Thanks very much guys, ill have a bash at getting it done on saturday. Isnt it just so annoying not having like a haynes manual for the corrado!!

Come on guys has no one replaced a radiator in a G60??

Hello all, Just a quickie (so to speak) can anyone tell me how much of a job it is going to be to replace the rad in my G60. Think i have sprung a leak but its not loosing much water just steams a bit from the rad area even tho cant see where any holes are. Anyone know where to get a cheap rad?? Thanks

Yeah ive not got it either :( after some dicey moments i think it might be a wise investment!!

Yeah a friend of mine has a 330 clubsport and that thing shifts! handling aint too shabby either! :wink:

Ive heard very good things about Eagle F1s, the wet grip is especially good and they look pretty mean too!! :x Apparently they dont wear as fast as the Toyo Proxes but then they do cost more so i guess its a trade off!

Wow, now that is a stunning 'rado! big complements to the owner 8)

Um well when you first get into the car the seats are cold whether heated or not! it takes several minutes before you notice the warmth from below!! But its a nice feeling to have the warm seat and cosy cabin when you look outside at the snow drifts!! :D

I was luck enough to get driven around the 'ring in an ITR and that was an experience i can tell you! The performance was very good when rev'd but the handling was awesome! like no fwd car i have ever been in, would run rings around my G60 and a vr likewise i would imagine! The car was driven by some guy who wasnt the best driver i have ever seen but the car was pretty forgiving and flattered his driving to make him look like a pro! I wouldnt mind owning one but as Ess Three said it would get a bit tiring with the lack of torque and refinement i would think!

I know the feeling, had to get a centre cap for the standard BBS G60 wheel like Jim mentioned, cost me £34 each plus VAT, yes thats £39.95 EACH. :shock: glad it was just the one i needed, not sure if i could stomach £160 for a set of 4 hub caps!!

Sounds like the hole your talking about is the one connecting the oil filler cap lip around the oil filler hole. The lip is the part that the filler cap screws into. When filling the car with oil if your a bad shot and spill any into the lip surrounding the filler hole then it drains out of the hole in question at the front of the rocker cover. If that is the hole your talking about then its nothing to worry about, just mop up the excess so as to not cause a mess under the bonnet! (no-one likes mess!) I dont believe the whole is supposed to have any sort of cover over it. Hope this helps

I have a nasty feeling the 106 GTI would be faster than the 16v rados, my friend had one and boy did that thing shift and handle too!! I think the G60 would be a closer match but as the 106 is made from paper thus weighing nothing its really nippy and just goes! I have no doubt the 60 would be much faster top end, not that anyone drives over 70 anyway! :wink: I would like to see one of those GTIs still performing like the corrados do when they are 12 years old and with serious mileage, i dont think it would happen some how!!

Oh okay, sounds like a new relay is on the cards for me! cheers Henny

I was under the impression that the pre-facelift models didnt have the variable intermittent wipers, im pretty sure my late 91 g60 doesnt. how can you tell if it has it and its not working??

If its not too bad you could try taking out the front pads and putting some copper grease on the areas of the pads that make contact with the caliper (not the disk!!). This helps stop the squeeking noise caused by the vibrations i believe. good luck

Just been driving and heard what sounds like a loose fan belt noise comming from the engine of the c but it only happens when going around right hand bends and especially when the engine is cold?? I thought it might be the powersteering? Could it be just a loose powersteering belt or does it sound like a knackered pump to you guys?? still have PAS tho! Or am i on the wrong train of thought?? Cheers

Only about 100-150 a week at the mo, its a constant battle between trying to keep the mileage down and getting out there and enjoying her!

Cheers for the replys guys, James sprinter - i gave them a ring and they come out more expensive, than my best quote so far from directline. They also didnt offer the dive any car scheme as i was a student! jims16v - I gave esure a call yesterday aswell and they wouldnt quote me not because of my driving record, age, or apparently type of car but becasue i was a student!! I have a funny feeling us students are getting a rought time of it! I really have taken a dislike to those insurance geeks, i have had that drive any car stuff since i was bombing around in my polo coupe when i was 17! :mad:

Please Help! Has anyone under 25 recently re-insured and been able to get the 'drive any car with third party cover, as long as the car does not belong to you' in their policy?? I am looking for this level of cover and being only 21 cant find anyone to do it! Any ideas where i can try guys? tried adrian flux and other large firms but to no avail! Thanks in advance

Its got air con! very nice, i only wish i had it too after a long hot summer with black leather! Sounds sweet mate, nice one - enjoy! :D

i think they have done a good job of making a masculine car look a little camp!! :shock: But each to their own!

Yeah mines about those values aswell, doesnt seem down on power and still makes decent pressure on full boost. Any idea if those figures (84-104) are correct??

Cheers chaps i will give that a try.

I have just noticed that when i turn my headlights on the oil temp readings on the MFA rise by like 10-20 degrees!! then they rise again if i turn the fog lights on! As soon as i turn the lights off the temp returns to the normal readings again!! anyone else experienced this or any ideas as to what is causing it?? Cheers

I get about 23-26 around town but then up to 32 on the motorway, but the MFA always seems to read 2-3 mpg lower than when i get my anorak on and work it out myself!!
