    Alternator squeak

    So must have a separate belt for PAS? The pump I sold was conventional V belt

    Alternator squeak

    G60 is conventional V belt (Not multi V like VR6)? There's a fine line between belt slip and too tight accelerating front bearing wear on the alternator. Grab the alternator pulley and push / pull to check for wear
  3. Pads jammed in the carriers? Slides moving freely? Are the brakes getting hot due to the calliper holding on after the pedal is released?
  4. Old cars are expensive to run if you can't do basic repairs yourself. 3-4 hours labour plus parts - labour rates vary depending on where you live, parts prices vary depending on quality. They're not beyond a DIYer even a first timer.

    312mm brakes

    Same as MK3 late VR6 on the front

    312mm brakes

    288 / 312 have the same banjo fittings as MK4 rears, so neither will attach standard to Corrado flexis. 312s need 6mm spacers to align the callipers to the disks

    Center hub question?

    I looked into having custom spacers made but due to the length of the boss on the rear disks they would have to be 25mm plus otherwise the centring boss on the spacer is prone to shearing off due to lack of material on the spacer. Redborbet / redborbon a user on here has opened up a few sets of Subaru fit wheels and they’ve looked great in the pics he’s posted in his build thread.

    Center hub question?

    It’s been done several times carefully with a drill and bobbin sander. Subaru usually have a higher offset so need spacers to clear the struts

    No spark 2 & 5

    Its just a Topran (hover the cursor over the left hand side of the image), so available from other sources for less

    Anyone near you that can loan you a known good coil pack? https://www.autozone.com/repairguides/Volkswagen-Eurovan-2000-03/Firing-Orders/Firing-Orders/_/P-0996b43f803830c7
  13. An old trick for finding water ingress is to shake talc or baby powder around the floor then look for tide marks after a storm / hosing down

    Ant's VR6

    I had the clutch issue, eventually the slave failed completely dumping a puddle fluid on the road outside the house. I fitted a used one off a 16V gearbox I have stored in the shed
  15. I'd assumed at 700 odd horses he'd got some rather impressive brakes and the ABS would be long gone? The gearbox sensor would read wheel speed which with 700BHP wouldn't necessarily be road speed
  16. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1974-Suzuki-RV125-Van-Van-Unregistered-US-Import-Barn-Find-Restoration-Project/333428537229?autorefresh=true Gives you and idea what yours will fetch on ebay
  17. If the VRT is FWD why not use a signal from a rear wheel ABS sensor to get true road speed rather than wheel spinning gearbox speeds?
  18. I'm sure we'll find another supplier should you decide to price yourself out of the market foe RHD mats. Regards
  19. He doesn't post here often, his web address is in his sig, so probably best to message / phone him direct?
  20. That’s typical of a slipping belt, maybe worth checking it’s condition?
  21. It's not bad if you control the strip, don't remove anything until its sold, start at the front working in (lights bumper rads and fans) and inside (interior, switches etc) Keep all the bits to keep the interior dry until its sold(don't sell the sunroof first!). Keep the shell rolling until the day has arrived to get rid of it (but loosen the bolts when you're in the vicinity to aid the final push!). Price items high, too cheap and you'll be a busy fool - aim to package 2 or 3 items a day otherwise all your spare time disappears. Big items should be collection only - often you'll also sell other items on the day of collection I really enjoy it.
