Life dictates sometimes you have to sell and buy back as and when you have funds available. By the same notion an enthusiast should never sell?

All high prices do it is price real enthusiasts out of the market, the cars become a comodity and you see what you have here, dealers speculating to accumulate. As prices spiral youll see less and less on the roads as the cars become too special for regular use

Do you like auctions? http://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/classic-auctions/latest-classic-car-catalogue/saturday-27th-august/1990-vw-corrado-16v/

The sale was well deserved, quality always sells. Time to start an R32 thread now:)

I still regret not buying Mr Lobitos 24V, I was waiting for my annual bonus and it sold a few days before. Don't live to regret it if its weeks or a few months away from being the right time, the owner states he doesn't have to sell asap?

There's no need to be sorry, these cars are increasing in value (or at least the asking prices are ATM) some unscrupulous types may try to sell the uninformed (you only had one previous post so I presumed wrongly that you were a novice buyer - sorry) a holy grail car (every car with leather is a storm or Karmann interiors are special! etc etc) for an inflated price! Massbads car is a beaut in my eyes, you could do much worse than buy this car (his build thread shows the care and attention he's lavished on it in the last year or so). Good luck

Be careful, it's a jungle out there. Lol http://wiki.the-corrado.net/the_corrado_buying_guide_checklist.html The 250 green storms are just a standard colour with a colour coded grill, cream leather a downgrade to MK3 golf solitude alloys and storm badges. The blue storms are painted mystic blue (a storm only colour - a MK3 golf colour....), colour coded grill, black leather, a downgrade to MK3 Golf solitude alloys and storm badges. Its just something the UK importers did to sell a few more. Why are you looking for a storm when you don't know what one is?

I've linked both listings in the ebay section

Massbads will be next? Non have sold yet tho so they're just chancing their luck?

If its MOTd I'd say you're under selling the car, £2K ONO IMO

The plug is for a PCV heater on USA spec cars (the mayo like gunk that tends to collect there can freeze - this has happened to some Lupos in the UK during very cold winter spells leading to oil loss and engine seizure), not needed in the UK as they never had one. Blocking off the pcv valve usually ends up with oil leaks http://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/197

Can you not produce these in ever lasting stainless steel?

Why don't you put up a pic of the item you require, google search brings up no images that are of use

They're just 10mm x 1mm bleed nipples, any motor factors should stock them for around £1 each

Swap over your daily to the C and then back again?

Slip a piece of pipe over the allen key to give more leverage - the allen key needs to be a good quality one.

I've posted it on another forum, I'll let you know what their advice is

I took a pic with my phone and used tapatalk to post the pic, its easy and that's from a techno-dunce

Why don't you post a pic of the emissions fail sheet? I'll copy it and post it elsewhere where pro techs lurk, its what I did and someone posted this below. EMISSIONS HELP CO high, co2 low hc high, o2 high - rich mixture with ignition misfire CO high, co2 low hc high, o2 low -faulty thermostat or coolant sensor CO low, co2 low hc low, o2 high - exhaust leak after cat CO low, co2 high, hc low, o2 high - injector misfire, cat ok CO high, co2 low, hc medium to low, o2 high - rich mixture CO high, co2 high, hc high, o2 high - injector misfire, cat not working, combination of rich mixture and vacuum leak CO low, co2 high, hc low, 02 low, good afr and cat operation- system normal . lambda typical range 0.97 to 1.03 [ ideal lambda 1 ] The emissions limits to be met are specified for both the fast and normal idle tests.
