Yeah i see that, thing is why would you need lights on when engine isn't running? But i see your point.

I fitted an uprated kit first of all, I gained a bit more light but tbh not as much as i'd prefer, especially living in the countryside with very few street lights so plumped for the HID kit. Best thing i ever did and I wouldn't really be concerned about all the legality surrounding it I've not had any problems in that respect. Just to let you know i got mine of ebay, £80 all in, the full kit. Fitted it, realised I had a shedload of wiring and ripped out the orginal uprated loom and just kit the HIDs and it made no difference. Just a bit more space in the engine bay. So to sum up the loom is all good until you get the HIDs then i'd personally dump it.

Left hand was deemed useless eh? :lol: I'm sayin nothin................................... :shades:

These dials looks boss mate i'm not up to speed with DDI dials where you get them and how much they cost, plus are they a direct replacement for stock dials? ta

i dunno mate but where did you get it? is it the full length one?

took mine out today and i could see anything snapped or anything? I tryed to manually move it up and down i.e the the sunroof sliding, and it was stiff but it worked. Tried it with the motor and nothing Any ideas couldn't identify the water plate thingy Was thinking about just getting a passet sunroof but also having difficulty with that too. cheers

Cool Cheers Tim, Any idea on what prices i'm looking at from the stealers? As detailed above it seems the 'water guide plate' is the most common part needed is this available from the stealers. Also heard theres a sunroof repair kit?? Cheers

Cool, obviously it could be different from roof to roof but what is the most common thing to have gone wrong when it won't slide? It's just so i can get the parts i need, take it out, fix it, and put it back together all in a day. 1.Is this a feasible thing to achieve 2.Wheres the best place to get the parts?, stealers? Cheers

Anyone actually done this yet, as i saw the thread was like a year old nearly now and wondered how successful everyones been with it?

Yeah looks really good that the only thing is its er 'new' and thats the thing i like about the corrado and thats the retro feel to it, when it comes down to it modern cars are all the same really. Sorry. Also £22,000 is a bit dear really isn't it? Moan over

Hi there this sorta happened with me, my indicators weren't flashing and the lights on the dash just stayed on (didn't blink) I thought it may have been whats been suggested above but i tried turning the hazard lights on, which made the indictators works fine, and now they work as normal no problems!!?? Very odd thing but at least they work okay now. :)

Hi there I had this trouble when I first got my C basic set up was boot lock present but no key to lock and seperate passenger and driver keys, passenger would also fit ignition. I just got a replacement lock for the boot (the full lock), with its own key, then had the dealer change the bits on the barrel of the driver's door to accept the passenger (and ignition) key. So I now have one key for front doors and ignition and another for boot. I did ask could they do the boot too but the guy who did the job said he'd never attempted a boot lock before so couldn't guantee satisfacty job. I'm happy with end result anyway. Oh all in it was £30 for dealer's to retumble driver's door. Hope this helps

Cheers I think i'm gonna get my old man to giz a hand as he's a dab hand at woodworking :) I just got myself a set of JBL components and i'm gagging to get these fitted to get the tunes pumping away! I got them for a total of £43 with postage from here http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/produc ... /1167.html if anyone interested.

Hi I really wanna do this, only thing i'm gonna struggle with is creating the hole with the router, did you say you used a jig?, did you create this is was is bought from somewhere? any pics of it?

Hey junkster, Whats that in the fourth and fifth pics mmmmm very interesting

My valver's developed this same fault. Guy I took it to said they develop a fault on the clocks, which would need a new circuit board on to stop the light and buzzer going off. I was just wondering wether a circuit board off a spare set of clocks can be connected to mine? I don't really wanna get another set of clocks as my milage would then be out. Any ideas anyone?

Really looking nice, shows what can be done with time, money and I imagine bags of patience! What did you clean your lights and grill with?

I'd love to do the same to my valver, is there much of a difference between g60 and Vr6 brakes what exactly would I need to get and do? i.e hoses, discs, calipers, pads? is it possile for an a newbie to do at home? Any advice welcome cheers

Would this fit a 1.8i 16V?

Cheers although i've already used that to quite some degree! :D Why do we buy these old cars again??

Right i've finally taken some pics of my car it's nowt spesh at the mo and to honest i'm not doing an awful lot to it really just so it goes and looks nice. I will be refurbing the alloys soon and I wanna try and sort out the damnt sunroof too but I'm a bit short on readies.

Have a look on ebay mate I bought mine off 1989corradog60. He's got loads on there be careful as to which one you go for as I got one that just did dipped or main rather than both, but it still works a treat.

Cheers anyway, just a thought

Hi just wondering if anyone knew where I could get an offical German Dealership Tax disc holder, I seen the german plate holders which I plan to get too but I think a German Dealer Tax disc holder would look great? Any ideas would be greatly recieved. Cheers muchly!

I was very dubious about doing this to my car as normally when I attempt to do any wiring things go very bad, but I must say it worked very well. I bought the cheapo ones too got some xenon bulbs and they work a treat.
