    sorted, got bumper and slam panel off now, couldn't disconnect the bonnet cable that you pull to open it, so slam panel is still attached by that, but thats no problem really. silly question, but where do you drain the coolant from? just pull off any hose?
  2. Jim Bowen
    amazing, you certainly do things properly. car looks fantastic 8) some really good mods

    wasn't someone on here looking for those centre caps the other day?

    does the noise sound like the spring twisting and twanging back into place? thats what i had
  6. Jim Bowen
    just out of interest what springs plates and top mounts are you using. when i had early plates with late mounts i had loads of noises, and steering didn't feel right to me, swapped to late springs plates and steering was instantely much smoother and noise free

    is the nut coming loose on the strut then? once mine are tight, the whole lots just turns together, maybe new nuts needed? they have the plastic/nylon inside iirc, can't remember the name

    i think its getting to the point where it could be classed as Horse-rassment on the polices behalf

    i was reading a way to test the switch in the manual the other day, but can't remember what it was. something about disconnecting it, and touching something to earth

    i've never ever had a flat battery :lol: everything else on my cars breaks, but the battery has never died :lol: am sure i can leave the corrado for more than 10days and it starts fine

    heres the pic from the manual, this makes no sense to me
  18. Jim Bowen
    this is where i get lost :lol: i read this thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=273&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 on the 2nd page it says DO NOT UNDO???
  19. Jim Bowen
    i'm now confused, looking at the car there are 4x17mm bolts with a smaller 13mm in the middle of them? someone says 4 to undo, some say 2? :lol:
  20. Jim Bowen
    thats useful, i think i'll put something under the engine anyway :lol: now i'm thinking i should do the water pump while i'm at it :( don't fancy having to take car apart again, i've already ordered the gruvenparts mount for pump, so should really do pump i guess
  21. Jim Bowen
    i will have a spare elbow soon started this job on mine at the weekend, just stopped when i came to taking bumper off, is it just those 4x 17mm nuts that hold it on? so far i take off all lights and arch liners do i need to unbolt much else? seem weird to have 4 bolts holding it on, and do i need to support engine if i remove slam panel
  22. Jim Bowen
    have you checked any fuses?
  23. Jim Bowen
    whoops :lol: it is a horrible bit of road, especially in a lowered car, its like surfing almost!! road throws you everywhere
  24. Jim Bowen
    i like going under the other bridge at 6000rpm... :lol:
  25. Jim Bowen
    yeah, i wanna get it all off to give it a clean, plus i ordered all the gruvenparts parts because i'm mad apparantely
