ahhhhhhhh mate sorry to hear fay did you up the wrong'en by the looks of it she was gentle with you !! :lol: sorry could not help myself there :D bummer man

h7's are the correct fitment

is it under or around the dizzy if so you need a new seal couple of quid from the dealer but will need timeing done after !

like flame yellow :lol:

jim sorry to hear your problems with the engine mate and glad your not gonna break it but remember one thing at least you can still look at your car out of the window mate and be safe in the knowledge you will drive her in all her glory again one day unlike me :( dont worry im over it now really :D :lol: chin up mate it will all be good again soon :D

hey fella liking the low and yella look BUT not sure on the bra mate think you better try my black bra !!!

or you could buy my polished inleft manifold its not like i need it now :( :lol: Could do... why can't you use it?[/quote:pmlx721b] ERM you must be the only person that does not know my corrado had a small problem last week and is now a distant memory mate :( SHE CAUGHT FIRE AND DIED :( viewtopic.php?f=17&t=90805

or you could buy my polished inleft manifold its not like i need it now :( :lol:

im betting the powerstering pump needs adjusting and that should stop the squeek or your aux belts are old and buggered not sure the talk trick works on yours as your aux belts only drive pullys on the inside unlike the vr6 but the engine bay deffo looks better for the bling :D

ok power steering if its noisy do the following jack the front of the car up turn the steering left to right full lock engine off and check the level of the fluid top up if need be now start the engine and turn full lock left and right several times this auto bleeds the system turn off and leave for 20 mins then check again if still noisy steer lock to lock a few times and go for a drive if still noisy and heavy your pump is buggered i found when i replaced the fluid mine was noisy untill i did the above then all of a suden it went quiet and was fine hope this helps

that is odd as i find steering wheels become less grippy when they wear ? try gliptone leather cleaner or even megs APC watered down and then a little leather cream and that should help it

for sure gonna have a long think about the next project

here is the final few seconds b4 the fire brigade put her out she was had been burning for atleast 30 mins :( will upload some pics i got when i got droped home shortly [youtube:2o990fxr] [/youtube:2o990fxr]

to be honest im not sure i could have got the spray from an extinguisher to the fire as it was right behind the dash but your right should of had one and dont have one in the boot keep it in the cabin let that be a lesson to you all out there :D

untill it happens mate you have no idea and to be honest it really has not sunk in untill now especially reading all you kind words all thanks better start looking for a replacement i guess :D

i will post some pics later :( just found out i had £100 cover for personal items in the car :( laptop canon 350 d tripod halfords 150 pcs tools my bloody bmw key and other stuff gone up in smoke as they say :( :( :(

in the phone to the insurance now its through CHRIS KNOTT so i hope they do a good job !!

thanks for the kind words guys gotta say im proper gutted but im ok and like ryan_16v said dash lights flickered then went off then the stero did the same then black smoke started to bello out the dash at the time i was in the outside lane so i managed to pull over onto the grass verge of the M3 grabed my phone and top and bailed and watched her burn it all happened so quick :( :( :( :( :( :(

ha ha the old bend the wiper arm to make the blade touch the window ploy,love it just like i had till i added tt wipers :D

finished fitting an alpine ida x305 head unit with bluetooth hands free unit (just awaiting the imprint sound processor to arrive :D ) and started the leather cleaning process with the gliptone cleaner and cream and gotta say that stuff is very good drivers seat done and treated passenger seat just cleaned

this basicly means the regulators are buggered mate your gonna need new ones have a look for people breaking em on here they are easyenough to replace but you will need to drill and rivit gun :D

not bad for off the top of my head :D
