Cheers Duncan (Linus Van Pelt) for a free splash guard! Very generous and much appreciated 8) :D :D :D

Cheers guys :D Will take it along to a garage in the next few days.

Pretty sure one of my brake callipers has siezed. Seems to stick badly after rain. Normally I get a slight noise when I pull away in first- kind of metallic groan/low pitched squeek :? Seems like it's one of the fronts but I'm not sure. Firstly, how do I tell which one it is? Secondly, can I sort it without replacing? (looking for a cheap option here :wink: ) Thirdly, if it needs replacing, is it worth using a 288mm golf 3 calliper? If I did this I'd obviously I'd need to do both sides so what bits would I need for the upgrade? Cheers!

...thought all C's (early and late) had separate switches for front and rear fogs... :?

Would be interested in a red set for my standard VR- they look superb, especially at that sort of price! :D 8)

I used to use them because a. the corrado headlights are really poor b. they look good (IMHO) And I agree with Ant- they're not particularly bright at all, so they're not going to blind anyone! :roll: The fogs on my old 306 were so much brighter, so you absolutely couldn't use them. The C is different. I've driven past the police with them on loads of times and never been stopped. Howerver, I don't really use them any more because over use does tend to make them crack, and also you get the feeling everyone looks at you and thinks 'What a w......' I've had a couple of people gesticulating at me in a very unpleasant way- talk about an over reaction! :roll: My 2p.

Wakey wakey, Jimbo! :lol: :roll: Think you'd be closer if you said half of it was my old car! :wink: Really pleased to see it looking so good again :D

Looking good! 8) :D See it's had a sex change then! :wink: :lol:

Thanks to Mike Edwards for sorting out some interior shelves and a door handle at a good price :D , and putting up with me being a bit late! :roll: :wink: Nice to meet you, mate. Cheers Andy

Cheers guys! :)

Right, Probably sounds really stupid :oops: , but where is the best place to jack the C up using a trolley jack (front and rear), and where is the best place to put the axle stands (front and rear). Invested in a set today so I can actually get under the car, and I don't want to go and do any damage! It seems pretty much common sense but I just want to be sure! :wink: :roll: Cheers Andy

Really chuffed! :D Looks like she'll be back to her former glory very soon 8) Well done for persevering- well worth it!

Cheers guys, Looks like I'm missing one for the driver's side wing and pulleys then. Will put a post in Wanted :wink: Thought the engine mounts contained some kind of oil, so when they disintegrate they leak :?:

Thanks Kev, So you don't have to take the throttle body off first? Nice and easy for a change then :wink:

Ice White Socks, What's the best way to clean the throttle body? A good soak with carb clean like with the ISV? Cheers

Had a good look under the car and there is only 1 splash guard (passenger side, fitted to front near spoiler). How many am I missing? Also noticed that the underside of the front engine mount and a nearby hose were wet- no visible oil leaks from anywhere else- do I need a new mount? Cheers Andy

Should be a sticker on the inside cover of your service logbook. Is there a sticker in the boot with the paint code? LK4U = Ice Grey Violet Have a look here http://www.corradoclub.co.uk/tectips.html for a complete list. HTH.

Friday afternoon, Tunbridge Wells town centre- saw a black (?) G60 driven by a woman, and a few seconds later a nice K-reg silver VR with what looked like a Miltek.

Brilliant stuff guys :D , Sounds like the amplifier has gone- don't think it's the surpressor as the noise remains constant when driving. Yalan's idea seems to be best- what sort of terminal do I need and how do I attach it - I'm clueless when it comes to electrics! :oops: :roll: Cheers Andy

Had this problem on my old G60. Can get FM fine, but can't get any MW. Just get crackles etc. No MW = No Five Live (no sport!!!) Any ideas? Cheers

Think they have them at Eurocarparts @ £35 ish?

Don't blame you- sounds fantastic! 8) :wink: 80K over here would get you a skanky one bedroom flat- if you're lucky! Best of luck with it all! :)

Mate, this just gets worse and worse. Really feel for you :( If Elephant are cancelling your policy, aren't you entitled to a policy refund or something for the amount of time left to run?! Typical insurance company- try to get you every way they can :mad: How come you're going back to Cape Town? UK weather getting you down? :roll:

Like Eug says, do them yourself! Much cheaper and they did look excellent (If I do say so myself :wink: ). Only took a couple of hours to do them :)

Walked past a grey Cupra-R parked at Bluewater yesterday. Stunning car- so nicely kitted out! 8) Body kit, wheels, brakes, exhaust- looks aggressive in an underated kind of way. Nice!
