I am also planning to change my cam cover gasket, does anyone have a dummies guide with pics? Thanks

Not sure if this is the right forum.... .....does anyone know where I can buy the little bolts that hold the bottom lip on and a set of screws that hold the headlights to the slam panel as I seem to have misplaced them! Thanks. PS My C is a 95 16V

Cheers guys! Feel so dumn....that cracked it, thanks for all your help! Hopefully get some pics of my C up on the members gallery once she is sorted!

HELP? Does anybody know how to adjust Bonnet pins????????? I have attached a picture, the bit I need to adjust is the spring loaded bit, not the hext nut that sits flat on the bonnet. You can just the threading and a flat bit on the pic. Mine seems to be jammed, any tool I seem to use just slips off. Or is there any way to remove the pin then adjust? Any help greatly appreciated!

Saw C yesterday, at the roundabout off the A5, driving away from the town centre. Not 100% sure about colour think it was dark green or blue. Plate was N*** JAM, think it was supercharged. Got very excited as I don't often see many arround MK!

My C is 95 N reg with 2L 16V engine. Does this make the engine a 9A? I am planning to get a new cambelt plus rollers and all other belts changed within the next few weeks. Are the rollers the tensioners? os is this something additional I need to get done? Thanks

Hi Folks, My C is off the road at the Mo, however when starting the other day, it would not start, battery did not have enough juice. However after jump start all was ok. Did notice that when elctricals were turned on there was a loud squeaking noise coming from arround the alternator. Am I right in thinkning that the alt bearings have had it? Ps The belt does need changing. Sprayed it with WD40 but this made no Diff?

No worries! Yes It is a late bonnet. It bulges out in the middle instead of in.

Hello folks, Basically got a new bonnet for my C (95 2L 16V), due to big dent and crumple in the old one. Before fitting I noticed the replacement bonnet had sponges on the outer edges, where as my old one did not. However my quarter panels do have rubber things on them to line the bonnet. Am I right in thinking I only need one lot of these either on the bonnet or the quarter panels? Also after fitting the bonnet I find the bonnet pins need adjusting as bonnet sits slightly too high at the front (is being pushed up by the bonnet pins). Only problem is I cannot seem to adjust the pins. I can undo the big nut (flat on the bonnet), but that really does nothing, I can see the actual pin has a flat section towards the end and is threaded, but I cannot seem to turn it all! Is there an easy way to remove or adjust the bonnet pins?

Thanks all. Was worried for a minute that something was wrong! :D

Here is a pic, not very clear I'm afraid

Hello again I have just replaced the bonnet on my N reg 16v (Don't ask why long story!!!) I have fitted another late spec bonnet, however I have noticed the bonnet catch is different (which is not a problem). However the prob is the bonnet is too high on one side (it is being pushed up by the spring on the corner catch). I have tried to adjust this but it is stuck solid, is there any way to remove this and then make the adjustment.

No idea, seems a bit big for a abs sensor bracket. it does feel plasctic though.

Hi Folks, I have recently purchased a Corrado 16V, it is 95 on an N plate. Whilst taking a cloer look at her I noticed something strange (well to me anyway!). Whilst looking through the drivers alloy, above the brake disk just behind is a strange horse shoe shaped component (several inches wide and very obvious), what is this?? All help appreciated.
