LOL, I was waiting for someone to chime in with that :lol: Who cares anyway, engines I consider to be wear / disposable items. They are still a factory block and head, but with new innards. The car itself has done 180K :wink: You have completely changed your engine for one that was never even in a Corrado, so you're not part of the club :lol: lol, i think my engine, interior & bodywork is about the only things to of done 180k, feels like i've replaced most of the other stuff now

Haven't seen that many 0's since..................well 170,000miles :sleeping: I'm impressed as the engine is one of the only things that has never broken, still all original stuff

rubbish brakes on my auto vr6?? and box??
Jim Bowen replied to marmite monster's topic in Drivetrain
yeah the original brakes can be old by now, mine were pretty buggered when i got it, pistons kept seizing up etc. so upgraded them all -
this was the main reason for me buying one the other week :lol:

i've never been able to set a radio up in a car, not had radio since i've been driving, (about 10yrs) :lol: Can get CD player, ipod etc working but radio reception is always crap for some reason.

You can also use something like Dodo Juice Red mist after cleaning and drying, i really like this stuff now

:salute: Nice one!

sometimes it isn't just a cause of water getting it, it could just be moisture trapped inside the car. could you try a tub of that silcia (sp) gel you get with trainers sat in the car for a few nights, i remember seeing a mate using it at home to get moisture out of some double glazing

that is the other side of it, although i bought mine totally standard, the shocks were worn out, the brakes kept seizing, the rubber bushes in suspension all perished and didn't last long, so i've had to replace alot anyway
