So, it was a nice day yesterday and as I got the latest VR6 home(had it in the work car park since collecting it as I had to get rid of a breaker to move this in :lol:) Out with this In with this This is the latest one myself and another Corrado lunatic(Goldie)have halved in for, fingers crossed it can be saved but it'll need a good look underneath to make sure it's not a sieve. Anyway, we bought it with a hot start issue which the seller confirmed was fuel related......I wonder what could be the issue? Mmmm, maybe this comedy fuel pressure regulator? :lol: Also this is fitted but not likely to be an issue but both are leaving ASAP anyway Got the FPR off yesterday but as soon as I connected the battery the alarm was going off constantly, and it's very loud, so had to be happy with the fact it fired up. Next thing I'll do is disable the siren/find out the alarm issue. And as its a Corrado it wasn't letting me away lightly as the Z end of the bonnet release cable snapped off :lol: It's off!

Quick healing knuckles :lol:

Welcome along, seems corrados are well priced where you are

Thank you mate, it's a great forum, very friendly and full of very knowledgable people(I don't include myself as one of them :) )

No worries mate, your seat is looking great(saw it on FB) , I've just had no time to do any more yet......need to re glue the door card leather too before I can do them

Might be best to put your location down as its not really courier friendly :)

This bit ok? Chopped it out of breaker no1 earlier

Cool, I'll have that then mate please :)

How much is the puller Chris? :)

:lol:

Here you go mate, I chose this for the(hopeful)ease of it to use plus it's an apply and forget as no sealant is required. I'm happy with the results so far but I'm only going over the top of the same colour. I might have went for the furniture clinic stuff if I wanted to change colour. You'll need leather cleaner and conditioner plus a solvent to follow instructions on this one. I bought 1litre http://www.liquidleather.com/en/scuffmaster-dyes/61-scuffmaster-dye-for-leather.html#/size-1_litre You'll need to find/choose your colour as well, the one I got was VW Corrado 95 beige

You are not wrong there mate, time for some spring cleaning I think :)

The one on the left is as yet untouched, the one on the right is dyed, photo doesn't show too much difference but in the flesh you can see how much nicer it's going to be (eventually) :)

Another small update, I decided to go for the gliptone leather dye.....for the Storm, thought its best to say that as this thread has way too many Corrado's in it :lol: Reason for re dying the leather is that it is tired and slightly discoloured, ie the sides of the seats don't quite match the middle sections, it might just be the way it is but I'd quite like it uniform. Tried out the dye on a rear bottom section, photo/light poor but after a couple of coats it's looking not too bad at all :)

Very nice indeed, great attention to detail. I can only dream about getting to do these kind of finishing touches 8)

That was over 4 years ago he was looking, doesn't mean he isn't still wanting them but you'd be best putting up a for sale ad

Have a look here mate, about half way down the first post, past the electrical info there is a title about coolant http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?38925-The-definitive-VR6-cooling-guide

Me please Tom :)

Good find that, how much did you pay?

I killed the ignition switch on my first Corrado while fitting a new radio,I also thought I'd killed the radio but once the ignition switch was diagnosed and replaced(garage) the radio worked fine. Can't remember which wires I crossed as I was less prepared to get stuck in then

Here you go, a couple of pictures of the relays in situ Looks like the wire does indeed travel over the air ducting, not behind it

I'll take a picture in a minute, still out in the garage anyway :lol: The relay holders sit in the extrusions you see above the plastic.....this is on the breaker and is why it's a mess.....if you need to see them in place I can sort a pic out tomorrow , it's a bit late for removing car covers etc at this time, not forgetting to mention its Baltic outside :lol:

Had a couple of Toad Ai606's as well and never any problems, will be getting one on the storm in due course :)

I've a wanted ad up at the moment http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?93801-Brake-compensator-Spring Is it this? I'd love to buy your spare if it is :) PM sent
