oh dear, I feel your pain Jim :( not once but twice, I can only imagine your heart sank! I have a set of standard VR cams which were removed around 150k when I had my stealth head rebuild done. I was planning to make some book ends or something with them but if you need them pls let me know - though they are very heavy indeed as you know I know it is nothing to do with them but have you tried calling vince to ask if he could shed light on what is going wrong? 5 mins with him & all could be explained

a man with a plan - tidy :D

ha ha indeed I imagine it was & true it is a definite improvement if you weren't the other end of the country I would offer you a loan of one of mine when you needed a rado fix lol

your pain is acknowledged Wullie

interesting I had never heard of a G60 Jet - thanks to google I now do http://www.corradog60.com/page/vw-corrado-g60-jet I like the sound of the no sunroof & manual windows etc though I was never a fan of the Estoril's - my mom had them on her 2.0 rado & I just didn't like them

top tip Jamie thanks :D

ha ha ha & a dash dragging behind him with all the screws etc from it jangling

excellent newsd - thank you Karmannski for persevering

PMSL id add the chains would have the tensioners dangling from them too ;)

ha ha ha that's a cracker Mic lol :D

ahhh, actually inside of the metal runner channel is a bit sketchy in terms of paint but the outer of then is body colour the VIN's on all 3 of our rado's (soon to be 2 boo hoo) are that way Jim

yup, in fact I would say they are nearly there too makes me stupidly happy ive got a pair of genuine hella fog lenses in a box ready to fit to the VR BUT also makes me think to keep them & sell them in a few years as I could probably buy another rado with the proceeds lol I am seriously considering removing the roof trims off the VR, cutting away the decomposing rubber (which from what I can tell has no actual function unless you fit a roof rack), sanding & painting the trim & then refit with car body tape after cleaning the channel after all, it is simply a gutter channel under the roof trim & said trims are only there for roof racks I have also thought about how the look would be if the roof trims were removed & the channel cleaned & polished, leaving a shiny gutter

indeed it is nuts! if for example you managed to pick up a nice rado for 4K & then these roof strips for 600 - the maths is such that the roof rails were 15% of total cost of car.....WTF!!

having recently taken out the seats in my white valver & the gf's mystic blue storm [which is parting with us on Friday :( ] I can say they metal slot into which the seat is housed (ie the runner) is body colour on both I have wondered whey the VIN's are in primer though have a look at the buyers guide I the wiki on here if you haven't already as that may answer many of your questions

am I missing something on this post?

ive got a genuine one I could take a pic of & post to compare

this is a prime example of what I was saying the other day I don't understand how people will pay SO much for ancillary items which are non functional but then people try to pay pennies for an actual corrado car if they can fecking crazy world

I have some of these in my valver I didn't realise the corrado badge was coloured though, mine is in a drawer as came off but is all black

result :D

how is the new suspension treating you m8?

spent the afternoon on sunday fitting the KUR2Y loom to the valver & changed to nice new xenon max bulbs just need to align the lights so they actually illuminate the road in front now lol

yup, shiny! though ive not used the light function yet as I always put a small block of wood on top of it prior to lifting the car lol

ha ha or NEED them cause we are lowered lol

the gf got me one of these last crimbo Mic http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liftmaster-2-25-Ton-Low-Profile-Hydraulic-Trolley-Car-Jack-with-LED-Nut-Brace-/311067452378?hash=item486d10a3da used it quite a few times & it is nice. the release turn was a tad sticky to start with but is improving such that you can lower it gently
