  1. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-H-Volkswagen-Corrado-G60-/231525051515?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35e7f7ec7b Not mine There seems more interest in these by dealers recently? Maybe its a sign that the prices are on the way up?
  2. I'm not arguing, your opinions are as valid as anyones :) I had a short ride in Mr Lobitos 4mo engined VR on Koni height adjustables and 17s, it rode better than my standard Vr on 15s or so it seemed at the time. I lift share with someone with a 60 plate focus ST with bilsteins on 18s, it doesn't crash and bang anything like my MK4 on H and R kit on 16s on the same roads.
  3. I fitted a weitec kit to my MK3 Golf TDi estate, non height or damping adjustable and with 15 inch Michelins they were a bit soggy TBH, I fitted Toyos and the car rode well for a daily and gripped well too. A front spring broke after 3 years use.
  4. I've got a set of weitecs with stainless bodies boxed in the garage, they've had decent reviews here in the past
  5. Coffee table anyone? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-m5-v8-camshaft-nurburgring-glass-engine-coffee-table-auto-art-designer-/301584995514?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4637ddd4ba
  6. By the front passengers left ankle under the dash forward of the door behind a plastic cover. If you have edl you'll hear a dinging noise as you wheelspin away from standstill
  7. Not to **** on your chips re the sale, but is it really worth the possible expense of engine damage repairing those cams?
  8. And some 1/2 drive sockets or pieces of pipe, big washers etc? I think they recommend white grease for polybush lube?
  9. Loads of VAG stuff has relay 109 (MK4 based for example), you can also remove the cover and resolder any dry joints inside
  10. If youre fiddling with the car unplugging sensors etc then you'll create ghost codes by doing it. Clear codes and retry starting the car to get the true codes

    Who's your insurer?

    I've just swapped from Admiral multicar (as they dont cover vans themselves) to Brentacre as I've changed dailys to a LWB T5, the corrado is also insured for commuting and 5K per anum, both for less than £600
  12. Spark Fuel Compression Timing If you have the above the engine should run, whats missing when its not starting? Is the non start when the engine is cold / hot / both?

    Noob error

    If its off an OBD2 golf the throttle body wont fit. Google the part number for the answer The Golf inlet manifold is higher torque at lower revs, the Corrado is lower torque but higher power at higher revs.
  14. Improvise, a tyre inflator with the airbed nozzle fitted, gaffer taped to a length of dowel if needed.
  15. I bumped it as mods may be able to read the pre editted thread?
  16. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=75888 No help as it was edited out The wheels make it memorable for me
  17. Its looks like one Kip was selling on behalf of the owners widdow a few years ago? There was a build thread too if its the same car? EDIT I found the for sale thread but unfortunatelly kip edited it once the car was sold
  18. Use masking tape on all edges of panels that may touch when removing and refitting painted panels
  19. Can the sunroof drains be cleared by blowing through them with an air line? Or use something like the outer brake cable off a push bike and push the accumulated debris through?
  20. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Corrado-VR6-16v-POLO-mk3-GOLF-CADDY-ALLOY-WHEELS-15-5-X100-SPEEDLINES-BBS-RONAL-/111634096651?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item19fde9220b Not mine
  21. The pic and method is stolen from another place, the idea is not mine and I take no credit for it. I think its more likely HG failure, but that is a method to diy test the heat exchanger (its proper name) and discount it from any ongoing issue
  22. Testing the cooler Remove the cooler, block one of the coolant ports and fit air attachment to the other port (the pic shows both fitted with bicycle tyre valves), dunk the cooler into a bucket of water and use a tyre inflator to check for leaks.
  23. I can only find this type, I suspect you wont have room for this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OIL-GAUGE-FITTING-T-PIECE-3xM10-1-FIT-VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-/131242911832?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1e8eafe858
