Ah, OK. I'll wait until the garage have looked at it. Might be something silly - but there again, knowing the Corrado.......... :eek:

Wouldn't that put the kaibosh on the car running OK until it gets warmed up? It's fine when the engine has only just been started.....

Just spoken to the garage - it's going in thursday. If anyone has any other ideas what might be causing this, would appreciate any more input you may have. Thanks.

Hi dr_mat - thanks for the input. Got 1 massive jolt just as i was arriving into work - felt like the enigine totally missed!! Going to get it booked in anyway for later this week as i need the car for the weekend.

Pretty sure i've seen a thread covering this but can't seem to find it. Started on saturday, The engine was already warm from around a 20 minute drive, and i stopped off at the shops on the way home. Went to start up again, cranked it over, and there was this kind of 'pfhht' noise which i had heard before so didn't think too much of it. Engine started perfectly on turning over the second time of asking. Yesterday, started first time, smooth as you like, but after around 15 minutes, it started to get a bit lumpy and was (what i call) kangaroo'ing like it wasn't firing propertly, then, it would be fine for a while and then revert to lumpy running again. Just been out to the car now (yes, at 6.19am!!) and again, started perfectly, smooth idle, revved up OK and sounded exactly like it usually does. Will run it into work later, and report in again if the 'kangaroo'ing / lumpyness' returns. Anyone got any ideas?? Cheers.

Wow!!

Ditto here as well.

Lolz...... that's unfortunate!! :grin:

The little sod should be strung up by the cohones..... and then beaten to within an inch of his life.

Very strange........

My mileage reached a reflective milestone today........ [ATTACH=CONFIG]91072[/ATTACH]

Looks lovely. Shame you're having to sell it.

Colin got a new pair of aeroblade wipers. And he's desperately crying out for new speakers all-round.........

Got a nod from a guy at the BP services on the A303 while driving back from Dorset yesterday afternoon. Was in the queue to pay for some petrol, and the guy gave my arm a nudge and said 'very nice Corrado you have there, must be worth a bit now'.

It DID!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: It DID!!!!!!! £55.00 and the job's a good'un!!

Might be the Thermal Fuse that's gone. You can get them in maplins and it's quite an easy job to do yourself.

Oooo errr....... MOT next week.......... arrrgggghhhh!!!!

Hope you enjoy it when it's on the road...... roaring!!

Thanks Matey!! Much appreciated. Will let you know after the weekend...... i think my one is royally f**ked to be honest!!

Thanks guys. I'll take a look at this when i have some time next weekend.

Okey Dokey - many thanks for you help! That does make sense. Let's see if i can fix it!! Cheers Nick

OK Guys, this bit is located behind the plastic panel that covers all the workings of the rear wipe and spoiler mechanisms on the rear hatch. The round 'washer' shaped bit looks to have detached itself from the back (it looks like it was only glued on!) and the bigger bit, i'm guessing goes through the hole on the panel - but as i said, i'm only guessing. The large bit with the interior spring does not appear that it should be attached to anything so what this is, and does is a total mystery to me. [ATTACH=CONFIG]89714[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]89717[/ATTACH] CLearly the round 'washer' has detached itself from where it should be (picture 1) and the other bit was rattling around in the read where the wiper and spoiler mechanisms are. Can anyone help? Thanks Nick

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ rather fancy i would as well........
