Payment sent mate with address via paypal gift Regards Paul

Could you put my name down for 2 please swompy. Cheers Paul

Is it best to remove the grill piece to get at the sensor? Cheers

Anyone?

I had a look at the switch its all wired up etc i gave it a clean up but nothing still showing on the MFA. is it just a matter of buying a new switch and wireing it up etc? cheers

I hope i have the correct switch, its the one just down from the fog light and indicator lamp? and i think its 2 brown cables? iam not up at the car anymore so can't quite remember :epicfail:

I had a look for the sensor today, it was plugged in so i gave it a wee clean but still nothing showing on the MFA in the car Any ideas?

I take it its just a matter of "plugging" it back in and it should work?

No iam not sure it is plugged in but it dosn't come up on the MFA atoll. Where abouts dose it get plugged in on a VR?

My 1993 VR6 dosn't come with the ambient temp function on the trip computer. Is it possible to wire something up so i do have a ambient temp function? :D

I can get it open but when i try and adjust the pin it will close but while driveing along it will pop up :bad-words: Any ideas? Cheers Paul

I have had another look at the cable, it now seems when the passenger pin is in the correct poisition i.e the bonnet won't rise up but...... when i go to realese the bonnet the passenger pin won't move far enough back to get the bonnet open if you know what i mean so i have to realese it manually :bad-words: but if i try and move the pin any further back the bonnet will rise not just on the passenger side also it can happen to the drivers side. Is it just a matter of trying to get the passenger pin to line up or is the actual pin knackerd? Cheers Paul

Have been looking through the forum about bump strip removeal just wondering what you guys think of it. Is it really worthwhile? have use got any pics of what it looks like after the removeal? also if it leaves any marks or scratchs on the paintwork? and whats the best way you guys have found to remove them? cheers

No its not just the passenger side the drivers side rises up aswell i take it just because the cable is to tight??

Just after some advice please I have a issue with my bonnet that i need help with, recentley i couldn't get the bloody thing open it was the passenger side realese pin wasn't realeaseing that side of the bonnet so only the drivers side would realese so i managed to get the grill of and hook the realese pin, i then went about tightening the cable this worked as i can now get the bonnet open but when you go say over 50mph one side of the bonnet will start to rise up out of its catch. I have cleaned in and around the cable and realese pins but it still rises up, i have searched the forum for info but can't find anything on this issue any ideas would be helpful? cheers Paul

Well i was planning it and geting a golf vr highline but couldnt come to terms to sell it these cars really do get to you, so i bought a polo to run around town and use the corrado at the weekend

orite i see, ill get my bolts ordered tomorrow and try get these old buggers off, thanks for the help

may sound like a stupid question but whats the difference between normal mole grips and irwins?

Anyone?

Mine use to do this, you could take it all apart and clean it and find out that its goosed, so i just bought a second hand motor and mechanism for 60quid and got my local garage to fit it :D

the bolts on the rear are round so its a aleen key socket i need.... i can't get the bloody things out!! :(

Right went and bought a allen key socket set and went and tryed to get the bolts off again 2nite but still no luck!! i can't find a correct socket that will fit into the bolts dnt know if its aftermarket bolts or whatever, a 8mm socket is not quite big enough and a 9mm is to big, anyone got any ideas what size it is? also whats the differnece between the irwin mole grips to normal ones? if theres a differece at all. cheers
