..beam will go in the back of a cok? :shock:

I used to have a bash at doing things myself because I didn't have any choice, as I didn't know any garages that wouldn't : A. Take one look at the Corrado and say " ooooooh, not one of those sciroccos, they're a nightmare mate " B. Charge stupid amounts of money for labour which made everything too expensive to fix C. Do a rubbish job and be happy to give the car back to me having been bodged. Since moving to Cornwall and finding RKE ( St Agnes 01872 553839 :D ) i'm more than happy to let them do anything that needs doing to my cars safe in the knowledge that they're going to do a top job and not charge the earth.

Unfortunately, there's no way (that I know of) of searching for people on here apart from with their username.

A European production car with a NA engine that produces 100bhp per litre (or more) from 2 litres or less? Is there any?
-
Sorry, but it wasn't me who fixed it in the end - the guy I sold it too managed to get to the bottom of the problem, I only knew that it turned out to be something to do with the fuel lines because i'm just about to buy the car back from him :lol: Have you managed to get it sorted ?

...and is generally driven by a balding midle aged accountant.

Well done for not just sticking it back on Ebay anyway mgbv8mike, very honest of you! Hopefully Karma will re-pay you :) ..oh and do let us know if a load of Nintendos and mobile phones etc turn up at your place from Aberdeen won't you!

Allthough I do agree that G60 prices seem to be holding better than Vr6 prices, I personally wouldn't give anywhere near £3k for a G60 with this sort of mileage and with a charger in need of a service. However, I said that to JezzaG60 recently when he was selling his Burgandy Pearl G60 with 160K and he managed to get £2350 for it and his didn't have an interior worth £1K. I would agree with Goldie, you would probebly be better off selling the interior seperately to maximise the ammount you get.

I had a little 'play' with an XK8 on the A303 acouple of weeks back, I was in a 2.0 16V, he left me for dust :cry:
-
I'd deffinately agree with that, especially nice straight examples as they're becoming more and more rare

Yeah, it could maybe be the glow plug relay? Here's the thread I started when I had the problem .... http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic. ... el+problem

I had this problem with my old non turbo diesel MK3 and it turned out to be a problem with the fuel lines. Best of luck with sorting it out blackcat

I was gonna ask what seats you've got in there, they look lovely! Awsome looking car in fairness mate. There's nothing worse than a gay down pipe bolt! :lol:

..Could be the perfect excuse to make it a cab? :)
-
Thats awfull :( hope you manage to get it sorted out cheaply enough mate.
-
I didn't use anything on mine.

Never mind Top Gear, when are you going to charge the valver?
-
If you have the original owners handbook the colour code sticker is in there too.
-
Yep, pretty much every Corrado i've had has been like that - come to think of it - every VW i've had that's been pre - 1999(ish) has been the same :?

Advice on lumpy, erratic 2.0 16v - being a bit crap again..
Walesy replied to Jim's topic in Engine Bay
OT - but regarding the MPG - it really does seem to vary from car to car. My current valver is returning around 5 MPG less than my last one, using the same roads/fuel etc etc - there must be something going wrong there surly. I was getting around 33MPG average on my last one, and around 28MPG from the current one :(
