  1. i would save a bit of cash and do an engine rebuild my self. but i like to get messy and do it DIY style. a grand would probs get you the engine rebuilt if it needed it, it the labour that costs so if you dont want to do it spend more. Having said which i have driven some good VR's for thr 3k mark (please not i have also driven some dogs in the same price range!!!)
  2. awsome! you are like me but backwards lol. Just before i got the raddo i had the 2.2 version but an old guy crashed into mine a wrote it off. she is missed! Good luck with yours :-)
  3. Cheers for that, was actually thinking of one of your shots of the polished mech (least think it was you) I didn’t reset the motor but will do tomorrow. Again that’s perfect!
  4. Do they knock over bumps? how far do the stick up? guess they could. Have you tested your CV joints - the old drive round in a circle does the trick. If you hear knocking need replacing
  5. The rears have a top mount type rubbers, they are different to the front. And don’t often need replacing. Its really easy to do those your self as you need no special tools.
  6. I did both of my own including new struts in about 45-1hour. if a garage is doing it they will likely look for about 1.5h, at least thats all it should take tops! edit: there is very ilttle adjustment on stock shocks so as long as they mark the bottom bolt positions you should be fine with out camber redone. if lowered budget for getting this done :-)
  7. does anyone have a picture of how to connect the wiper mech to the motor, just got me new one today and need to make sure i have done it right! A quick snap of the motor area will be fantastic! cheers :D
  8. Just the look and feel of the car is sporty and feels quite grown up/unique in terms of sports cars, much like the corrado. edit: the 928 is more of a cruiser than the raddo I would have thought
  9. 928, always wanted one. white or red later spec :)

    Tornado red

    flash red is the brightest of the two.
  11. very nice, love the interior
  12. cracking choice grommit! Will watch this closely, good luck ;)
  13. gray raddo flying accross the rbout outside retail world, team vally gateshead...
  14. Least you know it comes off, be carefull with the 2 bolts that hold the flange on they can snap!
  15. since VW seemd only to manage a nats cock worth of coating i dont see how any other could be thinner :lol: I mean it comes off when you touch it! Bloody corrados, but on the pluse side i think my cleaning has helped a little (dish washers rule!)
  16. yep sounds like a possibility! it is located near the power steering pump/water pump base. Sadly i believe that you have to remove the steering pump to get to the bottom of the water pump. Find all the belts and look down. (a radiator hose on the right of the vehicle goes into the flange you are looking for) hth
  17. Thanks guys, top idea! will look into it. :)
  18. Hmm well if i cant source a set of 2nd hand ones, guess ill have a look at the inpro's but not this month lol Cheers guys, another corrado problem solved!!!!!
  19. Thats what its for!! :lol: Bugger!! how much am i looking at? may end up going for some inpros? cheers
  20. Well time will tell if my cleaning has helped at all, but heres a pic of my finished lights

    RadWeld ?

    I have used it on my 16v, its still alive but i have to say there are loads of 'bits' still in there after a flush. If you can get a new rad as the man says. BUT ouch! http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecommerce/S ... esults.asp edit: Ouch again https://secure.gsfcarparts.com/shop/results.asp
  22. That aint the half of it lol, there are a few cylinder heads below the window :oops: :lol: Will do! Thanks for the responses guys :)
  23. marcus, try before you buy, they are far from the level of comfort that a corrado brings!!
