Thanks for the reply Carrots , this was one of my thoughts too . Rob

Thanks David , i will have to work out how to use it . When i recieved the meter it came with a cd instead of a manual ,the cd had a big crack in it so i cant use it . I will google it and hopefully find out what is going on . It is a bosch battery i am using on the car . Rob

The battery is around 3-4 years old David . I usually drive the car at weekends and during the summer time evenings . I do have a multimeter that i bought a few months ago but have not learnt to use it yet !. So im not sure what setting to have it on and how to measure the inline current ? Regards Rob

A few small teething problems mate , im sure it wont take you long to sort these .

Robbie r32 and i fitted a kenwood unit around two weeks ago . On the saturday after fitting on a friday i had the door open for an hour and a half , while a drivers side central locking fault was sorted . With that fixed i went to start the car and the battery was flat . We used a jump pack and it started and i drove home [around 20 miles ]. I went to start the car the next day and it was flat again . So i charged the battery and used the car over the weekend with no problems , however on checking it tonight there is a loss of cranking power . I presume that the alternator is charging as i have no problems unless the car is sat for a couple of days . I had to purchase new plugs for the head unit and follow the wires to conect them to the new plug . I cant see any other reason why the battery is going flat other than the head unit is somehow draining it, as it was fine before fitting . But if i have followed the wires correctly why is it draining it ?. Something to do with the ignition live perhaps ?. I also noticed the boot light was a bit dodgy so i disconnected this on saturday . Any help is much appreciated as always . Rob

I think the early Audi TT's came without a spoiler and weren't to good at high speeds .

Thanks mate , I will have a look at the rear drainage holes . As the the seal yes it's fitted . Rob

Those pics look amazing !! Such a great example of a corrado . A long time looking for those wheels but well worth it .

I know the corrado isnt the best at getting rid of rain water , after a wash it takes an age to dry it . But after re charging my battery i was shocked at the amount of water in the battery tray area when i went to fit the battery back in . The channel which holds the wiring was near on 20mm deep in water , ive never seen it that bad before . Has any body done anything to relieve this ?. I have surface rust in this area already and im worried that with this much water sat in there any one time it rains its going to make matters a whole lot worse . Kind regards Rob

Ah , that's cleared that up then , thanks . Rob

Don't forget to have a look at the search about syncing the motor , you may have to do this . Rob

Deleted a while back now mate at Tps and Vw . Could try Vw heritage . If all else fails cut the dead rubber off and refit . They don't do much anyway . Rob

Mines the same Rog , as Jim and Harrier have said , a new motor should sort it mate .

Watching channel four this evening and the presenter keeps saying ''biscuit and hedgehog ''???!!!.Can anybody tell me what is going on . Very strange . Rob

Welcome along , plenty of info and advice on here . Rob

Welcome along .

You could eat your dinner off of that ! . Amazingly clean .

Thanks Goldie .

The ones i found online have a big difference in price . One company only charges £7.00 but only goes up to 1987. The other goes into the 90's but charges £26.00.

Not sure , the damage done is terrible .

I have just seen on Facebook that they had a fire there today . A lot if damage done to some vehicles . All staff are ok though .

How much for the lights Mr Clump ? Thanks Rob

I would be interested in one of these too . Rob

Very nice , I like them .

Ok mate , can you let me know how much please . Rob
