Ah i thought they came with 288s :oops: Really interested in these brakes. Will these brakes perform better than standard even if they're the same size - im referring more to modern design rather than size.

So is it 280 or nothing for the VR?

Possibly mystic blue C spotted parked up on the drive of a house on the A6120 at Colton. New owner possibl. Never seen it before.

cool i'll nip to maplins tomorrow. Failing that i'll try the above shop nrc posted :D

ive bought the correct relays before from maplin, but cannot remember which one as i had the old relays to go on. Ive checked the connectors and the relay - the relay itself has rust inside it. haha so i know its that thats shot.

Hi all, I need a new relay for my headlight loom, water has got in and the full beam doesnt work (main beam just turns off). So need a new relay. I've looked at the existing 2 relays, they're both the same, but both only say "606A" or something similar on them. Any idea which relays i need? I've looked on maplins and theirs either a 40amp or 30amp relays in either a 12v or 24v variety? Can someone tell me which one i need?

:lol: a joke present you'll probably use at some point.

Stone - got another pic stood a bit further away from the car and a little lower? (drivers perspective)

Hi mate, Welcome aboard! :D

Boil the kettle and pour onto the strips then once you get a bit of strip off the body pour more hot water so it goes under the strip. The key is to do it slowly.

Good luck mate, hope it goes as smooth as it possibly can for you. I hate people like this, they need to take responsibility for their kids actions. grrr makes my blood boil.

Again i cant advise anymore then whats already been said. But may be their car will "mysteriously be damaged"

What i want to do and what i can are two different things :lol: will be saving for wedding so money will be put into that. BUT, if i cant the chance, i want to swap the interior seats, get the alloys resprayed or even changed. Most of all, i want to get the car resprayed but that wont be for a while yet :(

Which bulbs did you use for the heater controls. Also early or late heater controls

Hi matt Speak to matt8v - he was selling a batch of head light switches from china. There's a thread about it somewhere. Would be worth seeing if he has any left? http://www.the-corrado.net/showthread.php?57486-Late-Headlight-Switch....New-Batch-Delivered.&highlight=headlight+switch

It sounds normal??? im confused by that... ive never known it to be normal for the temp to drop to 70 even when driving. before this issue, certainly when the new stat was fitted it used to sit at 90 on the dot and there was little movement. From what it was like before and what ive been told the temp should be around 90. Its never dropped to 70 before and has always been at 90 - which i believe is normal operating temp. In traffic id expect it to rise to 100 then the fans kick in until the temp drops to 90 again - which it used to do. ---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 AM ---------- Cheers for the battery check guys! :)

Ok cool. I'll check the voltage across the battery tomorrow. Is this done with no engine running?

Ok, so the thermostat could still be the answer. Though my thermostat was changed a couple of years ago - hasnt lastest long if it is foobar'd. Infact it was changed in 2008 when new engine went in - is it normal for them to only last 4 years, or is that usual time period? RW1- just another maybe unrelated Q. When i put the heated rear window on the green digital display lights dim a tad - not much, but it is noticable. Also when the indicator flashes they go dim intermitently. Is this a possible sign of the, probably original alternator on its way out?

Your issue could well be the thermostat. If there was an apparent fan issue id have said thermostat for mine too. Unless its both the thermostat and fan switch thats happened to go wrong at the same time.

Hi all, Sorry to post yet another problem, especially when its a temp related issue. Basically since my top rad hose sprunk a leak and i had to drain most of the system refill then get all the air out of it. The temp gauge sit at 90 as it should - it did before. Now it sits at 85 and can even drop to 70 when driving. I thought maybe the thermostat. But was told if its the thermostat the temp would continue to drop to zero. If im in traffic, so stood still, it can go to 90 but when i get going again it will drop. Now, ive noticed that when sat in traffic the temp will creep up to 90, but then the fans kick in and the temp starts to drop again, then after about 30 seconds the fans go off and again, still in traffic, it'll creep up to 90 again.... it seems to loop like this. Today i noticed that if i had the heated rear window on it will do this loop, but the fan then kicks in at 85 - again fans on for about 30seconds temp dropped to 70 ish and then fans go off and temp creeps back up (still with heated switch on). I tried again with heated switch off and it did the 90 loop again. Now i cant see how the heated window would be related and im thinking, the fan rad switch is faulty. But does this explain the low temps whilst driving. Could the fan be coming on whilst driving which is cooling the engine further whilst the air from driving passes over it also?? Oil temps are normal btw, even when water is 70. Before all this months if not a year or so before, when i had driven the car and switch the engine off the fans would kick in not long after - this is normal. But the fan was irratic and would switch on for a second then off then back off, then may come on as normal, sometimes not. But the problem seemed to go away, but now the fans are acting up when driving. Im thinking the fan switch as i said, but im not sure if there's more of an issue there?? Cheers Gaz

huh!?

ah fair enough then. When i had a smash in my old G60 i unwittingly fitted a mismatch of early and late wings/bonnet/bumper/slam panel and hand panel gap issues - was maybe my fitting though, also the pins on the bonnet didnt quite line up with the holes in the slam panel.

Good decision Wullie. If he changes the front bumper to a late one, he'll have to change the frotn wings and bonnet and slam panel also will he not (obviously slam panel and drivers wing need replacign anyway)
