    just checked my old prices from when i bought one. 536823531 - CABLE = £23.79 +vat 535823555 Nipple - £4.27 + vat N0102631 Screw - £0.08 + vat that was in 2008, so i guess the prices have increased.

    reminds me of the hide and seek game we played on the corsa club

    tescos might have them, worth asking

    or a place called autobrite does them too you should be getting good results andycowuk, i use the autobrite lance and a karcher and get decent foam with no effort
  8. Jim Bowen
    i use about 150ml per wash. what type of lance do you have? Do you mix the snow foam with anything else? i used to add a bit of shampoo but don't bother with that anymore

    i use the valet pro ph neutral stuff, i think some others will strip the wax protection etc ---------- Post added at 03:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ---------- just checked your links and the last two are detergents/TFR and will strip any wax you have applied. Ideal if your starting from scratch, but if you then go on to polish and wax the car you would want a ph neutral wash

    say what you see.....lol

    thats £109 just for the bit of metal, i got a rear qtr for my escort for under £20 :lol: ---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ---------- yes they are the bits, is that a car your scrapping? have you poked around to see if they are rusted at all, i need the front curvy shaped bit and then about 12 inch of where it returns under the sill
  12. Jim Bowen
    yep, too old, time to get a rover with fake wood interior and beaded seat covers
  13. Jim Bowen
    i think i will repair them properly, thought through it all and seems achievable.

    bit of an old thread, just read it and saw me commenting about 2yrs ago :lol: checked mine, its rusty, to be expected really i spose. i am finding the underseal hides the rust very well until it gets really bad, then you notice it. am finding patches that have rusted and the underseal/paint looks fine still.

    i don't get how the arch liner will fix to wing with a rolled arch, anyone got pics?
  16. Jim Bowen
    i'd just drive it to begin with, within a couple of weeks something will pop up for you to fix :lol:
  17. Jim Bowen
    i best go search the garage for the other one lol
  18. Jim Bowen
    the hole seems like all the others, and the washer was on the inside of the wing which made me think it wouldn't be acting like a washer, more of a spacer. just seems odd that one side would have it and not the other
  19. Jim Bowen
    while cleaning up my wings i noticed this little metal spacer/washer fall off, you can see it in the pic and i think it came from the circle next to it (with no dirt on) its about 5mm thick. i didn't notice one on the other wing? unless it fell off and i lost it. is it meant to be there on both sides?
  20. Jim Bowen
    Here are the photos i said i'd get, they look quite dark in the photos but are metal coloured in real life. ---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ---------- btw, i will check what the postage will cost, as last time i posted something and made up a price i stitched myself up
  21. Jim Bowen
    has anyone built a working R32 corrado yet? :lol: i know there's a couple but from what i've seen they seem to cause problems, like Rob and his pedal/flat spot.
  22. Jim Bowen
    i am thinking about the same things at the moment, my engine is about to hit 200,000miles and not sure whether to fit a 24v instead of a rebuild
  23. Jim Bowen
    lot of money, don't really fancy paying that much. Especially with all the other stuff i'm going to need to buy
  24. Jim Bowen
    i think the rust has all been caused from being jacked up in the wrong place once. I reckon the sill bent upwards very slightly, the wax inside has cracked and the water has been running the wrong way and getting sucked along the sill thanks chaps, i will report back
  25. Jim Bowen
    Sometimes they come up when the fluid is low, try topping it up a little, see what happens
