red corrado16v

I have T1-Rs on my Corrado in 195-45-16s all round, i've got to say that there excellent and provide bags of feedback, excellent wet weather grip and are wearing very well, will defo fit again in the future. Good price as well. £260 including VAT, fitting and nitrogen inflation. From Westgate Tyres, Morcambe.

Now im'e old and getting lazy i would like to fit an aftermarket remote central locking kit with a blipper, my car allready has c/l. Can anyone recomend a kit?, or has any one fitted one?. Obviously needs to be secure, my car has no security system fitted and would prefer to leave it that way so an alarm system is out of the question.

Had a look the outher day and found some of my relays and fuses were a little loose, probably unrelated but it has'nt done it for a while now.Worth a try!

2nd car but used every day as work/family/diy transport, love it to bits but is looking unloved at the moment.............hate this time of year.......dirty roads.......cow shit on country lanes.......hedges being cut........immpossible to keep car clean. Wifes got a Renault Megane 1.5td as the family hack.....60mpg and only £50 a year tax...........to cheap to get rid of!!!!!!!

Wayne 33. Yellow 1980 mk1 1.1 cl, my first car and first VW. Various Vauxhall Nova's 1.2, 1.3sr x2,Gte. Peugout 205 1.6 Gti. 1990 mkII GTI big bumper, sold to buy house. Fiat Uno (used as builders skip) Ford Sierra estate(used as builders skip) Citreon zx diesel Peugout 405 estate (used as builders skip) Fiat bravo in lime green Vauxhall senator 3l Auto(v quick,scary mpg). MkIII Gti Renault Laguna Same MkII Gti that i used to own plus one for spares. Renault Megane 1.5 Diesel Corrado 1.8 16v. Maybe a Caterham or an Elise next.

looked at the wiring and all seems to be fine, are these vdo clocks prone to problems ?

Has anyone else had a problem like this?.My car is a 1990 (G) Corrado 1.8 16valve. My oil pressure warning system keeps going off for a few fractions of a second with the buzzer blipping at the same time. Seems to do it when the car is warming up more so than when its at full temperature. Every now and then warning alarm wont go off until the engine has been switched off. It started doing it around 3 months ago so i changed both oil pressure switches (0.3 and 8 bar) fully flushed the engine with a quality engine flush, changed oil for a non synthetic oil and replaced the oil filter. I also had the oil pressure checked and was told it was fine. I thought this would cure it but it returned a few weeks later. It has been suggested to me that the VDO clocks can develop a fault with the curcuit boards that control the oil pressure system. Has anybody else seen this before?. I have also noticed that the top half of the MFA screen keeps going dimmer than the bottom half, could it be conected?. Any help would be gratefully recieved.

Will have to keep an eye on this one !I live no where near you guys, but my car has exactly the same spoting on the bonnet as yours. I purchased my car from Wolverhampton, and this spotting appeared a few weeks later, spend a lot of time and money trying to get rid of it (not had it painted....yet!).Vanishes after a good polish using autoglym silicone resin polish and then extra gloss protection, but will allways reappear after a week or so. Mate of mine suggested a Farecla trade only cutting compound...but i am having some difficulty finding some. Going to see a paint specialist to try to find a remedy.

Sold my mkII to buy my Corrado and still miss it to this day :( It was a 90 big bumper in white,uprated suspension,roll cage,stripped out interior. Not particularly a good one but was loads of fun. Did a couple of track days in it....Fantastic.

If its got no tax and test then you are running the risk of being stopped :lcop:, any car being towed outher than on a trailer HAS to be t&t and insured,purely because it is in contact with the road. Try phoning a local garage and ask for a fixed price collection, there are also loads of people on ebay that offer a collection service, if they can collect a couple of vehicles from the same area at the same time it could work out cheaper. Try asking someone down the pub, theres allways someone(mate of a mate of a mate) with a landrover & trailer willing to earn a few bob.

Good advice...don't want to see any of these :lcop:. kind of hoping they will be that busy nicking outher people that they will ignore us......after all them old 911's ar'nt that fast...are they? :lol: We'll just be following the outher 99,999 people in stupidly fast cars down there and enjoying the ride. At least we'll be sitting on the right side of the car when we get to France as it's a left hand drive.

Cheers, do you have a number for them or do they have a web site i can visit.

Im'e going to lemans in a couple of weeks and this is my ride.We are traveling down from Harogate on Thursday 15th, crossing on Eurostar and then via Rouen to Leman.We are camping at Kart Nord, i know there is a group from the forum going but was wondering if there was anyone else going, post up a picture of your ride and i will look out for you on the way.I will post up all my pictures from my travels when i get back.

Looking for some material to repair a worn bolster on my Corrado,colour is black with green fleck, it's getting worse and needs doing soon, does anyone know where i can get some?, or has anyone had there's repaired at a trimmers, can anyone recomend one in the N/W, Cumbria, Lanc's area.

Lippy, how where the rims mate,hope they did the job.I think they would look good refurb'd and polished,let us know how you got on.

was8v, where do you live ? jeffcabbage, where do you live ?

Some of us are lucky enougth to live only a few miles from the lakes :lol: ,some very good roads around here..........trouble is there clogged by tourists!................only joking!!!!.Hope you had a good weekend. Where abouts did you stay?,where did you go to?. I met dave16v on Friday because i bought some alloys off him,he was of to Keswick for a weekend...Hope you had a good weekend Dave,thanks again for bringing the alloys with you,im'e realy pleased with them.

chubbybrown, Be quick,nice man at my dealer said VW in Germany only had 9 left.

chubbybrown, Bottom nearest the door.

Just bought a seat bolster from my local VW dealer part no 535881378b padding. This was drivers side/door side padding £25.04 +vat took a week to come from the Fatherland.

Just fitted and set up my coilovers and have been playing with the rideheight,i have set it up with a distance of 310mm between wheelarch and wheel centre......looks very low and i am not sure if i like it or not,no rubbing or catching but i am only running standard wheels at the moment,what drop do you guys have and am i measuring it correctly ?.

Just doing mine today,word of warning BRETTLOVEDAY,get your self some new brake hoses flexi and fixed as mine where seized solid and had to be cut off before i could remove rear axle to fit new bushes(polysport)http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=533_741_761&products_id=5127 this will also make the job far easyer when you come to refit the axle as everything is all new. If youve got access to a brake line flaring kit make yourself some new brake lines for the rear axle while it is off,I bought some brake line (40p per foot)and new fittings (12p each)from a local motor factors.Good luck,very satisfying to know you have done it all yourself and saved a bundle in the process.

Yes it was,thought the name was familiar.....Car looks fantastic :lol: .Is it the same car you came to collect the teledials in?.

Andy t..... Will you be selling the wheels or keeping hold of them.

Took rear axel off in readyness for new rear bushes,fitting coilovers and some goodridge hoses (when i can identify which kit i need!)rear bushes were totally screwed,all the brake lines were seized,obviously never been off the car since birth.Next job new bottom ball joints,track rod ends and wishbone bushes. Then its off to get the tracking set and the camber set.
