  1. lol a local place did it, am starting to lose confidence with them now. about 1yr and a half ago they forgot to plug the rad fans back in :lol:
  2. not had any more problems since i tightened up the battery, but thats interesting to know. i will be even more worried about driving it lol
  3. must say that, every dodo juice product i buy i love.. got through loads of drying towels, megs, poorboys, sonus etc and after a while the microfibre ones do leave marring in the laquer. Now use an I4D Uber plush drying towel :dorky: :dorky:
  4. its does run out the bottle quite easily and its easy to spill loads by just tipping the bottle, so yes its a bit runny. Maybe your last bottle was old? have you shaken it? lol
  5. had a check around car, and the gearbox light switch didn't have the wire plugged in, so plugged that back on. And noticed one of the battery connections was loose.....:lol: glad it was an easy one, was in a bad mood this morning thinking something else wasn't about to cost hundreds :brickwall:
  6. i haven't had a chance to look yet, but will be what i will be doing tomorrow now i guess. also, i had the seats out recently and after that the fuse blew for the electric adjustment, replaced it, but noticed thats blown again. So gotta have the seats out too, could it be related?
  7. Only just got car back from having the clutch done, drove it during the day and it was fine, but at night in the wet i've had problems. 1st off i noticed the reverse lights weren't working, so put that down to the switch not connected where they had gearbox out. But driving along with wipers on, stereo on, and lights on, i turn on full beam and the stereo went off? so went back to dipped and stereo came back on. Tried that a couple of times then decided to leave stereo off. Then went i put full beam on the engine jolted once as i flicked them on, and happens each time. And just coming home now, went to start it and it kept turning over but wouldn't start, got it going in the end. What could this be? alternator? battery? something disturbed during clutch change? has been endless problems this last month or two, exhaust, water pump, clutch, now this. All within a few hundred miles :censored: :brickwall:
  8. i'd like to pinch the engine from one of these
  9. i think the number plate ruins the front end if anything. letters look too big and the font just seems wrong, especially the 5 & 2
  10. pmsl my mate made his own car.....i'll find the photos :lol: :lol:
  11. amazing how they get in such a state!!!! :shock:
  12. something always needs investigating on a corrado :lol:
  13. i'd budget around £500 maybe less, maybe more
  14. just had a magnex fitted and not many miles later its blowing from the join, the garage said something about your not meant to use the putty/paste stuff on stainless system, but i told them to use it if needed. they have it back at the moment to fix it, and straighten exhaust. had no problems with my last stainless system and that had a similar connection, wasn't on a corrado though
  15. but you can get kits to swap all those bits, or you could just spray them
  16. i do remember a chap on another forum that did that, will go back and look for pics
  17. love them, if they didn't make the corrado i would have one of them. my dads have a couple of the saloon versions and i usually pass a guy going the opposite way in a black coupe one when going to work
  18. i do like a nice set of speedlines. 8) 8) thinking of doing the mk4 expansion tank conversion myself
  19. the headlight switch loom can be replaced quite easy, i found someone breaking a corrado and got one under a tenner. worth sticking an inline fuse in it too when you refit. nice job so far though....
