my girlfreind thought it was really funny to take pics of me in the freezing cold when snowing lol

where about in WA are you mate ? i lived there for 2 years and will be going back in around 6 months when my visa is sorted ( lived in wanneroo just outside joondalup ) nice car btw :D

oops lol all fixed haha that would be the final straw

ive been reading loads of old threats and have just extended my list of things that could be the problem steering was really loose and sloppy on my rado when i bought it so i replaced the 2 front wishbones with lower ball joints and topmounts it rides better over bumps in the sense that theses no banging or knocking sensation , but i seem to have brought bigger problem(s) to light ... on the passangers side when i ride over bumps the steering feels VERY loose (i can feel free play from somthing on that side ) under hard accelaration and hard braking it is almost dangarous how much the car wanders over the road (again theres a delay in the stering corection because of free play ) ment to say that on cold mornings (everyday now lol ) the steering sticks powersteering problem ? and there a creeking noise normaly when im close ( or on ) full lock (both ways ) part of the problem ? iv tryed play in wheel bearings - fine trackrod ends - fine regards - jack

spotted a red rado in falkirk (scotland) yestarday on the bypass up from the falkirk football stadium midday somtime , gave a flash (hahah i know what your thinking ) but was at the last min , anyone ?

if only i had the money ............ :)

i was so impressed with that first pic ive put it in my fav " rado pic folder " lol good job , clean smart looking car

thanks for the replies guys :) will take them on board when i make my mind up 8) am i right in saying that a car made with PAS that is not working , will be harder to steer than a car with a manual rack ? cheers - jack

lol , i know what your thinking but it's only at stand still that it's hard(er) but on the move it feels so much better ( in my opinion that is :) )

just wondering if i could put a non PAS rack in my rado from a seat ( i know folks on here that use the seat PAS rack ) to be honest i really liked the feel from both of my 205 gti's(without PAS) would mean i could ditch all the other heavey , leaky , power sapping parts that are required to run ...... any thoughts ? ment to add mines is a 36 spline regards - jack

hey as above im a complete noob to vw's (was once a pug a honda man :cuckoo: lol ) and landed myself a 1990 corrado (just for a change) bt it seems ive jumped in a the deep end .... the car was onc a 1800 16v but in the past somone has put a 2000cc 16v in there ......NOW me beeing a noob i have no idea about anything lol 1/ where do i find engine/gearbox numbers ? 2/ are all golf , corrado 16v parts able to be interchanged (i ask this because i had to swap the starter motor out and it had a 1800 starter on it )? and also im looking to put a 4 branch manifold and full exaust system on it where could a get one fo a half decent price ?(and will it be a prob due to the engine swap ?) thanks to all replies jack :)
