James.

The first thing I thought of was the plate, but at that price I’d leave it where it is 🫢. Some nice pieces/photos. Do we know what happened to GTI engineering ? Absorbed by another company ? Anyone still about you can reach out to ? Very exciting. It’s like looking for automotive treasure 😎.

Course you will 😉. Hope the return drive goes to plan 🙂

And so another returns… Nice piece of Corrado history you have there. Looking forward to hearing more about it 🙂.

Sure James at Corrado graveyard will have one.

There’s always next Christmas 😉

Merry Christmas everyone Lovely heart felt words Cressa, which I think we can all agree with 🙂. For the last few years it feels like I’ve been set to “lurk only”, but I still think the forum is an under used and sometimes under appreciated space. 2025 will see me saying goodbye to Corrado ownership once and for all (8v and Campaign), but the help and support I’ve been given on here has been on another level. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and wonderful new year.

Had to try really hard not to bid 🫣.

So the interesting news was a for sale ad. Nice one 😴

Hi. No problem, better late than never 😉. So this car tinkering time you speak of, do you have enough to share around ? Looking forward to more updates 🫡

Consider my interest peaked. Where did you get it from ?

Nice 😎

Two steps forward, one step back should have been the Corrado advertising slogan ! I wouldn’t be too quick to assume the ECU. They tend to go bad and not work again, rather than being intermittent. Here is a list of ECU prefix part numbers incase you need a spare, same as before, try swapping an ECU with another owner first. Does the stuttering happen when the car reaches a certain temperature ? Fuelling issue perhaps ?

“This doesn’t sound great” Those immortal words we’ve all spoken many times before. Did you manage to fix it ?

Calling seconds 🙋🏼‍♂️

No Tatton this year. And to be honest I’m not a huge fan of car shows. May try and get to a few further afield next year though, if for no other reason than I sorely need an excuse for leaving the house at times. Yes, car turns over but no start and no rpms. Does give the same symptom of a faulty crank sensor but you won’t hear the fuel pump and/or relay. Check the ecu relay (30). They’re a known weak spot (but I’m sure you know this). Most ECU’s seem to be available except for the very early (dizzy) ones. I even tried to buy another this morning, but the guy had got the pre-fix wrong on the listing 🙁. Was toying with an aftermarket ecu, but that’s for another day now. You haven’t got the parts for o2a to o2j tower/linkage swap have you ? (Seems like I may be better off with this option than a re-build kit).
