Ok.... managed to get the alarm problem sorted - everything is working fine, but now the head light switch is heating up alot.... I think this may have been what caused the original problem.... Has anyone ever had this happen before?? could it just be a faulty switch or something more serious? -

Hi Everyone, I'm new here - I hope someone can help me! - I've searched the site and still not got anywhere....
I've got a vr6 with a standard alarm which had a fuse removed from it to stop it working about a year ago. The problem started when I jumped in my car to go to work this morning and there was a spark behind the headlight switch and smoke started pouring out> I turned off the ignition, the smoke stopped. Removing the headlight switch I discovered the brown wire on the left had melted all the way back to the fuse box. I have removed this wire - the smoking has stopped, - but the alarm keeps activating and the car won't start!!! & the fob doesn't work!!How do I stop it - I don't want the alarm working, I just need the car to start.. Is it something to do with the melted wire???

Hi, first of all I'd just like to thank everyone on the forum. Although I've never really posted the information I have gained about corrados has been invaluable!
Right I'd thought I'd share my suspension story. After lots of research and advice from fellow corrado owners I decided to go to the Phirm who were very good and recommenced g-max suspension kit with powerflex bushes. I was very impressed and the car feels completely different. In my opinion although only a budget kit it improves the handling and looks massively and is just the right hardness!, however I couldn't recommend this suspension to anyone. February, yes seven months after it was installed both rear shocks are completely blown and the car is off the road! I told The Phirm almost two months ago. I phone them every week. The Phirm says - "we are waiting for parts g-max keeps delaying" G-max says "we have them in stock for next day delivery". Which leaves me with an underivable car that I use everyday! so i am now having to hire a car.
So in summary the set up is good, just hope it doesn't go wrong!
