Yeah you can see it was a designed piece for the car. Does it have a noticeable effect running it without? In other words, if I don't refit it will it be noticeable? Thanks for your compliment, it'll be having some paintwork over winter to bring it up to scratch thanks to lacquer peel.

Does anyone know what this mystery block of iron that weighs a ton is about was bolted to part of the front subframe to gain access to the exhaust manifold? Needed?

So the last few days have seen the head taken off, revealed blocked water veins in the block, manky head gasket, bore wear commensurate with 119,000 miles (but all even), numerous leaking gaskets to manifolds and rocker cover, 3 of the 8 hydraulic lifter seized. Got a G60 specific Newman cam and new lifter set, taken for fitting to the head to Modus http://modusengineservices.co.uk in Langton Green/Tunbridge Wells. But first they'll be doing a full reconditioning of the head, plus include port matching of the inlet manifold. Got a Hella OE radiator last weekend too...

Well after being put aside for two and a half years SORN because of the MOT failure work to get her back on the road is just starting. The whole cooling system is being renewed, including Samco Classic Black pipework, radiator and heater matrix, header tank, slimline fan. Mocal Oil cooler being fitted and junking the water jacket. PWR charger cooler being fitted in replacement of the standard intercooler. A 4-branch manifold and new exhaust system is in preparation, with solid front engine mount. Audi S2 G60 twin pot brakes for the fronts, with Goodridge braided brakelines everywhere else. Plans to renew all bushes with Polybushes. There are plans for a Cam, probably a Newman item. Over the winter she needs paint to fix small rust and lacquer problems. And the BBS will be split and built up with 16" inners and outers from some OZ Vega' I've had in storage since SORNing. Best get busy, but no rush ultimately.

Don't quote me on this but I think you can replace the rack with a polo variant, it would however mean you'd loose the adjustment feature of the Corrado's rack but gain better feel... Search it, something should come up. ---------- Post added at 5:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 5:48 PM ---------- http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?41317-fitting-a-non-adjustable-steering-column-%28how-to%29&highlight=polo+rack

PM'd you Rhys...

Hi mate, welcome. Like dragon green, I'm in Tonbridge too. So another local enough to you...Give me a shout if you need.

I'll take these...PM'd

Would you do them for £50 posted?

When I did mine i stood over the wing and pulled the clip back towards my body (so the clip basically goes toward the water run off area in the scuttle). Long flat head works. Try pressing the cover down to take any pressure of the clip and then pry off...

Thats what I thought. Just wanted to be sure. How does this spacer affect the fitment of the wheel if the wheel isn't supported on the hub flange, if at all? Cheers

Don't suppose these are hub-centric being 5mm are they? If they are I'll take em...posted. If not, I'll think about it.

Good condition as far as I can remember. Been in storage for ages, not used it as I've got any early spec interior... I'll dig it out if you are interested. Where are you in the UK?

I think I have a passenger side one knocking about, but thats all. If its of any help PM me...

paid...
