    Webasto night heaters are handy if you feel the cold at night. you dont need a big one and and ex truck 24v with a dropper works fine.

    How about using some ordinary washing powder disolved into some hot water rub in to cloth upholstry etc then wipeing off with a towel,thats how we used to do it before all this valet stuff came around. Just dont barf when you see all the dirt. Neutradol used to do a smoke smell mask as well. Removing all and steam cleaning is the ultimate answer if you have time.

    so you got fuel and no spark? if you got a spare valver swop over the ignition amp its the wafer up by the ECU. failing that easy fix its probably the dizzy

    Lucas or LS uk or whatever they call themselves this week, they sell waterproof stuff,My polybag effort didnt work for long. Shrink wrapped everything and modded fuse holders with waterproof ones.

    One is for vented rears,you just want the standard disc calipers. Its a great upgrade,no more dodgy calipers/handbrake etc I think the good ladies have been on 5 years and zero problems. Used a goodridge mk2-mk4 kit,fitted a new handbrake cable too, ya dont have to but might as well saves ripping it to bits again. Its a Top3 thing to do to a Corrado

    mine had a whine, I just changed the fuel filter underneath to help it breath more.

    The handbrake side of the rears started playing up 5 years ago,so replaced them with mk4's and a C+R kit,replaced hadbrake cable to and no problem since. Made of alloy instead of steel is the reason why I dont get hassle with mk4 rear callipers. Good to know even if buying a corrado if the handbrake is like really upright you can be sure a calliper is knackered. :nuts: :dorky:

    I wish I had the time to do it. My wheels practically cry to me every two weeks to be cleaned. :dorky:
