Not me selling, but spotted them. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Speedline-5-Spoke-15-Corrado-OE-New-Tyres-/120865639057?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item1c24274a91 £150 seems a deal if they are newly refurbed and have new tyres

Could it be the bearing in the belt tensioner? mine made a noise that came and went, it went for good so never done anything about it :lol:

it shows how messed up our timing/yearly system is. i reckon this is why snow now falls in feb instead of december these days. We need to reset the seasonal clock imo

iirc there are three small bulbs along the top, quite easy to replace really, and the bulbs were availiable from VW when i did mine. Just remove the whole instrutment cluster and fit them from the back
-
i also need some of them if anyone wants to share the wisdom?
-
always get tempted to sell mine, but i love being a hooligan with the noise :lol:
-
after all the ballache i had sanding mine smooth and polishing it, all by hand, from 40grit to 1500grit, i now think i should of painted it instead :( i might buy another manifold now, looks great

does the 24v baffled sump that i bought need more oil than the standard vr6 sump?

Sounds like normal corrado ownership to me :lol:

are you doing the one where you have key in ignition and reconnect battery, then turn key back etc? Does it make a quick bleep when you connect the battery back?

do a search for a post by me, you can manually pull the metal holes that the cable passes through, its a bit of a fiddle but i managed it with grill in place. I used the metal rod that links the door handle to the latch, (inside the door, i had a spare one lying around)

i had the same trouble trying to get that pin out with the screw, ended up giving in and not bothering to fit the repair kit. will be trying again soon though

The CF Update: New design, new classifieds & more to come!
Jim Bowen replied to Andi's topic in Site Comments and Questions
just sorted my overlapping header/menu/advert issue by going into my setting on the forum and turning "skimlinks" off -
yep, could be moisture around the coilpack/leads. i usually check by spraying some water on that area and can sometimes see/hear the sparks escaping.
-
going to renew mine, or at least see if i can fix the heated part of them
-
i've noticed some cars have them built into the wiper arms, so they spray and rotate at the same time.
