check to see if this circlip is still there? if not you`ll get lots of L/R play with difficulties with 1st/reverse as you said

Scruffythefirst, if you wanna finance the ordeal then i`ll be getting sonia car back soon and you can go crazy!!! :D

car is dirty but...my new plates!

solid doesnt sound too good to me, as i understand it you are meant to have SOME flex?? BTW i have no real idea just a bit of common sense, i hope!! :lol:

see i told you so!!!!

thats what i thought too! i`ve got a rear ARB on my wish list!! comprimise everyday driving....dont you get shed loads of wheelspin??? surely that will comprimise things?? LSD, 4WD .... i bet there all on your shopping list!! 8)

BlackberryVR6, i think youre gonna be a valuable addition to the forum! :wink: you may be getting some PM`s soon (if you dont mind)from me and others!

thats damn unlucky mate i cant really offer any advice just a bit of sympathy and i hope you get it all sorted ASAP probably worth seeing a solicitor, all sales have got to be honest so if he didnt tell you something which you asked about then i think you`ve probably got a good case! how much did you pay and is it worth doing Hpi or RAC check or something to back you up!? good luck mate dont let it put you off the corrado`s!

hey kevs your man to talk about arb`s do a search for: neuspeed ARB with author: kevhaywire just came up with 30-odd relevant matches 28mm if your brave sticks in my mind!!!!!

that is very cool, just how i`d like mine to look, apart from the ride hight cos it`d be impossible on my local roads :lol: have always loved them wheels too... and yes that clean back end looks mighty fine!! 8) 8) 8)

it is a bargain for buy back, but i`m still gonna push for more ££££, got lots of examples to fax to him tommorrow to show what its worth!! i`ll let you know!!

i posted about this before and there`s a post about it somewhere(help) IIRC 3 or 5mm tape from a model shop is the best to use???

that looks like a very cool car i`d snap it up if i had the wedge!!! 8)

i hope he didnt have the pink car before!! cue a lot of p!ss taking if he did :lol: :lol:

well just spoke to insurance fellah and he offered me £1250 for the corrado £216 for the buy back! said i wasnt happy with the value and he got a bit arsey saying "well, 1990, 127K blah blah blah,said i wanted to refuse the offer and would fax him examples of the cars value, said i had another one so i know the actual value and that finding a replacement is getting more and more difficult, he then changed his tone and said he wouldnt process the report until he heard from me and probably not send the report til friday so i wouldnt have to pay for storage etc so that cheered me up a bit! anyone been in a similar situation?? i told him i wanted £2k for the car and he said it was unreasonable is it just a case of argueing my case saying i want an equivalent car help/advice greatly appreiciated!! ben
