Bally

lovely corrado... 8)

5yrs this september...

Ive been running falkens for years... touch wood not had any dramas...

Easy B.. long time no speak.. wow thats very very impressive power figure.. will have to meetup! need to ring you when I get sometime, as Im after couple bits.. you going pod sunday?

you'll have to run a smaller blade.. centre wiper hole aint in the centre of screen, its off centred slightly... you'll find on the passenger side its fine...

Evening Alex... oohhhh sounds nice... cant wait to see the lump in the passat.. harms was telling me abt it... be nice to see the J RAN oneday.. congrats on the new buy... looks like we'll be seeing you more on here :D

Bally,what colour are the RC's? thanks all... Hi mate, they were done as a oneoff by Dav @ pureklas... give him a shout.. :D

Welcome to the forum.. I ran myn as low as it would go on FK coilies running 205/40/17 rubber, 7.5x17's with 10mm FK spacers front & 15mm on the rear but all the arches are rolled... couple of pics of my corrado to give you an idea.. before respray & with 5mm spacers allround

jack the car up & spin the wheel.. then hold the wheel with both hands & rock it side to side to see if theres any play.. check the wishbones etc & bushes.. ive had a bearing collapse made funny noises & when we took it apart the bearing fell to peices... get it sorted asap.. im thinking the bearings died...

tell em abt it.. march has been a very expensive month.. things I'd planned for been delayed with stupied things going wrong which cost silly money... my advise, corrados look smart but a right pain in the arse :roll:

Morning peeps well fitted the new cable y'day... big thanks to bill for his help & using his corrado to compare.. all greased up working ok... drivers side needs a abit of a tweak... but nice to have it all working again.. :D

:shades:

Hello Alex, you still got harms passat?? be good to see you back in a rado.. what ever happened to yr old one?

Ive got all the clips etc & cable & handle too... peeps, any tips as to fitting replacement??

velcro works fine for me....

Thanks all, after using a crow bar I got the bonnet open :D no panels damged.. grills broke though... that rod section was really really stiff to push... its opens one side & the cables still attached to the other side.. Ive got all the replacements bits on the way.. going to to be fun trying to fit the new one!!!

looking good fella :D

ok mate, I'll give that a go... thanks

ok guys, before it started raining this evening I had another go.. I cant seem to move the spring behind the headlight... its obvious the drivers side cable is totally broken as I cant pop the passenger side with the cable but drivers side tge cables snapped off & not attached.. tried a screwdriver as metioned in another thread & cant seem to get it to move.. I must be doing something wrong.. the rain got worth so I gaveup for tonite... seen this pic.. is the hightlighted area in the pic what Im meant to be twisting??

Orange is mad... :D thanks bro... its been a long project.... had it painted couple years ago.. rims etc are being changed... glad you like it.. whats the plans with yrs apart from the khalsa coloured bay :grin:

easy bro... looks sick.. you got it all sorted now??

When you bought a new cable did you get the metal clip that holds the outer cable rigid to the inside of the car while you pull the inner one? (if that makes sense lol) As this has broke on mine and when i went to vw to buy one i was told they were discontinued, i didnt want to pay 25 quid for a new cable to find that the clip didnt come with it :confused4: DANG60, Yeah, the metal clip comes with the cable. I didn't actually need it so should have the new one knocking around? Drop me a PM & I'll see if I can find it for ya. Bally. If you can take your grill out with the bonnet shut then you can get to the release spring behind the headlight. I used a strong, long piece of metal to hook the spring. You'll probably need to stick a light underneath the car to shine upwards. Drop me a PM if you want some more specific advice on this & I'll see if I can get you some pics. Evening.. thats the problem, the grills fixed down by couple of screws at the top (reiger grill)... we did manage to lift the bottom two lugs of the grill & lift & bend it up so you can get behind it just abt.. gona need another grill its runied now..:cry: thnaks for the tip & reply, we'll try that on the wkend as I dont get time during the wk.. fingers crossed everythings ok under the bonnets ok til then!! hopefully I'll have a new cable etc by the wkend to replace the old one with... feel free to PM me some extra tips.. thanks again all....

nice...
