Hi all, Took the corrado in for it MOT and it has failed miserably. Basically going to cost around £500 to put right, needs welding, new silencer, suspension bushes, handbrake cable, 2 new tyres, track rod ends. And thats all I can remember off the sheet. I dont have the cash to sort it being xmas time so I reckon I should sell it. Its a 1.8 16v H reg, 130k miles, in white, and the body is fine in someplaces but not great in others. Any ideas what I should fetch for it without MOT or tax? Cheers.

Hi all, Been having a bit of a nightmare with the car recently, accelerator cable snapped recently and the drivers side door was not opening. All of that has been sorted, but I now have a new problem. The car seems to be lacking in power, mainly from idle upto about 3k rpm. Also very noticeable up hills as well. But there seems to be no problems with power when above 3k rpm! Have recently discovered that one of the earth straps from around the coil area was snapped, I replaced this which seemed to help with starting issues. I also changed the HT lead from the coil to the distributor as i was getting an intermittent spark from the coil. The exhaust has also just developed a crack just before the back box Any ideas what could be causing this? Thanks
