peanut

fingers crossed. Think i put my opinon of him across to his mrs very bluntly

aye thats what im doing at the moment mate, Between nikki and i we've managed to work out one of the days i rang him and roughly what sort of time. Fingers crossed he answers his phone Gav

if i didnt have his contact details i wouldnt have paid, my fault that i only put them on my phone and not somewhere more secure. Just frustrating tis all, trying to get hold of a couple of friends who are in the police to get his addy from the reg plate on the golf, (presuming of course he registered it in his name) but sods law no ones picking up there bloody phone today Gav

this is the link to the original for sale ad when the guy bought it http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/179843.htm

lmao, quality :lol:

no mate, i just very work hard for my money and the things i own and will not be taken for a mug

6.5 yrs in the prison service and 5.5 yrs in the air force, theres certain things ive learned how to do and get away with

Right apologies for the rant but im not a happy teddy bear. As a few of you might know i sold the goof and bought another rado. Hurray! Cut a long and tedious story short.....i did a deal with a guy on e38 for a complete charger kit for the vr. Done deal only issue s being hes nr wigan, we're in Kent and the charger is still on the car, i paid for the charger and arranged to go up ther last fri. Beginning of the week my phone starts to play up, not holding a charge etc etc, come friday its dead. This guys number is on the phone not the sim so i know dont have his number. I pm'ed him off e38 explained the situation and to get in touch to arrange where id be meeting him the next day. Cue Nikki and i driving up to wigan. Fri comes and goes and we still here nothing, no internet access so Grade a helps by lgging into my e38 account and checking if the guys been online onr read the pm. Nothing,m he was online thurs morning and thats it. Friday down the pan we go home to sunny kent. I pm him again asking what the hell is going on....fuel, hotel and a days pay gone for feck all. No reply. I then contact the guy he bought the car off which im getting the charger from, asking for contact details and explaining the situation. No reply. Grade a posted on e38 asking if anyone had his contact details but nno ones posted. Its monday now and ive heard bugger all, he's not been online since thurs night. For his health id better not have been scammed but its looking more and more that thats the way this is going. Please dont post up "well you should have know better ....dont trust anyone...blah...blah blah. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. My fault, shouldnt have paid in full and should have noted his number and addy donw somewhere other than my mobby, just very angry at the moment. If it comes down to it i have avenues i can look into for finding people through people i know but it takes time. Who know....i might come home one night this week to a pm from the guy saying his pc has died or a genuine reason for the lack of contact...but i have a sneaky feeling i have as much chance of that happening as kylie growing another booby. Sorry for the rant, ive just got the hump Gav

Strictly dubs are doing ARP head bolts for 179.95 plus post. Thought this was a pretty good price

Anyone got any pics of 9 or 10x15's on a rado please?

maybe but wont be for a while yet. No time to do anything to it at the moment due to work, however managed to change the wheels and ditch the ickle splitter for a 90mm one. Found a few more jobs to do over the next while. - Rocker gasket - Sump Gasket - Plugs and leads to try and cure slight missfire - New dics/pads/fluid up front - Inner cv gaitors - Drivers door lock - Fit headunit Heres a couple of pics in the mean time

ooooh i recognise that. Thatll be my old vr before Ross bought it. Good to see its staying on the forum. Ive got some pics somewhere of when i bought it completely stock standard with black leather. Think theres even some pics of when some of the forum members helped me fit the beige leather at e38 a few years ago, ill try and dig them out. Enjoy Gav

ill get some pics tomorrow but came home today to find missus has spent the day cleaning and poilishing the blue rado, looking uber shiny now. Thankyou muchly missus

no mate, sadly lost a few bits when we moved. Looking for more beige again for this one so if i found owt ill let you know

lol, ive only got a blue one 8)

cheers for that, im uber critical of everything i do so thats a very nice comment to get

Cheers Nikki for putting the pics up, i was busy er...doing my hair. right , this is my 8th sodding corrado in approx 3 years. If i sell this one someone please just take me out back and shoot me...got a feeling youll need to form an orderly queue behind M15VW though :D Cheers for all the comments, much appreciated. Its not mint by any stretch of the imagination but its pretty straight and theres no rot. Mechanicals seem pretty good so far. Few little jobs that are on the priority list, (gearbox mount and rocker gasket) but luckily there not expensive and ive got a couple of spare rocker gaskets. Central locking doesnt work off the drivers door but other than that all the electrics work, got a replacement sunroof panel to go on as theres a bit of a ding on the one thats there. Basically all in its pretty sound just needs a bit of fettling. As ever got got lots of ideas but these will come about a lot slower than most of the other projects ive done mainly due to lack of time and of course money. All in im very happy with it, good to be back behind the wheel of one again. Jim- aye its Carls one i bought, he sold the recaros to a guy with a mystic storm ( cant remember his name) off the forum. Cheers again Gav

theres a good place donw here mate, think its medway transmissions. ill try get the number for you. Pants has a few boxes at the moment too

aye, i know that road very well, im originally from fraserburgh. Great fun was had over a winter with an old 2.8i capri i bought to commute.

cheers for the info

quality build up , nice one Gav

are you have a poo in your engine bay in the third pic? skat power ahoy me hearty!!!!

Anybody have any experiences? good or bad. What sort of power can they take before going boom. Ive heard theyre pretty unreliable to be honest but never had any first hand experiences. Have they got a sports mode? Can you map them in any way to raise the revs they change up at? Am i talking tosh ? Do penguins have knees?

I know im being lazy but can someone give me the big end toque settings for an abv 2.9 vr Cheers muchly Gav

Right, want to put some faces to names. Who helped M15VW and i fit the beige leather in my red rado vr at e38 2005? Ta muchly Gav
