For reasons that will become clear can everyone that is a member please make and effort to attend the AGM. Ant is correct but i would kindly ask that this subject be not debated about on here untill everyone is brought upto speed. please do not start jumping the Gun Etc Etc. Im sure the regional hosts will back me up on this.

Well I got my new tyres this morning after checking my tyres last night and saw canvas!!! :shock: So at 8am this morning i was at the tyre place. Result 2 new Pirelli P6000 total cost wait for it........ drum roll please €120 including fitting. thats £80 ish I bet in the UK i would not have got one for that.

make sure you have a full tank of gas onboard when you get it done. The Last Suspension setting i have are as follows Camber Front Left and Right 1N & 1N Thrust setting front left and right 7 & 7 I can't read the rest of the settings My car is sitting on H+R Lowering Springs and standard shocks Having just looked at the bently manual set setting seem to make no sense to me and are wrong if anything Now i probably wrong here but if you lower the car dont the Setting figures remain the same, you just need to get it adjusted after you've lowered the Car and then a few thousand miles later after its all settled

I got my Air fuel ratio meter today from the states, looks mint anyway As you know it needs to be wired into the o2 sensor. So what i want to know is where can i pick up the wires from the o2 sensor closer to the ECU rather than fitting them under the car at the decat pipe?

there will never be another Corrado, more like a re A3 floor pan with differnet panels hung off it and a new "CORRADO" badge in that new seat style font, and TDI woth two letters in red or something daft. And you can bet the spoiler wont be active

Tyre Weld Great to get you home, Great to mess the inside of your Alloys up!!

I'll personally let you off then.

Black_G60, Cant believe you are still using the OEM charger outlet AKA silencer box!!

under the carpet and through a hole to under the back seat then you can put them in the boot where you like!!

Ideally you need a PC with a video input card in, or a digital video camera with a data cable to send the video digitally. then use something like real producer to compress it.

I ran my rca leads down the center of the car as there is no power cables there at all!!

dont think they will fit as the engine bay spacings are all different. you could use the Parts cat' to compare part numbers and check that way.

that will be a germany job i bet. try the scrap yards

Please Read this thread Also VR6 Bracket that holds the header tank & fan control unit This one is now locked

you could always disconnect the battery and reconnect it after a few hours at midnight, just make sure you have the stereo code etc.

Dont have a VR so someone else bet give you advice on that one. i personally would try changing the water tank cap first, cos the seal may have gone.

you are trying it with something small like a bic biro

you can only do it with the ignition off i think, or was that on.

The Fuel Pump come on, and if you dont start it it should go off again after a few seconds. The VR does have an aux electric water pump and i think that turns on too. And i've moved this thread :lol:

191 121 409 C thats for an early VR dont know if there is any difference MG1 SG2 Illustration 22-50
