  1. Pics show on my iPhone but not on my laptop (spacer.npg displayed)
  2. Nothing to do with me! https://silverstonedreamcars.co.uk/shop/corrado-vr6/
  3. Be concise and polite explaining the situation, obsolete / unobtainable in your country etc You never know your luck

  5. Why not contact a windscreen manufacturers and ask to buy the mount? I've done this in the past and had stuff posted FOC just by supplying contact details in the first email
  6. I've bought cars with new pads fitted with a receipt for doing so and the fitter didn't clean rust off the carrier or copper grease the pads or carrier and they were jammed solid - I had to lever them out.
  7. They need stripping and cleaning every couple of years as rust on the pads and the carriers where they both meet leads to them jamming and the pads wearing wedge shaped if not corrected.

    Take loads of pics, it doesn't take long to remove them, bleeding up after is a PITA

    I don't think anyone repairs these since the demise of BBA-Reman? Your best bet is to get the pump and pedal sensor removed and find a TV or electronics repair place to reflow the solder joints - assuming they / you can't yourself?

    Has it been scanned?
  12. If both rad hoses are hot then coolant is circulating? Condition of the waterpump? Assuming the aircon is deleted off the new engine and a smaller belt fitted is the pumps rotation correct? Is the engine from a known good source with no previous overheating issues?

  14. Fast typer or copy and paste expert? Hmm, pork and ham?
  15. Welcome, this is mainly a UK forum (but not exclusively), so you may have a poor response to your question
  16. My 80+ (at the time) housebound (alzheimers and vascular dementia) mothers house alarm packed up 10 or so years ago so I replaced the main alarm control box, because the tamper part of the alarm still worked I had the battery back up sirens screaming for 30 mins or so - no one came to see if anything was going on, no phone calls, nothing. A month or so ago the local power supply was cut various times one afternoon, everytime local badly maintained (back up batteries flat) meant alarms rang on and off many times as the fault was traced, no one batted an eyelid. My other half had the battery cease while shopping 15 miles away on her A3, she climbed in via the hatchback (the key in the door wouldn't open it (a good time to find out lol) and drove home alarm blaring, hazards flashing, no one gave a toss.......... I'm a big fan of alarms lol. I have recently fitted home cameras tho to cover drive, road and patio, give the images to the pros and let them sort the scroats
  17. If the car's insured what's the problem? People die from a single punch let alone a stab would or assault with an iron bar. Posessions are nice, life is precious?
  18. I'm pretty sure they can be linked to your phone so act as a silent alarm anyway. In the 10 years I've been on here I can't remember a Corrado being stolen?
  19. Everyone ignore alarms, home and automotive - they're just an annoyance. I'd look into having a tracker fitted, that way pros can follow the car real time rather than you potentially confronting a drug deranged physcopath outside your home.
  20. Still alive with the owners private plate on it so signs are all good? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. When you say alignment, is it just tracking £20 or full Castor / camber/ toe check £80? Have you tried swapping wheels front to back?
