it just closes, and if you keep it pressed it will tilt ;) nice bargain there mate :) I mean if it allows you to try and tilt it while its back so its tilting into the underside of the roof. Seemed to look high up and one side and normal at the other, hence the scrapping on the high up side

Got my first Storm over the weekend too. Took just over 9 hours to drive it home, was 606 miles though ;) Anyone know if these Corrado sunroofs are notorious for playing up, couple I went an viewed had issues. What happens if you were to tilt by mistake while it was slid back, if this possible or would it not let you do that. Was a couple of scratches on roof when it had been catching slightly but when I tried it, it went back fine but wasnt game for closing, it ended up scratching it at one side quite bad, grrrr! Also doesnt seem to start too great, has a weird noise when you start it, anyone got any ideas what this might be.

What did you think of the motor? Did you go an see it? This ones in Suffolk I believe so next door. Did you agree on a price? Are you going for it. Drop a PM if you dont want to put certain stuff on here

Can anyone advise on what a Storm of this description would be worth. 95, N, 155k with FVWSH, pretty much got a full test, only had a couple of owners. Mechanics and electrics are apparently sound, has some stone chipping to bonnet, some small rust patches onrear wheel arches and a scuffed rear bumper. Any ideas on what a fair price for such a Corrado would be, taking into account the high miles. I probably wouldnt do much compared to most people. Any advice welcome. ps, No record of chain being done, is this a problem, should it be recorded in history, apparently its been checked and in good order, does this sound about right (not mechanically minded as probably guessed)

Seriously hacked off lads bigtime! Arranged to go see the car today at 10am, was running slightly behind due to queues in banks, however I had spoke to the women yesterday and she told me she had loads of timewasters and I said I will be there for sure, hopefully 10 but upto 11 at latest. So I set off en route, made a call just to check all is well, women is working and left it in hands off daughter I think and boyfriend. She says someones coming round in 2 minutes, oh great, cheers, thought they would have had decency to tell them to come after 11 since I as travelling 80 miles! So said well I will set off and call me if sold, no call came so kept going, got to the house, knocked on door, said here to see car, ok asked where came from told them. So gave me keys, started having la good look round it, then asked for the paperwork got that, thought would ask what put the other people off... The reply was they made an offer...........right. Do tell me more.........they have left a deposit. So I said I'm wasting my time here aint I, he said yes! Well why the feck not phone me and why bother giving me the keys, give me the paperwork, It might have been an idea to let me know rather than have me extract the information myself. It went for £1300, abolute steal I woud have said, sounded sweet, bodywork had bits but nothing bad, seats had worn well, althought passenger side seat had duff electrics. Sunroof wasnt right either but for £1300! Only thing I thought was strange was when the engine was off but the ignition was turned on, was a noise from under the bonnet, not sure exactly was it was or if this was normal corrado behaviour I'm well hacked off as i'm sure you guys can imagine! Thanks for the input all the same.

Thanks for the responce, I maybe should have mentioned I'm no mechanic. Is there anyway of telling if they chains have been done, will it be in the service book? Whats normally the problem with the ones that handle like pigs, thought they were all superb handling. Cheers

Hi lads, looking to purchase a VR6 and going to view one tomorrow, have always wanted one but just never got round to it. It was a storm I ideally wanted but think it might be a waste as I dont cover that much miles. So what has came up is an 94 L with 148k, apparently book is stamped up to around 110k and the guy has done it himself. Believed to have 4 previous owners, MOT'd MAY 2007. Green in colour with the cream/beige leather. Priced at around £1700 and could maybe pick it up for about £1400 or therabouts. Is this an ok deal and what are things to look out for in Corrados. They said on the phone it has small bits of rust here and there, leather looks a bit worn, expected I suppose and the mechanic said the back brakes are 'pitted' whatever they mean by that. Oh and the sunroof doesnt work, its just a manual one. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
