TOO MUCH :pale:

I seem to remember them being about 50 quid when I bought mine... Now on page 478. anyone fancy a group buy :D

TBH I am really worried about this. I have started her every week for the last 4 months and she runs great but other than moving the wheels a quarter turn to make sure the tires dont break I havnt driven her..... Would be really worried that something will break :(

Just bought a whole new sound system that will involve me taking the interior out. Good idea as that is one of the things that is bugging me. I WILL SORT OUT THE RATTLES I WILL GET THE DRIVERS SEAT REPAIRED I WILL GET ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WORKING AGAIN I WILL RECCONECT THE BOOST GAUGE AND DDI'S I WILL CLEAN THE CARPETS I WILL SORT THE SUNROOF I WILL FEED THE LEATHER Got myself a new mantra..

I know she is not perfect but she is my favorite corrado and hopefully seeing her here will make me get off my butt and get her looking at least halfway as good as this again :luvlove:

Thats exactly where I am am.. Am going to get a few things done on her over the next couple of weeks........... Treat her to a professional valet and pre mot her and see where I am. Then see if I can find some really cheap insurance for the oil burner to use as a daily and see if I can get the insurance down on the C and just use her on sunny days/weekends...

WOULDNT BREAK HER EVER.. Thats one desicion I have made after a few days of wrangling... Just need some motavation. :sleeping:

It really hurts. Took the corrado off the road and put her under a car porch 6 months ago, Stopped coming on here. And havnt picked up a single vw mag as well. Just needed to save some money and stop spending on her. Have been driving around in a M reg Citreon zx volcane deisel that I run on used chip fat. (saving about 120 notes a month on fuel......). :clap: For the first couple of weeks it was really hard, could walk past the c without wishing I was driving her instead. Now I dont even look at her. Did today for the first time in weeks, She is covered in crapo and just looking awful. :help: But I just havnt got the incentive to start working on her again :help: :help: :help: I feel like I have let her down. But so much needs doing. I did say I wouldnt put her back on the road till I could afford to give her paint and sort out all the little niggle things that need doing, Rusty batt tray etc. leather needs looking at. But summers coming and my insurace needs renewing again. What a conundrum. I cant really afford to run 2 cars but dont want to let the c rust away. Couldnt bear to sell her either.................... HELP A confirmed corrado addict...

Bit of a thread revival ere. Does anyone know if these are stll availible and how much? Cheers Tim

Just had to replace my oil pressure sender. The plastic had gone and I was losing about a litre a week through it!!!

I am sure I just saw a Thread on here about a Mk1 1.8 16v for sale. Cheep as chips. If its anything like my mk1 2l 16 cabby ( which si way heavier than a standard ) it must go like fook.

got mine july 2005 with 142000 on the clock now at 179000. oops :grin: I do love driving her though and couldnt get a daily. :nuts:

oh and ive got about 200bhp. Which is boring already.

Cost you a few more quid in fuel as well! :lol: I haven't managed 20k in three years so........ Hey I find 22mpg to be perfectly respectable at the mo. :nuts:

Lovin the rears. How hard were they to get apart. I keey getting green stuff growing in mine and the silver is looking crap. I have done the easy outside bits in black. But was to scared to split the lenses!

Does the 65mm pulley make much diff over the 68mm? And how often do you get the charger rebuilt? t A 65mm doesn't make much more power but you make the maximum boost early on and hold it till 6k it reduces the lag you get below 2500rpm on a standard engine. Rebuild should be every 20k I believe. Bugger that for a lark. Would have to have it rebuilt every 18 months :grin:

Worth every penny. Will be def getting you to do mine next month. A vast improvement on the old one. :clap:
