I might have one from when i fixed my heater controls......i'll have a look tomorrow :D

The search is your best bet mate viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3720&hilit=resistor viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6805&hilit=resistor etc etc :D

I cut the writing off with a very sharp/flat blade and smoothed with some fine wet&dry.........only did this as i remember that being the advise when i did my rears :D

Nice one :D .........weird one with the alarm though :shrug: .........come to think about it, on an old car of mine the alarm fob used to unlock a friends neighbours car???........Did you have the toad fitted recently?.....My alarm went off at midnight 2 nights ago and i was downstairs like a man possessed, nothing there and no-one about.......didn't stop me staying up another hour keeping watch :lol: Anyway, really pleased you have it back :D

I have never followed the cable , so not sure where it goes to, but as far as i'm aware it is very similar at both ends........its just a bowden cable, basically a thin wire in a sleeve, very similar to a brake cable on a bike, so if its not sliding through then its probably an issue at the other end?........i dont think its that long either so probably connects somewhere central behind the dash..........dont quote me on that though.......i'm sure someone with better knowledge will come in with better answers :D

WOW.....Thats what i have on mine......and i'm guessing a few others will too.......gutted for you mate...... :bad-words:

Dirty B******s........i'll keep my eyes peeled :mad2:

I have this old screenshot of the 9a timing from when i had autodata up and running.......it is a 9a yours isn't it? :D

You already know :lol:

The search is where you'll find all the answers you are looking for........both subjects covered many many times :D Have a look here http://wiki.the-corrado.net/late_heater ... epair.html and here http://wiki.the-corrado.net/illuminated ... trols.html Both items are in the knowledge base And your direction control might be a simple fix.......there is a metal clip that goes between the direction and the heat dials, which has been known to slip and jam :shrug:

Best to look through the members gallery mate.......loads of pictures of loads of wheels :D viewforum.php?f=11

I changed mine recently for the ones from a passat........its got to be a certain age though as i think they have a couple of different ones........i tried using one from a similar age vento but it looked wrong when compared to the original.......where as the passat one was almost identical.....there is a guide in the knowledge base http://wiki.the-corrado.net/late_heater ... epair.html I found the hardest bit the clips which hold the 3 bowden cables in place.....they are a real hassle as you have little room to work.....so it scraped knuckle time and lots of swearing.........a plus point i found was that the clips on the passat were slightly smaller and easier to remove/put on, and the 'spider' which is green on the original was white on the passat which means it is now lit better . 1 Pop the front facing off 2 Remove the 4 screws, 1 at each corner 3 Remove cd player and cage 4 Unclip the cables and remove :lol: There is always a chance that the metal clip that sits between the direction and heat control has slipped off and is jamming things??? Good Luck :salute:

Got mine too mate.......not done them yet.......weekend hopefully . Thanks for doing all this :cheers:

Green Storm this morning on Woodlands Rd.......had a bike on the back.......looked as if he was going into 'Deuschtek', garage beside sainsburys

Here is mine with Gunsmoke on all the fronts 8)

Red one let me out on the M8 earlier this evening on the Kingston bridge(cheers m8).......reg looked like DESPOT ? :D

I had it on my old pc.....and found it very informative.......pity the cd has a big scratch and wont load on my new comp.........it would be very nice if 'someone' was to offer to send me a fresh copy :norty: :wave: :lol: as i have a key to activate it(legit btw)

:lol:

Paid and PM'D :D

Yes and Yes It could be sticking and its easy to remove , replace. Undo the 2 pipes front and back and take off the electrical plug, and i think it just sits inside a rubber ring thing and just slides out.......its really easy , you see when you start.........once off spray brake cleaner into it and give it a good shake and you'll see black stuff coming out.........when i did mine on my old valver i filled it up , clingfilmed it and left it over night........then tale a thin screwdriver and make sure the sprung plunger inside moves freely.......add a couple of drops of oil to lubricate(i used 3in1)......and refit.......job done :D

I would check the condition of the wiring going to the switches on the TB.......they can be broken inside and the cover still intact

And it always lands on the mirror and window switches :lol:

Make your own ? :D viewtopic.php?f=19&t=87813

Thought i better update this as not done so for ages.......since the last update i have needed to have a few things done Full set of discs and pads all round, New clutch, clutch release fork. That was it for a wee while, then noticed an oil leak at the front.......turned out to be the oil pressure switch, that easy a job i did it myself :lol: Then the exhaust started blowing ......it was a Stainless Steel cat back system which had been fitted almost 5years ago by C&C Custom Exhausts in Hillington, Glasgow......which is only 10 mins drive from me, so i went there armed with the receipt (Thanks again Joe) to see what they would say, and i have to say what nice helpful guys they were, not only were they happy to sort it, they basically renewed the lot barring the back box, all for no charge.......lifetime guarantee indeed :clap: :notworthy: Still to get the bodywork issues fixed, but that'll get done eventually.........with the 'new' exhaust it now starts , idles and revs better........and it wasn't that bad before :D Also fitted the Gunsmoke Light tints bought from Riley(cheers mate)

Fitted the Gunsmoke tints i recently ordered from Riley, i think they look 8)
