I doubt the sensors - especially the brass ones will take half a turn, 10mm x 1mm pitch, so essentially you’re trying to stretch the threaded part 0.5mm or crush the copper washer similar. I’d go finger tight and a nip and monitor for seepage.

The UK lenses are configured for RHD so unsuitable for LHD lamps.

Sorn since April 2017, pass with no advisories the year before - nothing bad in the mot history for the previous few times either. Good luck with the search. Found your build thread http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?23959-Jbob-s-Corrado-SOLD-!!!!
-
Imo, members only should be:- The wiki For sale and wanted, eBay links, traders offers etc Owners build threads - as they are a wiki themselves?
-
Mot history not the best either, nothing bad but not cherished either
-
I agree, maybe if the forum thrives members and current remanufacturers will commit to more products going forward. I see the forum as the foundations to which we can build upon.

I work in a dairy, no connection what so ever. Just register your email with them

GSF no longer email me codes Mid60 is this weeks code - internet rumour

As I see it CCGB were formed first- pre internet, they’re proud and protective of their club to the point it’s more important than the Corrado itself. Since I’ve been here there’s not been too much harmony between the two, but members of both happily co- existed all the same. There’s been the odd flare up, so I doubt there will ever be any kind of marriage even though many are members of both. I doubt both can survive so it’s dog eat dog lol If this place does fold there’s plenty of VW forums around without resorting to fb

CCGB committee are against it. I used Canada’s site to do my heater matrix, I also had various threads saved in my favourite for future use and as you say gone over night. CCGB members direct people here most weeks as do some of the other fb Corrado groups to use the wiki or to search out other threads.

A good start would be how many donate now and the predicted annual costs to run the forum? How many would realistically become new or renew their donations? I'd like to see more mods - frequent viewers to get rid of the spammers I'd like to see a section for daily non Corrados where previous Corrado owners can contribute, their knowledge would benefit the forum and their traffic would contribute to other off topic subjects too.

http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?95286-CCGB-Why-can-t-we-fill-shows Plenty of discussion here regarding CCGB using this forum for business..... A closed forum would be a bad thing going forward, no one is going to stump up for something before they've seen the goods first? You can get free apps that remind you of impending MOT, servicing, insurance and RFL etc Would I pay to support the forum, yes
-
I’m not sure Corrados were ever supposed to be refined? It’s what makes them appeal to me TBH
-
Looks to have a coilpack on the side of the head, so probably an AUE engine? Just goes to show how some mods are timeless and don't age the car badly - Porsche mirrors?

Ask the paint supplier, if you’re fit and Healthy, no breathing issues etc and take reasonable care regarding the fumes etc you’ll live. I sprayed 2k 20 plus years ago in a garage at home, all doors open and used a charcoal mask and I’m still here. Everyday would probably have killed me by now.

Considering E38 was for any VAG branded vehicle with a smattering of BMW, Porsches and Mercs, our backs are against the wall, we need to generate traffic
-
Edition 38 closed down their forum yesterday, its a sobering thought that such a well known forum has gone leaving only their representation on fb and Instagram. Use the forum or one day this could our forum too?
-
Thanks as always for your efforts. We need a simple one click way to upload pics, so many regulars have migrated to fb because of this, the two major threads for daily images of their rides haven't seen a new post since before tapatalk usage became a problem here. Nag over Enjoy the rest of yor day

I tried to reply to the tread a week ago but the forum wouldn’t let me.

ReAr axles are the same, only the front went wide track, rear arches are the same as early and late. Set the brakes with the handbrake disconnected using the pedal, short strokes are the best way for this not pedal to be floor - keep the master cylinder in its normal range of movement. Then attach the cables making sure the brake levers on the callipers return to there stops. Adjust the handbrake so the brakes bind on two clicks, this should then hold firm on 4-5 clicks

Trying to reply with a quote or just a straight reply to the running without a lambda thread and get either, Are you sure you want to leave [pop up BOX] or You're unable to reply within 30 seconds of your previous reply (or similar)
-
Short term it should be ok, I wouldn’t do any full throttle power runs though.
-
It should be possible to sacrifice the old boss the lambda resides inside with a grinder to weaken it to the point it can be removed.

Without it the engine won’t run closed loop, the engine will be in limp mode to protect itself.
