Had this on mine - as dox recommends I stripped completely, greased and reassembled and it works a treat now - I hadn't used it in my 7 years of ownership until battery died and I found it was seized! If you need to lock it temporarily I think you might be able to disconnect the connecting rod that goes between the push button and the catch....

Good info - maybe needing to do this myself soon!

Good pics!

That's weird - they were in at my work today too and I also had a sneaky peak looking for the corrado!

Max speed 133.8mph @ 6291 rpm Peak torque 197 lbft @4269rpm Max power 199.4 bhp @ 5704rpm

Yep great day - thanks to Jim for organising and to Vince and Jon for running a slick day as usual. Good to meet so many people from the forum- shame I had to head off a bit early but hope to make it for the full session next time, when I'll be aiming to brake 200 having been so close today with a factory engine!

Just realised that the clocks go back this weekend - should make the early Sunday morning start somewhat easier!

Mic_vr where are you heading from? I'll be coming from oundle so will be doing a605 a45 a14 m6 too as am planning to be there early as have limited time I can stay for! Jim - is this where you mean?

Just a quick update - touch wood the issue has now gone away, seemed to be getting better and also gave the MAF a clean as suggested (well, Vince did as the car had to go into Stealth for an emergency clutch repair so two birds...), which would give weight to the oil from the filter just reducing the accuracy of the MAF.... Cheers Phil

Date confirmed so I'll be along for this too.. Thanks for organising this Jim... Cheers Phil

Is it me or were the prices for plugs and leads a tad expensive?!!!

Hoping to come to this but just need to confirm dates....

Lovely looking k reg green vr6 in Salcombe car park today at lunchtime - on holiday so don't know if you're local or also on holiday here!

Hi, Just paid, sorry for delay! Cheers Phil

Hi, Just paid, sorry for delay! Cheers Phil

Hi, How much for the ecu posted? Cheers Phil

Think it's L041 black, but not 100% sure I'm afraid...

If I'm recognising that car correctly you now have a very sorted corrado, having seen it in when it was in 2.9VRT guise at Stealth a couple of years ago! Enjoy.

Hi, Thanks for the response. Will get some cleaner and give that a go. The Damper I've already replaced is between Isv and the inlet, not the throttle body damper... Cheers Phil

Afraid weekends aren't great for me either, plus am moving house that weekend so afraid it's a no this time.

Following stalling issues earlier this year and replacing ISV, ISV damper and done an ECU learn, all seemed good (additionally MAF replaced 2 years ago), I now think that the blue temp sender is on the way out, as stalling at idle has started again! This only happens when the engine is cold, so having read up various threads on here guessing this is either the MAF or the Blue Temp sender. Tried disconnecting each one at the weekend - without the MAF couldn't keep the engine running even when applying throttle, whilst without the temp sender the engine would run but the idle speed dropped to ~550rpm from it's usual 650rpm. So question is do the Blue temp senders get less accurate with age? And hence best bet is to try replacing this first, additionally this is a lot less than MAF replacement! Only other thing is have recently swapped to a Jetex panel filter (just before the problem started so slightly suspicious) and read somewhere that these have some oil on them, which could contaminate the MAF? I'm nervous about thrying to clean the MAF element, as I don't want to do more damage than good as after a couple of minutes of running, all is fine! Any advice appreciated... Cheers Phil

Hi. Could I have the rear number plate plinth please posted assuming no cracks etc in it? If you could let me know cost posted... Cheers Phil

63p a mile all in (tax, insurance, MOTs, petrol, tyres, service, paint, repairs / upgrades, cost of car etc etc...!)... don't want to think about how many miles I've done in it though!

Hi, beyond it being black I'm afraid I don't know the colour code, as bought it for a few specific parts rather than as a replacement so wasn't worried about the colour! Can do a close up photo of the paint if that helps? Or you could pop round to have a look if you're local?

Open to offers - need this to go in the next couple of weeks now!
