the rado was smasahed in the rear 3/4 and written off, decided was not economical to repair but i now have a new toy to play with!!!!

yeah i never done this but my old man has had some canny cars and of course people have damaged them and he has got the insurers to pay for all sorts even petrol for when he went to look at another car to buy!! just actually a nightmare to find outr what is going on and i go on holiday friday!

no not yet will get some on. its agreed value is 3500 with my insurance, so i want that back, and got a few on the trader of similar price. will wait and see. bit negative but might mean on to faster things!!! :)

anyone know how much a new rear 3/4 and door would be? mega. one body shop quted about £1300 for labour and paint, no parts. two places said that it would be a write off, and the sill looks a bit bent, and it feels a bit loose when driving. :(

if they do the same i will definately buy it back. its not mint but its not a dog. whats an engine and gearbox worth? its done 143000 miles and been maintained well, had chains and clutch done bout 20k ago and diff rebuilt

ok cool. thanks dinkus. will they still pay me out for the car? i have an agreed value on it.

my corrado was hit on saturday in the rear quarter and door and two body shops have written it off. How do i go about buying the car back to break it for parts?? it has leather interior nad the front wings tail gate, dash etc are in good nick and i'm sure that someone would want them as parts. just don't know how to go about gettin the car back once thay have taken it away? :( :( :(

the key is stiff wehn turning and doesn't unlock the door at all. i'msuspecting the barrel is knackered. is it easy to replace trhem, maybe from a scrappie with the keys?? don't really want it in the dealers as car not really worth it

My girlfriend has a 98 polo open air and the drivers door lock no longer unlocks the door, so you have to unlock from the passenger seat. just wondering what coul;d be the problem and possible solutions. new barrel and key? and if so how difficult and how expensive? thnks matt

when i get up to about 80 i get a bit of a wobble in the sterring, not a great deal just a bit of vibration. then if i go a bit quicker it seems to go??? what could cause this?? suspect some sort of bushes but :? nothing came up at mot?

how much are the vag bearings???

mine looks like that apart from all the dents and stone chips ha ha

B@@@er. they are gsf. i'll have to add it to the growing list fuel pump+filter tyres sump steering wheel wheel bearings front w/bone bushes tax i love my corrado

will unbalanced tyres cause a drone too??? i have it coming from the back but the bearings were checked by a mechanic and deemed ok?

a 220+bhp rado vr6 running 14.7 at santa pod and goes off the clock on the speedo. how quick is this in realtion to other n/a rado's??
