Has anybody tried insulating the door skins ? Did it make any difference ? I know back in the day Kevin Bacon’s old car was a “demo” car , for in car entertainment (I think) there was insulation everywhere, but it was never as quiet as he wanted
-
No problem with the struts,as the insulation is so light Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

When I didn’t have my parcel shelf in, it seemed really noisy ! I dynamatted the boot area,two carpets, open cell stuck to the underside of parcel shelf, and inside tailgate where I could get it, really made a difference to exhaust and road noises. Also dynamatted under rear seats, rear door panels,a cheaper insulation stuck on rear of A,B&C pillar trims, still not as quiet as I want it,

Good news on the brakes
-
The fault must be in the calipers ! Hard to believe as you’ve changed them [emoji35]

I’ve emailed them asking how much postage to UK, (I’ll post if/when I get a reply)

Vintage rubber in the states are now taking orders for these $300 a pair

I’ve had 3 sets of (new) calipers on mine, they are not as good as people make out ! Get a mate to help, crack the flexi hose half a turn on the offending caliper. Get your mate/help to depress the brake pedal, are you getting fluid ? I know you were with the pressure bleeding, but we need to know, is the cylinder/ABS unit working properly
-
The handbrake mechanism has nothing to do with the hydraulic system ! Try adjusting the “loose” handbrake cable at the handbrake end to make the movement equal
-
Mine would not bleed through the o/s/r, I had to get the abs pump reconditioned, it didn’t show any fault codes either !
-
Sad a car of that pedigree doesn’t get used much,
-
The annoying loose handbrake tunnel cover - a solution!

Message him, he’s sure to get it -
With the multimeter still connected, I unplugged the door actuator, and the drain stopped ! There’s a thread on here by easypop, he had the exact same problem as me, so I followed what he did
-
Mine arrived today, well packaged, lovely bit of kit, Thank you for doing this

I presume you’re not sending out parts until tested ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I tried to talk my body man to weld mine shut ! Looks like I’ll be able to see the sun again

I first saw them here https://www.corradofarmparts.com/. (USA) But they are made here (UK) I saw a write up on Facebook and they are supposed to be high quality parts. I don’t even use my sunroof in case it breaks [emoji22] I did buy indicator and fog light lenses from CFP , plastic,but the indicator lenses are good quality, and they fit really well, I bought the tinted ones
-
https://www.krado.co.uk/ Are doing all those parts, that have been obsolete for years, Stronger then before

My worry is, when electric cars come in,and they will, the price of road tax,or pay per mile will sky rocket, as will fuel, all done to discourage us polluters from the roads. Making our cars nearly worthless [emoji22] The government doesn’t want us to own cars,they want us to lease them, all electric, all self driven, Why ? Leased,means we have a car industry, cars always being renewed The main point,zero road deaths by 2050, a European directive, even though we are out of Europe

Super unleaded is staying the same,well ...for the next five years, So just use that

Just been through another MOT, two advisory’s, Not bad for a 29 year old car with 273k on the clock [emoji41] Dug this out my loft,can’t be many unused spoilers left. Not for sale,as now on my car
-
And they are still made today by custom chrome, you can order any length you want !
-
Luckily there’s someone on farcebook that is rebuilding and selling the spoiler mechanism’s, I asked where he gets the switches from and he posted this You just have to take the levers off. I’ve had them delivered and soon as I get time I’ll do it. I’ll then do a how-to and tag it onto the spoiler build how-to
