Can I just ask about the heater matrix quickly...... Just checked my car again - no windows misted up at all now. Heater comes on nice and hot very quickly. Does that still sound like the matrix? Could it be something to do with having been standing for a month or so? Finally, could it be anything to do with the air-con? I used to have a ford focus (i know, kill me, i was married once!) with air-con and that used to mist up at random times ocassionally... Lol, can't believe the difference between a 1.6 focus and my vr rado!!!

I've just remembered! I got some warranty with it, so if it is the heater matrix he'll have to cough something up towards it! Cool

Just reading some related threads.... Doesn't seem to be any odd smells at all. Just going to check coolant level again. I have to say though - I'm completely smitten after 4 hours! It's staying whatever the problem is! Loved that Rado vs. 325i coupe article - ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh.... Yeah I've heard all about that job! Not a massive problem though - I had 4 grand and so have one left for just such things! And I know a very reasonable mechanic!

Ok, my next worry.... Went back to the car after an hour and the windows were misted up. A leak? I looked at the floor and stuff so I know it's not water coming up through a hole or anything.... Any ideas anyone?

I'm quite shocked at the golf's handling now - almost bloody dangerous in the wrong hands compared to the rado. God they look good from all angles eh!

Oh by the way mate - I think the handbrake is fine - the plastic trim around it is a bit loose, but it seems ok. Thanks for the tips.

Well I picked her up this afternoon! I can't believe how well it handles compared to my golf vr6! Jeez.... I'm in love.

I got the standard ones too. Will go on this afternoon. You're not feeling the knight rider look then? lol

When you get to know me mate you'll realise being pushed into anything isn't an issue! I mean that in the nicest possible, non-violent way! Thanks for replying to my question - it's really good to get others opinions. I reckon it's a good car for the money. Cheers bud.

Picking it up at 4.00 It did look very nice. Mileage seemed to match the wear of the interior - has obviously been well looked after. I bought it as a bit of a risk as I'm no expert. I know the usual VR things to look for as been running the Golf, but don't yet know if Rados have the same issues! Shocks are a bit shot, but that aint the end of the world eh... To be honest, at the price I paid, I'm willing to throw a grand at it to sort out any problems there may be. Ta

Hi, Totally new to this as just registered. Have been running a Golf VR for a year. I'm nervous as I've just bought the Corrado VR6 that was advertised as a 'highline' on ebay! I realise that was an error but the 'changed clock' bit in someone's reply on the thread worries me. It seems to be a very tidy car - history, dry engine bay, chain a wee bit noisey, but interior very nice and not worn Should I worry? I have to say, the guy selling was very nice - he just didn't know the true description. Cheers
