Hi - welcome to the forum :) There is only one Bentley Manual for the Corrado, but unfortunately it only covers US cars - the G60 and the SLC (VR6). And of course is all LHD and includes stuff you'd never need to know about, such as the electronic seatbelts and air conditioning. But that said, it's about the best workshop manual you can get for the Corrado and will help you no end - so worth paying for!

Save yourself £100 :) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GTR-Badge-S13-S14-GTS-GTR-350Z-SKYLINE-NISSAN-PULSAR-/250656902356?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a5c50ccd4

It's a bit of a joke that, because the car is so expensive, they feel they can justify charging equally inflated prices for things like badges.. which realistically won't have cost them any more than a few quid to make!

It'll be on the back of a Corsa before you know it mate!
-
REALLY wish they'd send you a reminder for the MOT, like they do for the bloody car tax!
-
Hope it's worth the wait. I promise the next issue won't be so far away!

Good stuff :) I got the box of surplus issues delivered earlier this week and was wondering when they'd start landing at folks houses :)
-
Glad you're just side-stepping for another Corrado, Andy.. I was about to see if I could take out some kind of court injunction to prevent you from buying any more as you've clearly got some kind of chemical imbalance in your head ;)

Am I the official forum historian or something Del? :) Yeah.. must be at least 5 years ago.. I'm thinking Jan / Feb 2006 some time... was before I got my red Corrado which was at Stonor Park in 2006...

Sigh :( Not sure what it is but the milder weather seems to have bought the opportunists out.. a friend of mine just had his house done over the other day for some MacBooks! I suppose you should be thankful for small mercies, that they didn't damage the paint and just screwed the locks up. Time for some Passat handles?

Welcome aboard! Keep your eyes peeled.. we sometimes have meets and get togethers over in Coventry or down Worcester way.. you're well placed to go to either!

Agreed about Eddie Jordan. I think the commentary team is excellent.. we're very lucky to have former drivers and team bosses as part of the team which give us great access to the teams and the drivers! I thought Coulthard and Brundle seemed a bit chippy and frosty with each other on several occasions thoughout the day though!

I hand bent all the brake lines for a friends G60 successfully without kinking any of them.. though I must admit I'm trying to remember whether that was before or after he crashed the car at the Nurburgring... :| You are better off with a pipe bending tool but as has been said, if you just take your time with them you should be ok!
-
Yep... would say that sounds very much like a warped disc!

Early or late interior mate..?

What a race. Amazing! I really thought (and did hope) Schumacher was going to get a podium.. real shame he didn't. And I nearly wet myself when that marshall ran out on track to clear debris and ended up falling over TWICE. I thought for one scary minute he was gonna get hit but thankfully he just ended up looking like a plum! :)
-
Seems to be working OK for me at the moment.. nice and speedy too :)
-
Incredible how far car safety has come to simply walk away from something as huge as that!

If you're a garage apprentice then I presume you're pretty young.. I'd say that unless you're pretty rich you're wasting your time as trying to insure yourself on a Corrado VR6 with a turbo fitted (and likely pushing out 350BHP+) is going to be pretty difficult. I'm 30, have 10 years no claims and live in a quiet area and put my car on a driveway and pay £650 to insure a virtually standard Corrado VR6!! :(

Problem with VR6 slightly overheating with rising Oil Pressure
Jim replied to RW1's topic in Engine Bay
So were you getting oil weeping out because the system was over-pressurised? -
Weird timing.. my power steering pump is on the way out!

Is there EVER bad feedback for your stuff Dave? :)
