  1. Anyone got any idea where to get a new radiator from for my 95 VR6? Does it have to be an alloy job from Eastern Europe now? Do any of you have experience of these re. fit & quality if that's my only option?
  2. I love my golf but it's very raw & stupidly quick, have tried to sell it but everytime I have a blast in it I'm reminded how much fun it is, it scares the other half though so the corrado is a compromise that she's happy to be passenger in 😂 re. the subscription, I get the subscriptions thing too when I click on the 3 lines top r.h. but when I click it I get an error page EXO code or something saying page doesn't exist, would be great if someone could fix it 🤷‍♂️
  3. Been away for years due to concentrating on mk2 golfs but although I've currently got an r32 mk2 golf I had to have another corrado so bought myself a storm a few months ago, not a big fan of social media in general but always loved the forums, was chuffed to see it still alive & kicking albeit not so busy, can't seem to work out how to subscribe mind you which I'd gladly do if someone could help me.

  8. Hey Kempy, how do you get the screenshots from ps3 to pc mate?.......sorry if its a dumb question but only had the ps3 a couple of weeks :shrug: Would love to get a few shots of my lotus yellow veyron up with some airbrake/spoiler action....kept me entertained for hours watching my B-spec driver fly round in it.
  9. Ive been hammering this myself over the past few nights, level 20 in A-spec & 14 in B-spec. now & Ive just got my hands on the Pagani Zonda R & the Veyron so now the fun can really begin :afro: Im toiling now with the wet weather challenges, need to keep it on the track but with enough pace & my style would be seen as a bit "Mcrae" :eek: :D
  10. Just bought a ps3 & a new telly to play gt5 on.......only get peace to play in the wee small hours so have only managed to get to level 17 so far heres my "racing rig" again feel free to add me on psn....GASCO313 :wave:
  11. Didnt know that mate :notworthy: Every days a school day :D 8) I was a spotty teenager in the 80s though & had err..other things on my mind :lol:
  12. Sure I read the other day that F1 cars engines are going down from 2.4ltr to 1.6ltr turbo :shock: in 2012 so you must be able to achieve some power with the right turbo etc. Sounds crazy though to think an F1 car running with a paltry 1.6 :cuckoo:
  13. After recently changing the engine in my valver Im after a bit of confirmation Ive got the vacuum hoses "plumbed up" correctly, car runs fine but Id like to be 100% sure theyre right, I think there used to be a sticker on mk2 golfs that showed you where they went but the rado doesnt have one :shrug: The car in question is a 1990 with a KR engine Actual pictures would be most helpful but a diagram or a good description will do cheers
  14. More than likely the oil pressure sensor switch is knackered mate although the 1.8t engine does suffer from sludge/carbon fouling up the oil pick up strainer so this is also a possibility, I would change the switch 1st though, theyre not expensive
  15. Is that like the twilight zone? I feel the same way... nearest C according to the map is Glasgow! err cough cough :scratch: I only have the 2 rados too :lol:
  16. Corrado belts with original tt clips on the seats bud
  17. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Didnt know there was a wiki for them boll**** :cuckoo: Not sure I want to look now as it took me a wee while to fit mine the way I did :epicfail: Yep height adjusters are down :wink:
  18. Yep Im not for a minute suggesting the seats wont fit in the car in such a way a tall person could use them, just that the way I fitted them they wouldnt be ideal, my head nearly touches the roof & Im only 5ft9"
  19. YOu had your carr in the Mitchelston insdustrial estate in Kirckkaldy by any chance? Weve already spoke about this dude :) I went to see the guy in the garage about the black one to see if it was breaking & got short shrift from him, I am in mitchelston quite a lot in my VR though(aqua) as a mate has a garage there & andersons engineering skim my heads etc. for me
  20. Well I was supposed to be working today but the job was cancelled so I tinkered with the rado instead. Picked up a pair of audi tt mk1 front seats for the car during the week as the previous owner wanted to keep his seats as they were "recaros", they werent in fact recaros just a standard early model seat with a "recaro" badge stuck on em :lol: So although my tt seats were previously fitted in a mk2 golf I wasnt keen on the setup for fitting as it involved cutting off the o.e. metal triangles where the standard seats attatch @ the front & welding or bolting a bit of angle bracketry in which I wasnt keen on doing as I might want to change the seats again or go back to o.e. seats. So, I ended up getting the grinder & welder out & modded the original tt runners so that the bottom of them ended up flat @ the front & rear enabling me to bolt a bit of flat bar across the bottom of them @ the front & rear, then I chopped off the slider part off of an old mk1gti seat I had in the loft & welded a piece of this to the flat bar I bolted to the tt runner so the front of the seat mounts in an o.e. fashion :clap: I couldnt make my mind up how to do the rear & in the end I did it the easy way, the flat bar thats bolted to the rear of the tt runner was just long enough to sit either in the original runner or on top of it, now, my mrs is only 5ft tall so bearing this in mind I plumped for welding the flat bar to the top of the corrado runner which of course raises the rear of the seat by an inch or two which is perfect for her & seeing as I still have all the adjustments from the original tt runners its worked out fine for me too :grin: They wont be suitable mounted this way if your taller than 6ft or if youve got long legs but they work for us..... Next up was to get rid of the hideous yellow tinted rear lights & replace them with clear ones Then after fixing the front grill I stuck that back on too(broke it due to disconnected bonnet cable :censored: ) Really need rims now as you can see, was surprised to find 14" RAs fitted no problem too but I think a set of 15s or 16s will be needed Still to find an indicator lense, set of rims & a rear bench of some sort, selling my VR now & either gonna run this as a daily or get an oil burner & use this as the toy Plenty more to come as I do it.........
  21. Excellent Oz glad its finally working good for you 8) Will be in touch regards indicators etc. could do with getting your 9A out the way now as Ive got a full ABF lying along with the gearbox too :cuckoo: Few niggles with the car namely no temp guage & the indicators wont work, can anyone tell me what wire does what as far as the temp sensors on the side of the head go? theres 3 wires as follows 1.single red wire with yellow trace 2.single blue wire with white trace 3.single green wire red trace what I could do with knowing is what wire provides what signal to where? I know 1 is for the temp guage & another is for cold start, unsure of the others function Car runs fine & starts from cold well too, rad fan, switch etc. all working as it should but no temp on dash even after swapping the wires all about :shrug: Next up the indicators wont work & the dash light for them is on permanently once the ignition is switched on, hazards work fine so no fault with the flasher, pretty sure Ive had this fault before on a mk2 golf but cant for the life of me remember what causes it, anyone able to shed some light? Lastly I could do with a diagram of the vacuum hoses for the KR engine in the rado as Im nos sure mines are plumbed up correctly, car runs fine as stated but I would just like to be sure.
