not very long ago, i'd say 2yrs max. I also added the inline fuse when i did it

not great, coming home in the dark lastnight and i was certain i could see my headlights flickering very slightly, not a constant flicker but one min a little dimmer, then after a while they would flick back to normal. then they just went off all together, turned them off and back on again with headlight switch and they came back on for about 5 secs then off again. Flicked switch off and on and they came back on, so quickly got home and left it. could this be an earth fault or the switch again? am getting to the point now where i'm seriously considering giving up with the car, Seems to have more problems and annoying bits then bits i enjoy now. :(

i have a mate like this, and its even worse as its not just the once you have to put up with it. he is an expert on everything yet can't or hasn't done any expertly that i've witnessed. Always buys the cheap alternative and tells me why i shouldn't buy more expensive stuff. i've been awaiting him to compare our cars, but i think deep down he knows mine is better :lol:

apart from standing launches and more grip for to put power down in bad weather, is it really worth while? just spend it all on the engine and drive with a bit more caution :lol:

i'd check the fluid level, top it up if need be, pump the clutch a few times, look for leaks

95ron, always have and find i get better MPG with it. also car is coming up to 200,000miles so can't of done it any harm

i sometimes take plastics out of car and just wash them with car shampoo and a sponge/brush, then some sonus cockpit detailer on them afterwards

to be fair his comment is about the storm, no one has mentioned performance in that thread, and leather which you can get as an optional extra a bit of paint, worse rims and some badges isn't very exciting. i remember when i found out what the storm was and felt a bit disappointed.

none, never seen or read a feature about a corrado, but i have the pvw poster up at home of OSV's silver corrado, about the only car poster i have too :lol:

i suggested borbet but think i may be quite far off with that one :lol: deffo seen them before

i say quick as i'm sure i've seen them on here before, but i can't think what they are

flol, i was watching the vid, then at 15seconds i thought that noise was the car starting up :lol: thought you had a helicopter engine for a 2nd :wave:

i couldn't bring myself to loading up the corrado, i would be worried about marking anything :dorky: :lol: plus i think my carp kit has expanded so much i doubt it would fit in now.

1996 Ford Escort 1.8 Si, 5dr hatch, about 100k miles

nice collection kip :clap:

got it home lastnight, drives really well, steering and suspension feels tighter than the corrado :lol: really pleased with it brakes are shocking wheel arch is going to be fixed, i will buy one to weld in

i think its the wheels that caught my eye :lol: almost like a corrado speedline

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT won that yesterday on ebay, i really can't take the corrado on fishing trips not with the leather recaros :lol: Will fix the rusty arch up, can get it welded for free if needed. i'm quite happy i guess tbh i just put a £150 on it not expecting to win

lol just read my last reply and it doesn't make sense, i meant "rather than" not "then" :lol: good luck with mot

i've had a karcher machine for yonks, must be 7-8yrs old and still works great, i think it was called a 5.50 :confused4: Edit: this one http://images.owneriq.net/download/imag ... 000001.png

so far i've been really impressed with any dodo juice product i've tried, i thought they were some kind of scene gimmick at first but after buying some am really impressed. although i don't limit myself to one make of product

the blue one i ordered turned up today

here's a few of mine, i usually get them off ebay and try not to pay over £15, except the corrado one as i got that new, minichamps are releasing a yellow G60 soon. i think the senna one came off someone on here

they are all no.1 :lol:

this would be perfect for my fishing car, i keep looking for an old volvo estate, but nothing near that nice 8)
