i am starting this at the weekend, exact same thing did you have to support the engine at all, i read somewhere about one bolt that holds bumper on also does something with the engine?

chesnut avenue? i was behind you a few weeks back, not in the corrado tho, cars looks very mean from behind now 8)

i don't get it, are you after a decent corrado for yourself?, or do you just clean them up and sell them on?

or magnets

Magnetic strips? like fridge magnets, but you'd probably have to stick it to the bumper and to the numberplates, could you get plates made up like a fridge magnet? flexible plates

:lol::lol::lol: not very german sounding

12v and 24v ones? bit of a stab in the dark really what capacity is the V5?

if its getting all over the underside of bonnet that would suggest it getting flung around. are the fan blades covered in coolant? i am having coolant issues at the moment too, car is tucked away in garage and the guys at local place spotted a hole in rad, which i hadn't noticed i've had the thermostat housing go, and it didn't spray all around the engine bay. can you look through the front of grill? i think a magical stone managed to find its way through mine and that what has pieced the rad, bloody good shot on the stones behalf tho :lol:

after this thread i bought a dremel, corded one in the end the results must of had these for months now, taken ages to clean them up...but they now ready :lol: when i got them

these are the 3 numbers i can find associated with it, not sure if it helps tho 1H6071213 6K0071213 1H9071213

and they also appear here http://www.centercaps.net/caps/listing. ... 38&make=11

well the site that image is from says, Description: 1993-1999 VW Golf Center Cap

i have that knocking still but have done most things mentioned in the thread, i also have a knocking through the steering at low speeds that is getting worse, and a similar knock as i accelerate

i couldn't say, i have the receipt at home

i use golden syrup now after seeing the modern skodas now run this stuff, takes a while to pour in and you need alot of tins, but the smell after a quick blat is amazing. i do however get a lot of bees & wasps following me during the warmer months

i did the rods and after looking at the old ones off the car, there was nothing wrong with them, couldn't see how they could wear really, quite a solid chunk of metal

i can't find them but they have a big pot within arms reach so i guess they quite common and universal across the range. was about £2.50 each tho :shock:

i got some not long ago, will see if i can find the info

got rad too..... £188 :! seems alot but not really really bad i spose. chappy said there's only 4 left? does that mean in the world? ever? its going to take a few days to get mine in, or do they still make them?

when i had one i would adjust the bits with car jacked up anyway, then tighten them up properly with car on the ground

i take this back!!! was told he was good, but after seeing his work for myself i decided he is crap :mad2: too scared to use him now, saw some work he had done and it felt gritty all over, you could see lumps in the laquer (dust)? and to top it off he had polished in some nice swirls and hologramming into it aswell

brakes look much better now, still not got mine on

super nice mate, such an inspiration to me, i feel like i'm following in your footsteps :lol: sure i asked this before but who has done paint work on yours, the guy i had lined up that i was told is "excellent", has turned out to be crap. looked at another customers panel he had painted and i would of been screaming it it was on my car :gag:

just about to order crack pipe rad neck water pump bracket Y piece from strictly dubs, is there anything else worth getting, of course the rad, and going to get a few hoses if i need them, just from VW tho, can't wait for samcos

i'd go standard too, something about the inpros that just looks wrong to me
