  1. Halfords 10W 40 would be fine. Not sure on the tappets!
  2. As above, Rog. The VR especially is a little clattery from a cold start. Soon settles down though. Some people have used thicker oils e.g. 10W 50.
  3. Yes it will fit anything after 1992. Not sure what the exchange rate is at the moment, but happy to post overseas.
  4. Hi, no key I'm afraid, but easy enough to retumble. Just got driver's side. Will fit any post 1992 corrado.
  5. You might get away with just trimming the end of the hose.
  6. Nice you got the leak sorted easily! :) got the bmc on yet?
  7. Aye, half term does come in handy! I'm loving the car and my boys have been won over totally (after seeing the cup holder :lol: Just hope the engine light isn't anything serious...
  8. Been steadily working through some jobs that needed doing: Fitted 17" Anniversary BBS RC alloys that were on the Storm (see above) Gave the interior a good hoover and the leather a clean and feed. Next I removed the pop-out cup holder, which was no longer popping out. Gave it a good clean in warm soapy water, then realigned the runners etc and added a bit of grease- all working perfectly now. Replaced the blown headlamp washer fuse- all working perfectly now. Replaced the dipstick and guide tube. Really easy job. The guide tube was cracked at the top, but on closer inspection had completely crumbled away at the bottom. Good job I'm getting the sump cleaned and oil pickup changed, as I suspect there will be a few orange pieces of plastic in there! Fitted a Badger 5 TIP (turbo intake pipe) and BMC twin cone filter. The TIP is absolutely massive compared to the restrictive original. Was easy enough to get into place on the turbo, but getting the recirc valve, N75 etc into the TIP was a royal PITA! :lol: Lots of washing up liquid necessary ;) The coolant gauge was fluctuating all over the place, so changed the sensor. It was the original black sensor, which are prone to failure. Replaced it with the new upgraded green sensor and all seems fine now. Was sitting at 90c nicely on my little journey earlier. Replaced pollen filter. How easy was this? Took about 2 mins 8) Fitted brand new S3 carpet mats Fitted brand new headlamp protectors Engine light came on today and the idle felt a little rough- will investigate tomorrow. Still to do: Major service (oil/filter, fuel filter, cambelt, waterpump, drivebelt) At the same time- thermostat, gearbox oil, rear diff oil, brake fluid, wheel alignment, Powerflex dogbone mount. A very thorough exterior wash, polish and wax. Later on: Dyno run and possible remap @ Badger 5 R32 rear ARB Haldex controller Ipod connection/DAB stereo
  9. Shed :lol: ps- get it entered into the Show and Shine at Brizzle next year ;)
  10. Kev, quite right about the tyres! Swapped my Bbs rc's on yesterday. Way lighter than the Ronal Avus that were on there already. The Conti tyres on the RC's are a step up from the budget tyres. Much more feel now with sharper turn in. Very pleased!
  11. I'm Andy :lol: yeah, you've got to be quick to beat Bryan!
