Just wondering where the cheapest place to get rear engine and gearbox mounts, as mine need doing! Cheers si

Cheers for the info Si

Not long had mine! Also there is another chap at my work who has a VR6 Rado but i havnt had chance to speak to him yet. Si

Just a quick question! What were your old wheels and tyres as i quite like the look of them as need to get some new ones early next year. On another note, the car is looking good with your new wheels etc. Si

Ok! Strange! The whurring sound was to do with the heater! Changed the setting and due to it not blowing so hard it was quieter and so turned off the heater and no sound.... strange. Planning on checking the brake calipers this weekend so will keep you all posted. Also been told that one of my wheels is almost had it. So will be looking for some new wheels soon. Si

Cheers for the info. As for the pulling to the right i think its mostly when braking but will check later. Si

Hi all, another problem! When turning right all ok, however when turning left i get a high pitched whuuring sound! Any ideas? Wheel bearing perhaps? Also when i brake it pulls to the right and i am thinking that perhaps there is a problem with one of the brake calipers as had same sort of problem on my mini. Any info cheers Si (corrado owner for 1 week now :D )

I'm about 5miles from home. Hope to give it a run tomorrow night to see how it is. Will keep you informed. Si

Let the car warm up a bit more today and lots of smoke this morning (but it was very cold) and when i got to work it seemed ok. Will check the coolant levels at lunch time or when i get home later. Si

hi all, just wondering if there are any locals (East sussex - Hastings) around? :wave: Si

I hope to take it out for a decent run in the next day or so as probably not had a decent run recently. Is it a pain to change the head gasket on the 16v engines. My other option was to try and get another engine and rebuild it and pop it in. Si

White! Checked this morning when got to work and didnt seem to be much smoke! Strange! Apparently the car hasnt been used much in the last 10 months or so due to the person i got it off having to get a family car as they have a new born etc. Also had a flat tyre this weekend as it didnt seem to be sealed very well, so buggerd up the tyre and the garage tell me the wheel is buckeled and really could do with a new set of rims etc.

Hi, only had the car a week. Its a 1990 G-reg 1.8 16v in black 141000miles on the clock. Full service history. Cheers Si

Sitting in traffic today and noticed the exhaust was a bit smokey. Any ideas? Si

Changed the wheel! Got to the shops and found i had a flat tyre and no sign of a puncture, so will take it to the garage on monday to see what the problem is. Si
