  1. Does it rev hard? its either fuel/fueling or had lack of fuel in it. slow to rev sounds like timing. god he must have been hard on it
  2. Fraid the corrados were too old for cs units Ive contemplated fitting a six stack myself. but just went for a blue screened pioneer mp3 player instead
  3. I got a mitsi as well £510 required for its next service if they find nothing wrong. Plus the MOT at £50+ I think hers was £250 with new rear discs n pads and hers is a 89 corrado,I think its like any car pay more for a good one. SInce weve had ours its had tyres,calipers,brakes and an ignition module. The rest were fitted as precaution . Still cheap for what it is. with little depreciation compared to a newer car
  4. Is it the electrical part ( the very bottom?) I think theres a wiki on here how to do it
  5. I liked the drive of the a4 and the 170 diesel is a monster.
  6. Yes Ive replaced with sealey waterproof fuseholders and so far Ive never had a problem since. :D
  7. Dont smash anything,its quite easy to change. All you require is some screw drivers and a very small one you can if possible bend at the end to reach the captive screw. Just dont over tighten this little one as someone might have to replace it again. I changed mine with little effort in about 20 minutes. It didnt need replacing but after reading them being a common I changed it. There is a guide on here and if you stick to it,its easy peasy.
  8. Terrible... I hope the car turns up intact.
  9. 9/10 the Mrs drives the car and I take whats left. shes driven it for nearly four years and wouldnt swop it for anything else. All I do is maintain it,wash,hoover and wax it :changes: :brickwall: Anyway its a valver and is very easy on the wallet.
  10. The gulf of Finland beach looks nice; Sorry I am a bloke. It must the northern lights where it never gets dark. That would be some drive for the old girl. chubbz
  11. Hi Anton, Not a clue about the suspension but I did like the Headline to come here and read :-) Where in Scotland are you?
  12. Well worthy of a visit for one of your paint Jobs :-)
  13. Turbo and intercooler are better suited for Diesels More oomph!
  14. Unsure if Andy allows direct links So replace the *** with msk http://volkswagen.***.ru/index.php?p=page09_cr Cheers
  15. what a bummer,it could have been you dan Hows the golf coming?
  16. Maybe I better add priced in with the service. But its like £10 a litre.
  17. afaik only on the net, hardly surprising as how could they say the price on the telly without making peoples balls feel numb and thinking HOW much!
  18. Bp's ultimate is batched seperately its not just a gallon of additive chucked in when the tankers on the bay at the terminal. Unsure about V power as I dont work for shell,I tend to use the shell stuff as its pretty good comapred to 95ron. The old car doesnt pink with 95a surprisingly as I thought according to the book it should run on 98 anyway. So for me Im only running it on what its supposed to be run on. My mitsi should be run on super+ too :nuts:
  19. After reading supercharged thread on these bulbs being BOGOFF and blowing a bulb last saturday night (typical; No posing round town at 1am) I went and bought two for £14.99 at halfords, a Place I dont normally frequent. But I have to say with An upgraded loom with waterproof fuseholders these Bulbs are a major Improvement on OEM and OEM+headlight loom that was fitted before,its more Brighter and a whiter light. With Two ordinary bulbs for £10 in there in a dual pack its a no Brainer to pay the extra fiver for such a big difference. I didnt bother upgrading the inners as they were £19 for h3's if thats the right fitting. Thanks To All posters,Yandards + Supercharged
  20. I think they are more of a clear glass. A prudent move would be cover them in acetate film to take the edge off potential cracking.
  21. Just checked insurance for a car,standard is £500 ANy chassis problems and at our old cars age it would be written off ( Hypothetically speaking ) Good luck
  22. I think your a good mate to have; always good for a mechanic on road test saga 8)
