Just been on the phone to HIC Insurance and matey told me that provided my mods don't increase my C's performance by more than 10 BHP then they won't cost me any extra :lol: Does anyone know roughly what BHP increase you'd expect to get from the following? K&N Panel Air Filter Supersprint Mid and Back box (Big bore) from G60 Fluffy Dice :D BTW this kit is on a 1.8L 16v 1991. Cheers in advance

joebrent - I have 1.8 16v also. When I first had her I did Experiment with Standard (95 RON) Unleaded. This didn't cause any pinking in my case, but if you take the Pepsi challange with Optimax there really is a difference! Personally I prefer to pay a bit more for Optimax for the extra power - And it's one thing you don't have to declare to the insurance company! :lol:

']['H3R4POR - Yes mate easy to replace. Got mine at German and Swedish yesterday - £1+ VAT!!, If only all Corrado parts were that cheap! As G60Jet says Make sure you get the right one - The one I got is the correct dimentions but it's now orange not red! :D

Cheers Lenny! I'll go see them this afternoon :lol:

Checking all the levels at the weekend and managed to break the dipstick :crazyeyes: There's a red plastic housing about 3 inches long that the dipstick wedges into at the top of the dipstick tube. It 'come off in me hand' and snapped about halfway up this plastic housing! Is it possible to replace just the housing at the top? or am i looking at the whole new tube? Cheers

MFA Issues - Clock resetting on ignition!
James sprinter replied to James sprinter's topic in Archive
Yeh, had read on a Corrado buyers guide to watch for dodgy MFA's as an indicator for Clocking. But then I've had her for 4 months now and she was good as gold up until a couple of weeks ago!?!?! So not so sure. Does anyone have any experience of how to get this fixed? It's just a pain having to input the time once a week! :( -
MFA Issues - Clock resetting on ignition!
James sprinter replied to James sprinter's topic in Archive
yeh mine works :D , just the MFA playing up! :cry: -
Well as a CF Virgin, here goes! I have a fault with my corrado where the clock resets itself when I turn the ignition to start the car. When this happens the trip odometer and MFA info also resets, everything goes to zero's! The main odometer is not affected though and still kicks at 113k. :shock: Strangely this resetting only happens at the point of ignition and other than that the clock and trip odo are perfectly accurate, also it's a random fault and only happens on say roughly every 10th ignition! I dont think the corrado has a back up battery for the MFA? all cabin lights (including glove work) and although there's only a wanky halfords battery under the bonnet I've never had power problems Anyone had this problem and found a solution? By the way it's a 91, 1.8L 16v. Cheers in advance :cyclops2:
