  1. It looks like someone has gutted the original speaker and glued in an MB Quart tweeter (good quality BTW), I suspect the wiring will be (should be) cut elsewhere and is fed from a crossover (hi / low frequency splitter).
  2. If you suspect similar issues the other side slacken the bolts and spray with penetrative oil while you do the side you're currently on, then drop down onto the ground and drive forward and backward to break the rusts hold with no exertion from yourself. I've done this with wheels stuck to the hub, much easier than a sledgehammer and a block of wood
  3. Cast alloy, joined to steel? Alloy expands at a greater rate than steel, heat should get them expanding at different rates, you could also try a freeze spray or if needed alternate the two. A light blow with a rubber hammer could also be combined with the above. It could take minutes or days of persuasion with lubricating over night etc. If the CV is scrap you could also attack it wit a grinder to weaken it into segments and remove a bit at a a time? Good luck, go steady

    Ulez emissions

    I'm in Cheshire so I've not really followed this TBH, would an LPG conversion help with ULEZ?
  5. I'd be tempted to flip it over soak kitchen roll (to stop evaporation) in the chosen solvent, leave resting on the bonnet and go and do something for an hour while it softens
  6. You have to look at carriers as an adaptor, it marries the hub spec to the calliper to include the disk offset and diameter, hole spacing in the knuckle etc
  7. Autodoc have callipers fr £30 each (Daco branded) and carriers for £10 (Stark branded), I've never heard of either but have to be better that 20 year old used?
  8. It's nice, but £40K buys lots of nice things? I keep getting logged out...
  9. When I did my nsf wheelbearing the cv was stuck solid inside it, it took a 20t press to budge it. I had to slide the cv off the shaft and press it out, the bearing took Less effort
  10. Massive! Salesman’s talk, even fully decatted doesn’t give “Massive” gains. my advice is to ask here before investing in a salesman’s BS Theres not a mod done to these cars that members here past and present haven’t tried, you’re in the right place for good advice
  11. Is lambda still fitted in the de cat?
  12. There’s a discussion on another forum re brake clunks new pads purchased from a EUROpean supplier using the name of a quality brand under license, with their clients being somewhat slap dash and not cleaning carriers before fitting the manufacture the pads “loose fit” the owner purchased elsewhere and all is now good and a refund issued
  13. I'm sure the car will be a stunner with your attention to detail. Lots of Corrado stuff has become obsolete since you sold your last one, it will be great to see your solutions to NLA items.
  14. The old recovery services way of getting you home with a fuse box or relay issue was to temporarily wire the pump to the rear tail lights, turn lights on pump runs. this might help with fault finding? welcome back, still making shiny stuff?

    wilkos G60

    I read somewhere that the oscillating power tools can be used to cut the glue and release the quarter windows? Not sure which blade type etc?
  16. Leather dash! I have lots of Storm cream plastic should you need any?
  17. I'd change the wheels, otherwise perfect to my eyes
  18. When I was selling my MK2, I took a lad on a 20 mile test drive, spent an hour on my drive chatting as he inspected everything only for him to say mum doesn't want me to buy it - she wasn't there and no mobile phones back then. I never did hear from him again..... He couldn't use a clutch or change gear without crashing into them, a painful experience that left me scarred to this day
  19. It’s a nice car, best colour etc a lot of money… wrong wheels? Should be coke bottle tops?

    confused

    Hi, the forum is now subscription in most areas, hence why you can’t post anywhere but here. Very few cars sell here tbh as we already have one lol. If you put it on eBay post a link here

    dash speakers

    Most modern cars sound good? They alway have separates, tweeters in the dash or mirror housings? if you have a stereo at home try moving the speakers to point at the side walls, 90 degrees from the side walls and lastly pointed at your ears. my mrs dad is into his classic hifi, stands full of sand, spikes in the floor etc he sits in the chair, dead centre speakers aimed at his ears.

    dash speakers

    It mean high (directional) frequencies will be aimed between your knee and your ankle.

    ISV/IAC valve

    RAC guy gave a tip a few days ago for finding inlet leaks, use a gas torch unlit around seals, gaskets, breathers etc if engine revs increase you’ve found a leak. Were adults and take reasonable precautions, do it out side in small bursts away from arcing plug leads etc If in any doubt don’t do it!
