The site only exists thanks to Toby, it makes a loss, so his time is better spent on other projects to pay his bills just like the rest of us. he doesn’t own a corrado anymore either, I suspect this is what we have, use it or lose it. its a bit flunky but still better than fb with all the AI generated rubbish that’s factually flawed -
Modern tester are used to cassette type bearings with zero play, if you set tapers to do the same when warm they would be so tight they’d squeegee the grease away and the bearings would fail quickly. If they're not noisy leave them. Slight rock on the wheel at 3 and 9 o’clock is good, excessive at 6 and 12 o’clock indicate worn stub axles- if you try and adjust this out it kills the bearings (see first paragraph).

fb - I'm noticing more and more click bait, pages taking an age to load due to the amount adverts......... A1 created features with so much incorrect info........... On top of general poor advice / info being offered in groups (not Corrado groups ATM). Maybe the forums that survived could make a come back? -

OBD1 cars run like a bag of shite if the battery has been disconnected / gone flat, it takes several drive cycles to settle down as the eco needs to relearn the perimeters of the sensors. Randomly disconnecting sensors puts the eco into limp exaggerating your stall issues. Battery off over night, drive for several days without tinkering, then review the issues you have

For the miss, pull one plug lead off at a time as the engine runs, find one that has the least effect and you've located the cylinder. Plug Lead Coil Injector Compression

Headlights - No dipped beam - except in tandem with the main beam

Yes, give it a go. I built my first MK2 loom and didn't know which pin did what, 9v clicked the relay and I built it around that. 85 / 86 close the contacts 30 - 87, let there be light -

You can use a 9v tv remote type battery to test a relay in conjunction with a multimeter, the pins spacing on the battery means you don’t need wires Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -

The relays will be the same, switch them around to prove your theory? Get someone to operate the switches whilst touching the relays to feel for the click -

I suspect the gellifying of modern E10 fuels causes starvation due to choking the pump via the screen to the point the screen gets sucked into the pump causing a bigger issue than the Gell?

It's still in its box lol, too much other stuff going on atm, want to drain the tank as I suspect the pre filter was blocked leading to it going missing and ultimately seized the pump.
