Nice one

This is true, some people expect FAR too much from these 15 yr old cars 'ya know :lol: It does sound like quite an odd thing to just happen all of a sudden, was the gearbox nice and smooth/direct/precise before this happened or did it feel crap for a while?

It'd probebly be worth taking it up there for them to have a look at mate, I wouldn't trust a phone diagnosis if I were you :lol: I can't say i've heard of a problem like this before though tbh! - very odd!

Which garage told you you need a new gearbox mate?

Surly that's too much of a co-incidence! - are you sure you didn't remove them last night after a few bevvies? :) I just can't see why anyone would want a set of standard wipers? :lol: Scum.

That silver VR does look nice allthough i'd be wary of the rust, just looking at the pic it looks like the cars had an accident repair on the n/s rear quarter and if it's rusting it can't have been done perfectly - something to be wary of. I think Dinkus will be having a siver VR6 up for sale sooner or later, and I dare say it'll be cheaper than that one too :) Glad to hear you're coming back to the rado anyway - it's looking like i'll have to be bowing out for a bit soon in favour of a larger and newer car but i'm sure i'll be back into them in a few years like most people :)

Awesome.

Shame, but I fully agree with you mate - I wouldn't touch them with a bargepole after that.

I suspect your neighbours would be more than prepared to have a whip-round to cover the costs...

Yeah, if they're autowatch dealers they'll have access to info that us lot aren't.. You could also try joining http://abacuscaralarms.co.uk/members/fo ... hp?act=idx and don't forget to try using the search :)

Yeah probebly, I would have thought the box will be behind the passenger side undertrays, that seems to be the place fitters choose.

I have no idea mate, and it's been years since I used those guys as they were back in Wales, I don't have any numbers for them anymore - have you tried looking at the autowatch website?

11 seconds? you must be slowing down in your old age.

Ahhh, the Corrado in it's natural habitat (at the side of the road with it's bonnet lifted :lol:)

Nice post there Yan 8) Allthough most of it went straight over my head :lol:

http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... t&start=30 Found it

There's a blue 20VT Corrado around with a set of merc recaros which looked pretty cool to me, I haven't got a pic though sorry but I expect someone here has.

Hey no worries mate, no offense taken - I just wanted to make it clear that there was no hard feelings as I do try and get things across to people without seeming like i'm being an arsey fecker! Like I said, I didn't have a clue how forums/internet/computers worked when I started using this forum but i've managed to learn loads of stuff over the years. I'm also not the worlds best at grammar, being dyslexic! but have found that using forums has helped alot with that too - so you won't be looked down on for not being the worlds best speller on here! We're all here for one thing mate so feel free to post and if you have a thread moved or locked now and then it's not the end of the world! 8)

Hi mate, if you read back through the post I made in the other thread you started, I think you'll find that I posted a link to this thread and friendly asked you to post the new pics in here rather than in seperate ones - I'm not really sure how I could have been more helpfull or friendly Here's a copy of the post I made ... ^^ I hope that doesn't come across as unfriendly or unhelpfull We try and keep all members gallery pictures to one thread per car otherwise there would be millions of pages of threads in this section! :) If you need any help with anything in future feel free to PM any of the mods and i'm sure any of them will be happy to try and help, not everyone knows how to use forums/computers etc - I know I didn't when I started using this forum!

Moved to interior...

Come on fella surly you've been here long enough, another little search came up with the answer. http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... +16v+where I'll lock this now, if you have any other questions regarding VAG-COM that aren't covered using the search then add them onto the main thread (keeping all the info in one thread makes it MUCH easier for people to find solutions to their problems using the search in the future)

And according to a quick search, it is.

I'm pretty sure GPC still sell bump strips for around £70 a set.

http://www.the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewto ... 11&t=65422 Nice pics mate, but can you please keep them in one thread :)
