I'll try and keep it quick Basically car has been making a grinding/rubbing/scrapping noise from the rear wheel is very noticable at low speeds took it to garage and they found that the face you don't see (inner side) of the passenger side rear disc is rusty where it should be shiny from the pad making contact, is just a small area on the outer edge of disc that isn't rusty (i tried to do a pic) should i get new discs (other side is fine), could it be something suspension related?

i've had two vauxhall and the exhausts didn't even last till 40,000miles 2/3years on both of em. my corrado still has original after 140,000 and 11yrs

are they expensive then? say a standard VR system?

i've heard of a corsa exclusive :lol:

good point, mine has been costing a small fortune most weeks since getting it. luckily i can pinch a van from work so don't get stuck without a car, otherwise i'd be seriously thinking of something else. its not that corrados are unrealible, its just they getting on a bit, all my problems are with small bits that would be on any car, water pumps, wipers, bearings, brakes, exhaust etc etc

they do look high, but next to other cars they still low, its just the gap from arch to wheel that looks a bit funny :lol: i'll get mine lowered one day

mine had two days being valetted by jedi knight on here. Christmas present was my excuse anyway :lol:

1995 VR6, 138,000miles, hardly anything has gone wrong, drives like new (ish), everything works still, but i only had it since august and i'm very unlucky :(

wow, they look really crap, don't suit the car at all :lol:

i had one and it stuck for 5yrs without budging, that was using the pads that came with it, make sure you clean everything with white spirits first

i'd get a new job :lol:

:! lethal :lol:

corrado seem a bit poor at the 1/4 mile :(

that all seems to work for me :?:

on an old car as the cheapest option i bought a mircoscan unit, that linked up to c/l. but it wouldn't activate alarm :( am sure they make plenty of add-ons tho, not sure, they could be crap :lol: i never had a problem

what bhp/torque is it?

can i order one today and wait for it?

where it says back order next to the VW keyrings, does that mean it'll take a while?

looks amazing what does it drive like being that low?

Wow, i never knew you did that much to them. I must say they feel superb now, totally transformed. Before the treatment they felt dry and a bit like fake plastic leather and i used to slip around in them when going round corners. The rear seats are massively improved, they looked really grey, dry and showed their age. I had worried about the leather cracking and splitting. But now, open the door it smells like new leather again, and they feel more like an animals skin now :lol: Brilliant job, deffo given them a few more years of life imo

how much oil should a VR use, i seem to have to top up at least once a week, probably doing a lot of miles though recentely, maybe 500-600 a week :!

check around the thermostat housing, on the front right corner as you stood infront of engine and about halfway down, has lots of pipes, i could see mine looked white and water stained, and after about 1 week it gave up and was pouring too much to be able to drive it. i got all the blue coolant that was in there flushed out, and replaced with g12+, i didn't wanna mix the two, so just used tap water (but it was warmer then)
