dragon green replied to fla's topic in General Car Chat
Had a week in Malta last November, lots of mk1s &mk2s,early Fords and not one Corrado ! i i counted twice ! zero -
went to a different dealer, they said vw uk had 31 in stock ! 58 quid !

thanks but junkie beat you to it

Anybody now the part number ? its an early switch !
-
They told me tonight they where no longer available Have to ring around the stealers
-
The stealers have informed me you cant get the headlight switch anymore ! Is this right ? Are we all relying on secound hand units ? Is there another switch from another model that fits ? Can they be reconditioned ? Cheers
-
If i take out the horn fuse, the lights go out ! could it be a fault with the light switch ? I took the steering wheel off, but it didnt make any difference with the horn disconnected
-
Looms been on about five weeks, started doing this last night are switches still available ?

It would seem that the amplifiers on fuba antenna`s fail regulary, The symptoms i have read about are poor FM reception and almost no AM reception.My amplifier failed, leaving only radio 2, and no AM I have successfully bypassed the amplifier with excellent results, FM reception is probably as good as any radio i have owned,and AM seems very good,although maybe not the best i`ve experienced.I would be curious to know how much is added by the amplifier,but since i bought the car used and the amp was bad when i bought it,I have no way of knowing. The first step is remove the antenna from the car.Remove the plastic trim piece at the rear of the headliner,and then carefully pull the headliner down an inch or two.The antenna is fastened to the roof with a 17mm nut.Unplug the power lead and coax(approx 6inches from base) and unscrew the nut and remove the antenna. The next step is to disassemble the base where the amplifier is located.This is a delicate operation and care must be taken not to destroy the unit.On the bottom of the base are two phillips head screws which fasten an aluminium cap to the bottom of the black plastic base.The problem is that when the base was assembled at the factory it was filled with foam adhesive.This was probably done for two reasons.First to seal the unit from water,and second to provide added strength to the finished assembly.After removing the two screws carefully insert a thin screwdriver blade down the sides of the base cutting away the foam.Work your way around the base until it finally seperates from the aluminum cap The amplifier should remain attached to the aluminum cap.Mine had obviously been wet and had corrosion all over it.Someone skilled in electronics could probably repair the amp,but i elected to rip it off with a pair of pliers. At this point you should have the plastic base, and the aluminum cap with two wires attached,the power lead,and a lead from the coax cable.Pull the power lead out of the cap from the bottom,it no longer serves any purpose.In the bottom(top) of the plastic base you will see a metal "button" which is the bottom of the threaded insert the mast screws into.Take a piece of wire and solder one end to the "button"and the other to the coax cable lead. Now you can reassemble the base and cap using the phillips head screws and put the antenna back on the car. I do think that without the foam adhesive the assembly is not as strong,so i filled the base with agood quality mastic. As a precaution i unscrew the antenna before using a carwash,but i have not had any problems during normal driving Author Steven K Bone Edited by Dragon Green
