The law of sod strikes again!

Yours has 200 more than mine!

Oh! Interesting!

Another vote for mister auto, I used them for all of my bushings and other consumables needed during my rebuild. Echo the pricing comment too, they were hugely overpriced when it came to clutches!

How about the drivers door mirror mate?

Need an amp really to get the best out of a gamma unit, they only kick out 5w standard! Don't get me wrong, I'm not part of the boot build brigade but 5w doesn't really do it for me :-)

If you get DAB in that part of the world, I'll be impressed, Electricity only came to the area a few years ago

You're more than welcome to mate, I'll help wherever I can. The climate control conversion is fairly easy, that is if you are willing to carry out an engine conversion and it's wiring, then fitting the heater box is the hardest part! The rest is simple. It only becomes a problem when you come to fit the air con side of things. The pipework, condenser and drier along with the pipework will be interesting! The Teves conversion is fairly simple if you have everything else out whilst you are at it. You need to lift up the carpets just to get the old wiring loom out for starters. The dash conversion isn't for the faint hearted!

Pictures of said setup? Where abouts do you live? I'm out in the sticks and not sure what mobile DAB would be like :)

Winner! Glad you found something!

Best money I ever spent on car tools! So useful! Oh btw, I'm in South Central Lincolnshire if anyone needs their cars looking at. Bring it to me and ill scan for free.

A quick look on ebay and there are approximately a gazillion available for under a fiver delivered :-)

EBay is where I got mine. A few years ago now mind but 15 quid or so if memory serves!

What do you do then? Remove the old roof in its entirety and then bond the carbon one in place? Do you loose any strength doing that or does keeping the the structure under the roof skin suffice?

They look like my old wheels!

Had another hour on it today. Managed to find a few tired joints in the wiring loom and now all of my abs faults clear as they should! This only leaves me with needing to sort out the warning light, but not sure which direction to work on, I've got a few plans but need a new plug to actually go into the back of my mk3 warning light and then I need to buy a new nearside front and rear sensor and i'm golden! I do love progress!

Just do it man! Getting it actually fitted minus the aircon isn't all that bad. I need to find a green lit one for my car!

This one

Well Christmas has come and gone (phew!) and I have managed to grab a few hours on the old girl while the weather was nice for a change! Today's problem is the ABS system. I've kind of glossed over the fact that I've fitted a Teves 20 ABS system. For those who don't know about this, the standard Corrado system is a bit basic and has a 3 channel system. IE - there is a channel to control each of the front wheel speeds under braking and the rear wheels are treated as one, so if one of the rear wheels locks up, then both brakes are released to allow grip to return. The TEVES 20 system is from a MK3 GTi or similar aged VW and is 4 channel setup and the pump controls each channel pressure independently and this allows you to junk the rear bias valve near the rear axle. Bonus, seeing as they tend to seize up! Electrically, it virtually plugs straight in electrically. Just a few things to sort out with the Warning lamp. I haven't sorted out the warning light out yet, but I will in time! I plugged in VCDS to see where I stand with faults and ended up having all faults cleared apart from the 4 wheel speed sensors. All four sensors are hard latched on as a fault and won't clear, even with spinning the wheels to reset the logic. Strange thing is when I check the resistance on each of the sensors directly I end up with the following. Rear Right - 1.025 kOhms Rear Left - Open Line Front Right - 1.027 kOhms Front Left - 1.036 kOhms All within the 1 - 1.3 kOhms limits and granted the rear left one is dead but I can't figure out why all four sensors remain hard latched on in VCDS? Looking on the wiring diagram, none of them seem to share a common point in the wiring. I'll have to check the pin outs on the ECU plug to see what resistance (if any) is there. There are also 2 fuses in the system. Not sure if they are important or not but I'll look into the wiring a bit more. For those of you who are going to kill me because I don't have any pictures, here are some! I took the photos late in the day so no apologies for the quality! Generic interior shot of things as they stand. Close up of the climate control And the engine bay as it stands. Still plenty to do!

Where would you actually fit in the mfd? There is hardly any free space?! Or do you mean the sat nav headunit?

It's worth the money for the future proof development alone!

No, Christmas is the time of giving! Give us the venue! :-)

This forum could do with one of those member maps that other forums have. Obviously make it accurate to only town level and not Street level for security purposes.

There seems to be quite a few Corrados in the area, I'm over at Coningsby and there are a few around Peterborough!

I've been looking at these for a few weeks but I just keep finding myself wanting the koni coil overs! Incidentally they are £929 instead of the usual 1100 odd!
