  1. hello the driver side central locking is not working, checked the pump-ok, checked lilttle mechanism inside the door - ok, checked the door handle- ok, all of the central locking works fine except the driver side, it works ok if u use the passenger side to lock and unlock, just in the process of checking the wiring through the door, any solutions? thank you. :roll:

    hello i'am having difficulties with rear spiler, i was working on the central locking system and to get to the junction for 2 front doors i had to remove the fuse box, did not disconnect any wires just moved it to side, since than the spoiler only goes up mnaually. any clues of how to check if anything has fallen out or is broken? thanks

  6. just a quickie, y not do the job yourself, is not that hard, honest. christmas is coming and with it a lot of time, you are lucky it only has one head, try doing quad cam v6 alfa :-) nice job. worst that can happen it will cost you a new engine if you screw up, which is around what the dealer quated you any way.
  7. hello if you measure the inner and the outer diammeter of the wheel you will find that the inner is a little size is a little smeller than the outside thus giving you the offset of....., if you are gonna have the car tested, assuming it is a 4 wheel SUN allignment mashine check the camber. With racing cars if the camber is too great by lowering the suspension, on the straight the car will tend to wonder as it is driving on the edges of the wheels, as you can picture it, same rules apply to road cars. So try to check the camber on the mashine first, this is due to the wishbones getting longer and pushing the wheels outwards on the bottom and in at the top (camber). any other questions, dont hesitate. :D

    master cylinder

    THATS EXACTLY THE PROBLEM ALL OF MASTER CYLINDERS LISTED I VE SEEN SO FAR HAVE THE 4 NIPPLES AND YOU CAN BLANK THEM OFF BUT ONE OF THEM IS FACING DOWNWARDS THUS MAKING IT NOT POSSIBLE TO FIT WITHOUT CHANGING THE LAYOUT OF THE PIPE, THE CAR IS A 93 MODEL.
  10. Just a thought. You say it wanders. All of the above is correct but suspension is really tricky - its not helped by big wheels (they look good though) - are the wheels the the correct offset for the car? Because it has been lowered the original camber would further increase thus making the wheels ride mostly on the inner side of the wheel. Check the tyre tread there and simplest way is to measure the wheels diameter on the inside and that on the outside to give you the right offset. Cross reference this........ getting tooooooooo technical. Try the above first and let me know :) Post de-capped - please turn off your CAPS lock in future! -- jimsg60 :)

    master cylinder

    does any one out there has a 2L 16v corrado with abs? if so have you ever changed master cylinder ? ive tried all but main dealer and all of the parts searches come up with an item that does not look like anything ive got on the car? is there some sort of special order code for 2L corrados, tha problem is that the cylinder has two outputs to the ABS one is facing up and one down, a nipple for bleeding and reservour holes, any thing ive seen so far has four outputs for brakes all facing the wrong way to accommodate the brake pipes. ANY SUGGESTIONS, I JUST WANNA DRIVE THE CAR.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

    brakes

    got the fluid to come out eventually (on its own -puzzled) managed to bleed the breaks but now the brakes want prssurise, took the master off to have a peek as the system was getting some air in and after gentle persuasion with the hammer removed the piston............ the bore has some corrosion and the rubber was f@#$%^ed, damn, hopefully after getting new cylinder the nightmare of quick fluid change will come to an happy end. ( hopefully).. :-) will keep posted -- thanks..

    brakes

    hello ive got a problem with bleeding brakes, its a 93 2.0 16v with abs, when bleeding the front nothing comes out of passenger side, all of the others are ok (calipers that is) when disconecting the brake pipe directly from the main abs there is no fluid coming out of there, any ideas any one.????? :(
