Like it. Put it in the "different view on Corrado" thread. :D

It'll be coming off the road in the winter and i have a list of things to do, i will add this :D David - thanks i'll do this also. Id say the car was drifting gently rather than pulling though.

+2 on that. Look rather impressive and for £70 id say it would be worth doing every 4-5 years, if not just once!

No the axle bushes havent been changed so yes, maybe they've been moved with teh impact. To be honest im not sure if im just being paranoid or not - they wheels looks fine and i dont know if the steering wheel was slightly off centre before and i never noticed. Plus mix in the juddering/bouncy feeling im getting under my feet, it doesnt help me think something isnt wrong. Can damage on the rear affect the steering anyway?

bump

The front is easy peasy, but how do you do the rear left engine mount?

£20 odd for the switch (£28 I think, dont quote me), £50 odd for the loom. Worth the money though.

Well yes true.

The switched i replaced with one from Matt8v got rather warm. Not hot just quite warm. Never set on fire and still works - had it for 6 year. I wouldnt be panicking but id make sure you get it sorted sooner rather than later.

Thye really do love the venoms in Europe.

what! £33 each and thats with discount.

Hi all, Had a run in with a kerb the other day, lack of attention meant i mis judged turning into the local Sainsburys and the rear drivers wheel hit the kerb. I didnt hit it perpendicular just dead on - wheel rolled over the kerb as such but with a thud as it was a high kerb. Nothing apparently damaged, even though i was expecting a flat tyre if nothing else. But no bent rim, not bust tyre. Just a rub mark on the tyre. Now i dont know if it was like this before and it was so slightly that i didnt notice. But since then ive noticed the steering wheel being slightly off centre - im talking a couple of degrees out (2 minutes past 12 position), when on a straight road. if i put it dead centre the car drifts slightly to the kerb side. Not sure if this is just the camber of the road, but i have tried it on an apparent flat road with no/v little camber. The car handles fine apart from this steering wheel position. Im sure the only 100% way to tell is get a laser alignment done. But is it possible ive bent the trailing arm, even slightly, or do they take more punishment than im giving it credit for. Any other symptoms to give me an idea?

meamug x 2! haha

Coming along nicely mate. How close does the gearstick get to the dash, when put in 5th?

The G Wagon is very nice, really like those.

and potentially buying it karl ;) :D

If you get in touch with Matt8v he's been selling new headlight switches which are from a jap VW, the new switches dont suffer from the overheating issue. New looms are for bright lights as opposed to fire prevention. As the new loom draws power directly from the battery as opposed to the wiring going all round the car where you get voltage drop before they get to the lights. The loom is HIGHLY recommended along with new bulbs. Contact Kur2y IIRC, or you can make your own. Depends how good you are with wiring.

The yellow one looks awesome! Got a blue onemade by Schabak, same size but different make and it looks more like a toy than a scale model. The minichamps ones really are better.

:lol:

Got that in red.... bought form a show (vanfest i think) for £25 ish. Really detailed though considering the size

Maybe he's not a Corrado Enthusiast, just an ownwer - know real knowledge on them. Dont mix up ignorance to bull***t :lol:

Its not abotu the ££££ its about the Love :D

id remove the reg plate number though ;)

I like that, i can see that printed on some canvas, framed and up on the wall. [thumbs up]

Very nice.
