I'll take it! PM inbound

Hi is the suspension still for sale? What condition is it in? Many thanks

Sorry about the late reply! Unfortunately by the time I get them refurbished and new rubber they will be out of my budget....Well the wifes allowance.... Great wheels and a great price, GL

Sorry I mean Willdub!

If Roger isnt interested and no one else has mentioned I will definitely take it and can collect.

Hi, are these 5x100? Very interested! Cheers

Great wheels! Gutted to have missed bidding time by 10 mins!!!

Well it's confirmed I have a dead fan! Removed it and did a direct 12V feed to the fan and nothing!!!! Very high resistance on continuity check as well... Eurocarparts or GSF here I come!!! Thanks for your advice, was helpful in checking in a logical manner. It also give me the opportunity to change the heater control bulb and generally clean it all up.

Thanks Fendervg for the advice, managed to trace some broken wires in between the fan switch and the fan. All correctly repaired now. Fan still doesn't work on any setting! I suspect it has may have afailed or there is a loose or dry solder joint. I had a look at the bentley wiring diagram and would i be right in saying the fan should work on position 4 as this enters after the resistors in series on the fan, that is if it was the resistor that had failed? Dont mind soldering and component changing on pcb's, not done it in a long time so the solder will be big!!!

Decided to focus on checking the wiring around the heater fan switch and connector and again at the actual fan connector to see if there was an obvious problem. With all connectors made and the fan speed selector to off, i had a steady 12V at the supply cable terminal of the fan switch connector and 0V at the rest which is a good start! I then selected position 1 on the switch and was getting 12V at all the output terminals of the switch connector... My first thought was that the switch may have failed creating a short, so i decided to unplug the switch from the connector and unplug the fan connector as well to check individually. With a shorting link between supply and position 1, i checked for 12V which was present, however when i checked the pin at the fan connector end it was reading 230mV! Did a continuity check between earth and the fan connector pin for position 1 and it was 0 ohms... Confirmed short circuit!!! I think two or more of the four wires from the fan switch to the motor have fused together or been damaged. Can anyone confirm the routing of these wires if possible? I believe they run from the back of the heater controls up towards the instrument combing past the ABS warning light and then the four settings wires split and go over the top of the heater controls, the glove box and then drop towards the fan? Can anyone confirm this? Has this happened to anyone else? May have been caused by wites overheating due to the fan bearings wearing out. Any views appreciated. Will keep you all posted on progress

Had a search and couldnt hit on anything definitive. Has anyone had an issue with ABS light not lighting when the stereo is powered on initial start up? Recently bought the car and everything works except the stereo which was unplugged at the ISO connectors to the rear of the stereo. They havent been spliced or modified from new. I am working my way through the list of issues still to resolve and this was next on the list. Basically when the ISO connectors are disconnected my ABS light comes on and goes off as it should, however when i plug in the ISO connectors it fails to light at all. I suspect a wiring gremlin behind the fuse box is the issue but before i start buzzing out cables and checking voltages I was wondering if anyone else has seen this? To add to the suspect wiring, the previous owner had a Clifford Alarm removed by an auto electrician as it was faulty. I really think the root cause may lay in there but i have a small glimmer of hope its something more simple.... Second issue Is a very intermittent fan. Doesnt work on any setting in general but occasionally kicks in and works on all settings when out driving. Going to check voltages and connections at the switch and resistor pack. Again any advice would be great before the fluke is awoken

Hi if Rado87 for some reason doesnt want it then I would take it. I'm sure Rado87 is all over it though.. 👍

Thanks all, I picked the motor up from EBay. I was in contact with the guy selling early on and agreed in principle to buy without viewing.... It was risky but he had owned it 8 years and sent lots of honest pictures of the bad bits. I intend on getting it to a high standard with some minor mods such as improved suspension, bushes and wheels, probably some horsepower increase when I overhaul the engine. Otherwise keeping it looking standard. When it will all happen depends on how I can hide funds from other priorities like the wife, other cars, son, house lol. Likewise pictures to follow once I get it out the garage and figure out how to upload them! Currently have the back window out repairing some rust around the bottom corner. Tailgate and bonnet desperately need painted before it will be seen in public again.... I am just along the road in Ingleby Barwick. Will be good to get to know some of the local

I will get some taken soon and get them on here. Bit embarrassed about the bonnet and tailgate! The previous owner sprayed them to prevent rust. My honest opinion is that a travel rug has a better finish and is more colour coordinated!!! It's only paint though and I aim to get a complete re spray in a year or two once fully restored. Will do a home job in the mean time to make it more presentable. Back window out at the moment to repaint tailgate and check for underlying rust.

Well it's true what most say on here about returning to Corrado ownership! I have came back for a second bite and can't stop smiling!!! I sold my previous corrado, a Satin Silver 92 G60 back in 2008 due to lack of storage and the need to get something that could do big commuting miles. I always regretted not finding a storage facility for it because it was absolutely immaculate!! Unfortunately the guy I sold it to managed to wreck it over the next two years, luckily I was told about it and not there to witness the destruction in person... I have now taken ownership of a Mystic Blue Storm. It needs some TLC and paint but otherwise mechanically excellent. Last owner an elderly gent who did no more than 1000 miles a year over the last 8 years. My plan is to slowly overhaul each area whilst getting out in between these projects and enjoying ownership again!!! Hopefully getting along to some shows to say hello and get some advice from the experts!
