Hi they are indeed repair panels and not trim parts. Stonejag I will PM you re your e-mail adress and I can send you pictures - part No.s are still on the labels attached to the parts.

sorry they are in black primer

Hi, i have had someone local to me who may well take them, but will let you know if they don't and they are still for sale. Not sure but the alarm sensor holes - but suspect they are - easy enough to check. They could be couried as opposed to posted - they are large.

Hi I have both the off and near side genuine VW A Pillar panels. They incorporate the sill immediately below the A pillar as well as the edge of the windscreen and edge of the roof. I bought these aorund 4 years ago for a previous project. will attempt to post some pictures - otherwise PM me and I will happily e-mail pictures. Looking for £100 for the pair - happy to sell them separately. Collection only would be best - but happy to look at other options. Based in Warwickshire not far off the M40/M42

i know them, they did a repair for me a few years back on our Audi. They made a nice job, easy to deal with. Had my raddo's done by Archie Dewar @ Peat Inn, was always pleased with his work, just took ages ! I will look forward to the pics.

Hi Bill, change of colour ? who have you got to do the work ?

Well done Bill ! i am bit too far away now to see you driving around in this one. Sounds like the run home was good.

i know the feeling - its been 8 months now - its sad - i get excited when i see one now !

you can certainly take better pictures than me Joss ! Sunroof sounds a bit odd -never done that before. Have you checked the plug into the light/sunroof switch unit hasn't come undone. It had it disconnected when i replaced the headlining not long before it was laid up - maybe its come loose ? let me know if you get it to Bigger. cheers steve

looking good Joss, but then I would be biased !! Missing it now I have seen it again. Sorry that there seems to be some issues with the brakes, but as you said, would be a surprise if there wasn't something after it been laid up for the last 6-7 months. I will watch with interest. cheers steve

maybe that's why I would rather have the TT as my circumstances have changed and am having to sell my corrado - not to worried about practicality as it will be a second car so size not really imrportant. If I go for the TT was thinking of a 225 c.f 3.2 - what did you have ? could pick up a higher mileage one for not too much - anything specific to look out for in your experience ? cheers

Will be looking to get a new daily hopefully at some point in the near future. thinking about a Mk1 TT, mk 4 R32 or Mk 5 GTI . my preference would be the TT. any thoughts / input appreciated cheers

With our move South in a weeks time, and with the raddo unsold ( i am pleased about this - just dont tell the other half !) my parents have let me store her in their garage up North over the winter, until i hopefully get somewhere sorted for her at our new abode. I may still end up selling but we will see. Anyway had a great run on North on Monday. I wanted to see the sunrise in Drumochater pass as it is has always been one of my favourite drives particularly in the winter (guess i wont be seeing it again for a while). anyway thought i would take a pic - ~ 7.30am - stopped for a bit to let the washers defrost. car ran great. got a nice wash, dry and wax when we got there and got her tucked away. Just glad I had one last good blast in case she ends up going.

Hi I did get this sorted. The ECU was knackered. replaced it with a used one and problem solved. In fact it was running better than it had been - much smoother through the rev range.

anyone ?? please ......

cheers guys, yeah 109 is the ecu relay and 67 is fuel pump not sure what 53 is. we did try to vagcom, but the soft ware on the computer wasnt working - so we will have a retry on thursday. nightmare !

Now I have done a search, and turned some things up, but not really what the car seems to be doing. switch on the ignition and staright away there is a random realy clicking in the fuse box and clicking form the engine bay, the rev counter needle flicks up and down. it can stay like this but can eventually stop. the engine turns over fine but it wont start, it will however pop a bit and it blew the palstic black box off / up off the back ISV. Its fueling and has a spark. When the ignition is switched on you can hear the fuel pump prime, occasionally it alternates between priming and stop the prime again - sounds like a buzz - quiet - buzz -quiet - buzz - quiet & occassionally the pump just stays on. have chnaged both relays 109 & 67 and made no diff, although the random clicking when the ignition is switched on stops if you pull out relay 109. relay 53 is also clicking away but not sure what this one does. it also stops when 109 pulled. anyone got any thoughts ? moving house in 4 weeks and I need to get it out of my garage cheers steve

good work Lee :salute: , you dont hang about !! hope the radiator was ok. looks like it has been looked after at some point in its life. My early KR was a much better drive cf with my 9A. got the VR insured today so will be having a blast in it until its sold. should be up for sale from next week. Maybe I should listen to you and just keep it for my daily ! oh, i found and old handbrake lever handle if you want it, seeing as the pup enjoyed the last one. let me know if you want it & i will take a run over with it. cheers steve

looks really nice, great job :salute:

managed to change the oil filter on the VR ...... whoever put the plastic bit on the filter housing must have been crazy.. it wouldnt budge, cracked the nut portion on the bottom. had to drill a hole in it, insert screwdriver to undo, but not until i bent one screwdriver and broke another !!

RW1, many thanks for that. It makes for interesting reading.

coming on nicely. Glad you got some wings for it. Going on my experience it is difficult to get a good painter, glad you have got someone good.

This is why you gotta love this forum :D cheers for that RW1. With regards concours judging, is there a list of specific things looked for or is it just split into the catagories of exterior, interior etc ? Just interested in how things are scored. I know this will be in the wrong section :nono: but any idea of what the period radio would be in an 93 L raddo ?

i did wonder that, as I remember seeing them as black on one at a show recently. Guess we need the one of the concours guys/girls to let us know !

cheers :salute: thats something else to add to the v. long list !
