I used the Liquid Moly Sunroof Grease David and it works fine, sounds like you were just unlucky with the motor? Ian.

Harewood house club stand ???
GlosterOx replied to sexybourbon's topic in Event Announcements & Discussion
There is nothing in the events section of the CCGB, so I would suggest not? Ian. -
Are you coming to RIAT David, can always pop one in the boot for you? Ian.
-
I bave a couple of spare motors if you want to try one, only over in Gloucester (but in Cardiff until late AM). Ian.
-
Yes, it is Daren's: http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?89690-Diamond-Black-Vr-first-show-! ian.

Topran is very hit and miss, I have used Lemforder in the past (OE supplier) and found them to be fine. Ian.
-
I've just stripped another set down Jamie for refurbishment, which Matt59876 has 1st dibs on - Should be ready in a week or so. Am awaiting on the return of another set then, so small delay but can definitely sort you out if that's OK. Will PM you in due course. Ian.

No you're not, I'm a fan of his too! Ian.

Perhaps it is running on 4 cylinders instead of 6 to only make 140bhp? Ian.

Corrado vr6 Storm full restoration project
GlosterOx replied to Blademan72's topic in General Car Chat
To the best of my knowledge the whole sunroof "cassette" is interchangeable (8 or 10 bolts from memory) and then just swop the glass for your metal panel - If it's available at the breakers I would grab the motor as well, as they have a habit of giving up the ghost! Ian. -

The MK3 Glass panel is the wrong curvature, however you can swop your current metal panel over to the complete Golf assy and it will fit. Ian. -
There should also be a spring steel circlip that holds on the rubber boot. Ian.

I've got a B4 Passat Estate (mid 90's) in mine and the fit is good, you are right though the curvature is completely wrong on the MK3 Golf. Believe Seat Ibiza/Toledo of the same era will fit. Currently investigating also the early Octavia, but have my doubts. Pic of mine when initially fitted:
-
Yes,just the dipped beam. Ian.
-
I used Osram Night Breakers with my uprated loom (about £12.00 from Amazon) and they are really good now. Ian.
-
Result, well done Ben! Ian.
-
Not a problem, just sorry it dragged on a bit - How did it feel on the test drive? (Stance looks good in the pic by the way!). Ian.
-
Glad you got it sorted Mat! Ian.

The Oval Head Screw (N0139612) is 3.9 x 13 plus also need the Washer (411945279) according to Vagcat. Ian.
-
There are 2 types of Grille, one with all all slats open and the other with just the top one open (suggested it might be for "cold" countries?). I believe the one that Heritage sell has all 3 slats open, so perhaps run the current one tbrough the summer and see how it performs? Ian.
-
100% correct! - If one side fails then swop over with the good relay that does the main beam. Ian.
-
Bought some stuff this afternoon Rob with Paypal and no problems at all. Ian.
-
What is this noise? Piston slap? (VR6) - maybe not the end of the world..
GlosterOx replied to Jim's topic in Engine Bay
Very good suggestion, maybe worth persuing Jim? - Sorry overlapped your reply. Ian. -
58mm according to Vagcat. Ian.

I bought one in the early group buy, it was less than this but cannot remember exactly how much though. Really good product,looks same as OEM, fitted easily and highly recommended. €89 equates to about £66.00 delivered, which is good value considering VW wanted over £100.00 for a set at the time! Ian.
