easypops

The more i think about it, this might be the way to go.......i'll probably nurse it along until i amass all the parts i need and then take a big dose of brave pills and go for it :lol: , luckily i do have a garage and i dont use the car as a daily so can take my time :D

I'd love to take it there mate......its just a wee bit too far away :lol:

That'll be No4 on this then........would it be easy enough just to pop the box off and replace the seal without doing any more major surgery?.......as the clutch is almost brand new and the chains/tensioners were done within the last 20,000

mmmmm, that doesn't sound good........had a new clutch fitted not that long ago.......and certainly no more than 1200 miles ago........will i do it any long term damage by driving it as it is, if thats where the problem is?

Hi , I have had an oil leak for a wee while now and have been trying to see where it was coming from........but it was very dirty/oily underneath so couldn't really pinpoint it..........so i sprayed it with gunk and then powerwashed it and waited for the drip, which didn't come :lol: .........that was saturday and i only drove it again this morning......when i came in tonight i noticed a small drip had formed on what i think is the bit where the clutch goes?......so could this be oil from the gearbox?( i'm guessing not but ??) or is it more likely that the sump gasket is leaking from above and the oil is somehow dripping down, although the gearbox bit seems dry on the outside?. Sorry for the poor terminology :D ........the red arrow on the first pic shows where the oil drip was forming Cheers Martin

You can buy the PCV on its own from ford read this and you'll see mate :D viewtopic.php?f=1&t=71188&hilit=pcv+ford

Cheers to AJ-VR6 , steering wheel arrived, well packed and as described :D

Just what i was wanting to know :D

No need Wendy thanks.......I'll be going home, Glasgow isn't that far away :D , and i dont drink .Then i'll back down early monday or join in the convoy to oban somewhere along the line :D Cheers Martin

I'll be doing my best to be there Sunday 13th.......and maybe the drive to Oban on the 14th :D

I did the step up last summer.......and i have to say that it feels twice the car the valver was.......and i really liked the valver too :D ........oh and the noise is just :luvlove:

Drivers seat sounds in a bad way to be honest........you'd maybe be better splitting it.........ie sell the doorcards, rear bench, then front seats seperate.......as for price :shrug:

Not 100% sure here.......but as far as i'm aware there is no other seat which is a straight swap, i think some golf seats might fit the runners, but sit too high.......so its a fabrication job i think :D

I didn't read it :lol:

As always guys, the search is your friend.............but here you go :D http://wiki.the-corrado.net/tt_seats_fitting.html

Sounds quite like what happened to mine........clutch release fork was on its way out......snapped not long after the same symptoms as yours........new clutch, fork etc.......hope yours is easier than that :D Edit; I firstly changed the slave cylinder.....but that didn't help , so was then off to the garage

I was thinking about this too :tongue: .....they'll look great :notworthy:

Very nice mate :D .......I too am biased though. To be honest i wasn't 100% sure i liked the colour at first (had an aqua blue before), but the twilight violet has really grown on me :D Look here for colour info (must learn to shorten links) viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15949&hilit=what+colour

Happy to help mate :salute: ........i've had loads of help from various people on here, ........i'm never leaving :D

Really sorry to see this mate :(

Nice one Jim :clap: ......get ready to look like this :D

Cheers Joe, How are you mate?........Missing corrado's yet? :D I did take one apart to see how things were held together........and took a lot of pics, mainly to help me when it comes time to put them back together :lol: In the first pic it shows the 2 sliding pins?A + B ........which are different, not that i know why , and i've taken a few pics of the clips which hold the pads in ©..........no sign of the metal clip in 3corsameals pics?.........anyway i have ordered new seals etc so will see how i get on..........i'll need to refurb them now anyway whether they fit or not, still hopeful though :D

Also the clips that hold the pads in dont seem easy to remove.........probably just me though :D

Ok, Had a closer look at the calipers/carriers i have bought.........and they are not the same as yours 3corsameal, They are off a 2003' fabia vrs........any idea if they will fit ? :lol:

Paint looks fantastic......as does the interior.......recaro's= :dance:
