  1. Hope to be, have voted for breakfast @ Kemble as that suits me the best with my other commitments for Sunday. Have decided to put the car up for sale this weekend as I am getting another one tomorrow, details at a later date. Here are some pics of it today after a good clean + polish. Ian.
  2. Bought these a while ago but never got round to fitting them, new in the box (unopened). Looking for £25.00 posted. Ian.
  3. Been a while, so thought it time to update this with recent developments. Had Jay's engine mount inserts collecting dust so got the car on a ramp at my friends garage and got those fitted along with a Lemforder MK2 Golf Gearbox Mount, changed the gearbox oil for Castrol fully synthetic as well - No untold movement now so a definite improvement. Carried on the Red theme and fitted the nearly new VW HT Leads that i got off Paul (KIPVW), really pleased with those too. Whilst under the car I decided it was time to tidy up the underside as well, so the wishbones came off and were blasted and painted satin black followed by R32 bushes in the back and powerflex in the front and also powerflex bushes on the anti-roll bar as well - We also cleaned the subframe as well. To ensure it drove perfectly I also got the tracking camber/castor adjusted as well. The last item to go on was my large bore throttle body, the finish on it is superb as it is now a pretty uniform size top to bottom and the "lip" 1/2 way down has gone as well. On driving home it definitely seemed to have improved the throttle response plus the damper(?) on it seems better as well, so in conjunction with the renewed engine/gearbox mounts made for a very enjoyable experience. Ian.
  4. I think you will need some spacers (6mm?) then they should fit. Try also using the search as I'm sure this has been asked before. Ian.
  5. You should still be OK, I got mine within a couple of days of posting it. Ian.
  6. Small world, we used to live in Albert Road. Ian.
  7. I have a near mint headlamp that I was saving " just in case" - If you can't find one anywhere else I would consider selling it if it meant keeping another Corrado on the road. Ian.
  8. The Ibis in Gloucester sometimes has offers for £19.00 a night so might be worth looking at? Ian.
  9. PM robo22sri, as on the last post of the thread he says that he has one for sale? Ian.
  10. Think that they have been obsolete for a while now but believe the 90mm one is still available. Ian.
  11. Small world, we're off to Bideford in a couple of weeks time for a long weekend but it will probably be in the daily rather than the Corrado. Ian.
  12. Welcome to the forum, we're a friendly bunch and there is usually someone to answer any questions. Where is N Devon are you, spent many a holiday around the Croyde Bay/Ilfracombe area!! Ian.
  13. Would be looking for £100 delivered, but happy to throw in some mixing cups and paint strainers if it would help? Ian.
  14. I have a brand new (apart from one trial to make sure it worked) DeVilbiss HVLP Spray Gun + spares collecting dust on top of my wardrobe if you want to invest in some good equipment? Ian.
  15. I'm thinking of putting the same Uniroyals on my daily, how are you finding them Jim? Ian.

    brakes

    Certainly sounds like warped discs. If running std size ones then either VW or perhaps Pagids from GSF. Might be worth considering the upgrade to Mk3/4 Golf type 288mm fronts as it is supposed to make quite a difference as it is a much larger pad surface area? Ian.

    Sunroof Motor

    This is a late motor, Part Nr 535 959 731 and labelled Rockwell France, mine is exactly the same - I believe the 1989 > 1992 ones are different? Can do it for £25.00 delivered by next day TNT courier if interested? Ian.

    Sunroof Motor

    May have one, can you tell me the VW Part Nr off it please? Ian.
  19. From memory I think the idle should be 650rpm when warm so that looks about right? Ian.
  20. I believe he is after Door Cards, as per his wanted thread,and wants to know if yours are still available? Ian.
  21. Have the "grab" handle complete with the switch, just tried it in mine and it works fine - 5 minute job to change over. Thinking of £20.00 inc delivery by TNT. Ian.
  22. Pretty sure I've got a mirror switch, will confirm later if OK? Ian.
