glass needs swapping over. The inpro headlight glass is the same shape as the standard headlight glass. :)
