Now....this is the critical part.....you need to make sure the gear stick travel is the same in both directions (left and right) and then retighten the nut. In other words, the 'day light' gap between the moving parts should be equal at the limit of the stick's travel - on both sides. It's difficult to explain and I can't take pics (yet) as my car is at Stealth. You should see what I mean when you start playing with it. On David's picture above, parts 7, 8, 13 and 17 are the fellas I'm on about. 5) When you're happy the left and right planes are equal in travel, retighten the 13mm nut on the gearbox. Job done. Take out and road test. Just what I was looking for..My 5th gear can be a little hard to engage, not all the time but hopefully this little adjustment will sort it..Cheers :clap:

If I hit any more curbs then I will be after another one :( Got a crack in either side now :lol:

When i got my raddo bk home I then found out (from a fellow member on here who kindly done a hpi) it was a cat 'd' :confused4: But i still love the car to bits.. :)

A few more pics..

Only had my C for two months and as yet (just wait tomorrow I expect i will see loads :lol: ) I have NOT seen another :( But on the other hand,,, wow you get some great looks from other so i guess thats a good thing..

Ok as you may well know I have not long replaced the filter/leads/plugs/rotor arm/cap and this weekend the coil pack :confused4: :confused4: However my 2.0 8V on start up finds it hard to tick over..Mind you its not all the time?? Just now is started and the idle was about 800rpm, with in seconds the engine the tries to die and it drops to below 500rpm and almosts cuts out !! If my AFM was playing up would it give me these symptons??? Excuse my spelling :lol:

Heh, at least you were close to a well known fast food outlet breaking down on that roundabout! What you saw me? :lol: :lol: Take it you know Chippenham then...The only fries I had was a coil :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here's my ride..Had it for about 4 years now and its great..Ok not to every one's taste but hey I've had fast bikes and I'm getting on a little now so I'm happy just cruising along.. Its a Honda VT750C2 Ace..

Our fuel consumption is good due to the fact that our engines are not running,, :lol: :lol: Still lets hope mine is working well next weekend? On the RR just for a laff..Lets see if my new sparks gives me a load of BHP :D :D

Mine to is a 2.0 8V... :D :D :D

Well my Saturday started off ok and then :eek: Firstly for some strange reason my C cut-out whilst reversing off the drive way when heading to Sainsbury's..It started up tho :confused4: Got our shopping and just as I went to pull onto the main A4 round-a-bout the thing cut-out and I managed to roll along a little..Lucky the wife has break-down cover and with in half an hour the car was back home. Having last w/end spent 100 quid on leads I thought what could this be :confused4: A good friend stopped and checked the coil pack :shock: NO SPARKS..So off I went (after the car was taken back home) and got a new coil pack for 40 quid..ALL IS FINE NOW..

Can anyone tell me the stanard et on a 2.0 8V :confused4: Thinking of getting some new alloys that have an ET of 42, they are 15's..

All eyes and ears here in Wiltshire mate..Hope the scumbags get a payback sooner rather than later.. :censored:

thanks for that mate..I will pop it out (head-unit that is) at the weekend and look for those yellow + red wires.. :clap:

I tried that but had no joy :( I will take a look in the morning as to the model..

Any one got one they could scan for me :confused4: I'm pissed off with having to search for the radio channel each time I start the car..I'm guessing I need to find the memory wire and connect it to a live :? I'm not good when it comes to wires :cuckoo:

Have done, got a stock panel filter in her..Just need to sort some nice alloys out now.. :tongue:

Ok I got plus, leads, cap and rotor arm..All fitted and thought best check the filter :eek: What do you think?? I think its well gone :lol: :lol: New one now been fitted..Thats 112 quid spent on the car in a day!! NO FLOWERS FOR MY WIFE TODAY :lol: :lol: :lol:

Tell me about it mate..And the lead going to the coil is FAR to short..Gonna pay em a visit on Monday..Also the plugs had a different socket head size and my plug socket only just fitted due to the counter bore in the head..Still all seems fine and it feels a lot smoother :D ..Just checked my air filter :( I was hanging, popped to Halfords and new one now in place..

as it say's on the cap :lol: :lol: I like em. Get them refurbished and they will look the dogs :clap:

ignore that silly question :cuckoo: :cuckoo: Just got a plug out the box and they are those triple prong ones so therefore gap is pre-set.. :notworthy:

Well I have had my Corrado for a month and thought its time to treat her.. I have just purchased a plug set, leads, cap and rotor arm..Cost me 100 quid :? OUCH I got a set of NGK plugs (BKUR6ET-10) and wondered if its safe to just the pre-set gap :confused4: If not does anyone have a manual stating what the gap should be

Don't you get bored driving that distance at a constant 56 mph :lol: Stuck to the speed limit going up...Well the sat nav only beeped a few times..Coming back was 70-80mph where i cud, unless speed restrictions were in place :confused4: And on the M4 thats a fair few :lol: :lol: After doing 308 miles this week the total average turned out to be just over 34mpg.. My Punto GT would only give me 20-25mpg so I'm happy.. Time for a service tho, RR in two weeks just for a laff... :clap:

You git it...... I cant see you guys (G60/VR) getting into the 40's....Give me time and I will join you :lol: :lol:

WOW I was impressed....Drove to Twickenham yesterday and averaged 43.2 MPG going down and 38.6 coming back :clap: And thats with a car full... :D
