Andy can you pm the pics or put them on your gallery as SOme are a bit small to read Cheers Roy

Driven a RS200 and a RS500 Rs200 had a misfire and I only used the first two gears. Had the RS500 flat out in top. As for owning a Cosworth of course,oh and a mk1 turbo escort :-D A long time ago back before I had kids,eldest is 15 now lol chubbz

My record is 47 minutes Inverness To Ballinuig :D (82 miles) Just watch for the red,blue and white vans parked in the laybys

Try coming up the A9, its a 100 mile stretch between Inverness and Perth Tesco,Asda,Morrisons,Calorgas are a few that I can ring off, that Do stick to the national speed limit for Lgv's as they now call them. Chicken and Egg really.... You can speed or get done with having miles of traffic behind you,let common sense prevail. Also trucks from Ireland, Gurnsey and Jersey don't have to have speed limiters fitted. Any Truck in the European union should have a speed limiter fitted,be it Craibs in Aberdeen or willi betz out of Germany. Gurnsey and Jersey,unsure how large they are could use the 25 mile rule and work by Uk regs; My old Mob goes to Jersey and use a Tacho. Speed limiters are not easily disconnected if they are they have been using computer software changing the settings on the ECU. Its not as easy as it used to be, when you used to just remove the fuse,nothing needed to be undone. Anyone,speeding is doing themselves out of money,if your paid by the hour obviously. It is possible to do 60 mph in a hgv even if going down a slight decline,weight momentum etc. Soon enough 7.5 tonners will have limiters and also any van as well so they day of the white van man are coming to an end. Same as tachos,the new trucks now have the chip tachos,so if your illegal to drive it wont let you ( as in too many hours etc) obviously they are an option,so some companies dont fit if they dont have to. after all this regulation, I thought sod it and got a job on the tankers at the airport. Sorted ! chubbz

YOu can get standalone sat navs from £99 in comet and halfrauds

Check the rubber seal is actually sitting in the base of the cap in the right place,they are known to not seat right. what temps is it showing. I replaced the waterpump,thermostat along with G12 as a precaution and even I managed it. I would also consider checking if the radiator is blocked. I would also check the oil for water contamination Roy

swop the pipes over and take it from there dont these have twin output pumps?

Both quite Rare Struan. Good sightings me thinks...

If any of you guys can get your hands on CTFR concentrated traffic film remover. that works a treat too.

Err ok,on early models try getting out in a hurry and not kick the speaker cover off and the stupid rear wiper needs to be 'switched' twice for one wipe! lol

I used to pur redex thru the top of carbs and watch it all come out the exhaust ( well if you could see the back of the car) also pour it into the spark plugs holes and see more carbon. I always thought it was banned as it was full of lead,obviously I was wrong. chubbz

It will always be your car Jay, You need another to start again with though. Glad your sorted Roy

Sorry about this dinkus.... Wouldnt it bash out and would save taking the wing off?

failing that swop the bulbs over and see if they work opposite you might know you need a new bulb.

Do a search for headlight loom its a must do if you own a corrado as the headlights are crap with its original wireing. only 11 odd volts manage to make it to the bulbs and the newer loom with relays etc boosts it back up so you can actaully see where your going and change that dull dull yellow light back to white. so use the search !!

I saw a new Honda today,vaguely similar to its concept very vague actually

I thought you could tow on motorways,why not ?

OptimaX is your friend :-D

get the banjo conversion kit from C+R Mk4 calipers,just the ordinary ones. You can use corrado pads too. I changed the handbrake cable whilst I was at it. There is a long exhaustive thread here talking about mm's of differance between certain kinds of vw pads,I kept it simple and cheaper. Roy

Id consider going for mk4 calipers with goodridge hoses,the wifes car hada caliper seize and we have never had trouble since with the mk4's thats a £100+ in parts already. you could as said before nip up the back wheel bearings,were they noisy ? Our exhaust had a hole in it too,we just gum gummed it and its still holding a year later,I just cant justify £200 for a stainless one for the end. At the end of the day mate, are you keeping it or selling it? Thats how I tend to decide if Im keeping up with it or giving in. Roy

Id agree why fix up a valver when you can get what you really want.

Anyone see the sti wagon on 5th gear? thats yummy,probably the coolest estate out there and I do like your new car rossco,as its standard tbh chubz

does the sill guard goto the outside or the inside ?

Shame your in NZ the search might help you

are they the real thing ? if they are I would watch the auction just to see how high in value they go.
