Just spotted on the M42 about a mile and a half from the NEC junction - dark blue Storm, N*** OUU? Presume your going to the Classic Motor Show. PS. I'm not driving :)

Two spots in two days! Purple (Ice violet?!) H-reg, maybe G60, turning off Sinfin Lane in Derby onto Kitchener Lane, about 12.30 yesterday afternoon. Red (very red!), didn't see reg or flavour, on J24 roundabout M1, on the A453 exit from the direction of the airport around 8am this morning.

Not me, but I know the guy that owns it - he works at RR

Give the man a biscuit for he is correct! 8) EF - proud member of the "yes its a 16v" possee

Not me, but I can be found at R-R and I always see that car!!

Dammit, I though that was me for a second! :lol:

Mine does a very similar thing - more of a whine than a whistle but only in reverse. Its always done it and I've never found out why! Sorry, not much helo I know!

Is it this part? This was my accumulator before it was replaced this week... (ignore the blue circle!)

Just got my car back from the garage (new fuel pump, filter, pipes and accumulator, suspension arm, wiper blades and one passed MOT :D ) and after being bereft of my beloved for just a week I was beside myself with excitement when I got it back!! Seriously, like a kid at Christmas! The best bit is when you put your hoof down and find yourself grinning like a mentalist :lol: Anyone else get like this?!

Saw a dark blue valver, G*** WXK, on the A50 from the services before the Donington juntion (1) to the M1/J24 roundabout - it turned down the A453 towards Nottingham. Young chap driving with a female companian in the passenger seat. I was in the Black Mk2 GTI in front of you on the A50 with the dangly exhaust! Managed to get this picture at the lights :D

This thread worries me, my C lew through the first MOT of my ownership last year and now its in again and I. Am. Bricking. It. Although its had some repairs done in the same garage today and when I went in to have a bit of chat with how it was going today, he said what a "solid car" it was so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :lol:

Inky maybe?! Saw a black C, unsure of flavour, on the bypass at Ashby going towards Swadlincote - I flashed but I was in t'other halfs black Mk2 GTI (my C is in bits - boo!)

In need of a bit of a help please ladies and gents! My C has been leaking fuel and we've jacked it up today and found the source, however, need a bit of advice on identifying parts so I can get some replacements. I've attached a couple of photos to try and highlight what I mean! The circle shows where the source of the leak is - should there be any clips on this where the rubber joins the metal? And what is this pipe referred to as so I can get a replacement? Also, what IS that really rusted unit behind the pipe?! In this photo, is the really rusted pipe coming out of the fuel pump? Sorry for all the questions, still a bit of a newb at this mechanical business, would really appreciate any advice on what to replace and how! Thanks! :)

I keep seeing a K reg Blackberry (?), not sure what flavour on the A6 at Kegworth heading towards Loughborough. I flashed yesrterday and then realised I was in the Golf and not my C :lol: Still got a thumbs up!

There's a right old Derby collective on here!

Big chuftie courtesy of Inky - thanks for the note left on my car! Made what was turning out to be a crap day into a much better one! :clap:

This probably won't help your issue, but our Mk2 GTI runs like a bag of spanners after getting very damp for about the first 5 minutes. Also, my Valver doesn't always start first time if its been raining or its got damp, so if anyone knows the answer to your question it might help figuring out whats up with mine.

Black (I think) unsure of flavour, coming off the roundabout at the back of Ashby, heading towards Swadlincote / Woodville. My window was open so I waved 8) Was just coming back from a session at the dryslope where I managed to destroy myself. Epic fail.

Two Corrados spotted on my Leicester to Norwich drive today. First was a dark green, unsure of flavour, M reg, just west of Wisbech. Second was about 50 miles later going East, J reg, again not sure of flavour. We were in a Mk2 black GTI.

C'mon then, who drives the red 'Rado I saw leaving the R-R site in Derby about 7pm this evening?! Thank you for returning my wave :clap:

Spotted today - dark blue C, K reg, seen on J24 roundabout on the M1 just joining the M1 south (I was in the Black C coming onto the roundabout from the A6 from Kegworth direction.

A dark blue valver (i think) M reg, parked at London Gateway services northbound yesterday about 6ish - young chap driving with a female passenger. Whoever it was I parked one row behind you!

Woo hoo! Two spots today! First one was burgundy M reg, not sure what flavour, maybe pressed plates and crystals (?) A6 Kegworth, just coming off the J23 roundybout. Got a enthusiastic wave which I duefully returned :clap: Second, RR carpark Victory Road, Derby, J reg, again not sure what flavour, red, veh veh shiny!! Maybe on 15" BBS'? Would love to know whos this is - there seems to be a growing contingent of RR Corrado owners, need a lunch time meet!

My boyfriend had the same issue on his Mk2 GTI - I'll ask him how he fixed it and get back to you.
