right, i took door apart lastnight, and all i could find that seemed wrong was the metal rod that connects handle to the latch on edge of door seems to have play in it, this is why the handle seems loose could the latch be buggered? i may take drivers side apart to see it looks as if it has been taken apart before
-
i hardly have passengers in my car, so i keep forgetting about this, but my passenger side door doesn't open from the inside, works fine from outside. the handles is loose and doesn't feel like its "biting" till it pulled fully and then a bit :lol: is this likely to be an easy fix?

i don't know what i'm looking at when i open bonnet :lol:
-
i need to get some prices together really, obviously i don't want to have to drive very far to get them done, so it may not be best to go through your mate :(
-
this is the damage i'm wondering about all the wheels are quite flaky/bubbling etc, but i presume thats all blasted off anyway
-
i'll get in the footwell at weekend then and looks for bolts to tighten some belt makes a kinda screech/whirring sound when you start ignition, just for a second after engine kicks into life
-
i asked chap i bought car from about it on the test drive and he said it had done it since he did topmounts?
-
does every corrado do this? when you parking or turning at low speeds the car sounds like a ginuea (sp) pig. http://s59.photobucket.com/albums/g306/ ... bc9d6c.flv ^^^i tried to make a video of the sound

i just got another set of speedlines yesterday, in need of a refurb, most look straight forward, but one has met a curb in a hurry and looks like it needs a bit of rim re-made etc? not sure, just a bit missing, i was wondering if that can be fixed? i'll get pics
-
NOOOOO!!! i hate this type of this, has deffo been done on purpose, looks wobbly where was the car at the time?

i've been told that most primers are etch primers, even the majority of ones in a can?
-
i just got another set of speedlines and might try refurbing them myself, anyone here done this? am sure i've seen a thread somewhere any tips?
-
any updates on this? i was about to send off a cheque

Have never been a fan of rollcages on road cars, but this takes the piss :lol: what on earth?
-
what happened to the exterior, i thought you only painted it not that long ago?? looks tidy,
-
i';ve just read all this thread and i'm thinking i might just go to garage with some photos and a list of bits i want done :lol: are the bits pictured above just called track rod ends? is it those that need replacing? or some rack as well? so far i'm thinking -lower ball joints -rear wheel bearing (mainly as i've had fronts done anyway) -top mounts, front and rear and bearings or some sort? i don't think i'll touch the rack/column until its the last resort
-
the guy at VW said the bearing was part of the disc or something along those lines? i want to replace both discs and bearings at the rear, do they come seperately or do you have to press them in somewho?
-
yeah, i'm sure its a really genuine car, have seen the guy post quite a bit about the car since he got it. I don't think i'll be buying one anytime soon, i'll stick with the corrado, only just got a pug 306 as a runaround anyway :lol:
