  1. seeing as I get a Ford employee discount, I'm seriously considering putting my order in for one of these!! http://www.focusrs500.com/img/wallpapers/1280x1024/FORDFOCUSRS500_WALLPAPER_1280x1024_09.jpg
  2. Went to the parking office to make the payment. I asked the guy behind the protective glass if he could tell me what the "clearly visible" permit number on my permit referenced? him "I am not at liberty to share this information" me "So will you at least admit that the permit number, which was not obscured in any way, confirms whether or not the permit is valid?" him "if you would like to dispute the matter, please fill out the appropriate form" me "I will be disputing the matter. I'm just asking you a simple question. Does the permit number, which was clearly visible at all times, tell you on your system that the permit was valid" him "As I have already stated, if you have any issues, please fill out the appropriate form" me "ok fine - do you enjoy your job?" him "it is of no concern whether I enjoy my job or not, and I will simply refuse to attend to you if you continue to be confrontational" YOU CAN'T WIN! and to top it off I had to wait an hour and half for them to come and unclamp it! :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:
  3. I think the Roc R is sex on wheels!
  4. a mate said he has an angle grinder and will just go and chop it off for me...... I guess I could just turn up 10 minutes later and drive off "assuming the clampers have seen sense and taken the clamp off for me" ??
  5. C**TS!!!!!!!!!!! I parked round my grandparents house this morning (outside their garage I might add!) and have just been told I've been clamped, and have to pay £110! Why? Because apparantly the residents car permit I had on the dashboard was......wait for it....... "Partially obscured"!!!! low life scum!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words: :bad-words:
  6. can anyone tell me the part number for the ABS bulb please? thanks
  7. Dinkus could you please verify.....when you say turn the ignition on, do you mean turnit so the lights come on (or do you mean actually start the engine?) From the post I read it to mean that you start the engine, then turn off the engine but so that the lights are still on? After all, how would anything happen if you switched the lights on, then switched them off completely (as thought the key was not in the ignition) and then expect the fan to come on after bridging B and D on the cable? Sorry, just need some clarification....after all, I've tried bridging the black cable that controls the stage 3 fan before and nothing happened (even though my stage 3 was working at the time!) cheers.
  8. well I put my new thermostat housing and seals on the car, and thought I'd try out the fans after clearing the fault codes (ABS ones) with VAGCOM........and now none of the fans come on!! At least before stage 3 was working...now nothing! Back to the drawing board :scratch:
  9. Well I bought meself a soldering iron at lunchtime, and I've got the fan controller off the car....any idea how I open the thing? :scratch: :scratch:
  10. No still waiting for postie to deliver my ODB cable.....hopefully it might turn up tomorrow or staturday morning :) Will take off the controller and have a look inside that as well... I assume it's self explanitory getting the thing off?
  11. but surely my stage 3 fan wouldn't come on at all if I had a faulty controller? :scratch:
  12. ok I am so confused with this.....I've found the correct connecter....just near the bottom of the battery....but no matter what I try bridging, I get nothing...... but asisde from then, even when I bridge the two points in the black tem sender, the stage 3 fan does not come on?????? but yet I know the stage 3 fan works, because when the car gets up to around 115degrees it comes on....so why is it not working when I bridge the two connectors? All I get is a weird clicking noise from the rad controller box near the coolant bottle? makes no sense to me :(
  13. If you have a VAGCOM cable and need to check the fault codes, the VAGCOM and ODB II fault codes can be found here: 0 No issues detected 257 ABS Inlet Valve - Left Front (N101) 258 P0753 Shift Solenoid 1 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N88) 259 ABS Inlet Valve - Right Front (N99) 260 P0758 Shift Solenoid 2 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N89) 261 ABS Inlet Valve - Rear (N103) 262 P0763 Shift Solenoid 3 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N90) 263 Transmission 0107 - Machanic/Hydraulic Malfunction 264 P0748 Shift Solenoid 4 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N91) 265 ABS Outlet Valve - Left Front (N102) 266 P0773 Shift Solenoid 5 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N92) 267 ABS Outlet - Right Front (N100) 268 P0748 Shift Solenoid 6 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N93) 269 ABS Outlet Valve - Rear (N104) 270 P1778 Shift Solenoid 7 - Open Circuit or Short to Ground or B+ (N94) 271 See VW Service Manual (Repair group 1) 273 ABS Inlet Valve - Right Rear (N133) 274 ABS Outlet Valve - Left Rear (N134) 275 ABS Outlet Valve - Right Rear (N135) 276 ABS Outlet Valve - Right Rear (N136) 277 ABS Inlet or Outlet Valve - Left Front (N137) 278 ABS Main Valve (N105) 279 Differential Lock Valve 1 (N125) 280 Differential Lock Valve 2 (N126) 281 Vehicle Speed Sensor - No Signal (G68) 282 Throttle Position Actuator -V60 283 P1711 ABS Wheel Speed Signal #1 (Left Front) - Range/Performance - G47 284 ABS Inlet or Outlet Valve - Right Front - N138 285 P1716 ABS Wheel Speed Signal #2 (Right Front) - Range/Performance - G45 286 ABS Inlet or Outlet Valve - Left Front - N139 287 P1721 ABS Wheel Speed Signal #3(Right Rear) - Range/Performance (G44) 289 ABS Inlet or Outlet Valve - Right Rear (N140) 290 P1726 ABS Wheel Speed Signal #4 (Left Rear) - Range/Performance.

    VAG.COM Lead

    Get this OBDII lead and one of these 2x2 adaptor Then download a version of Vagcom from Rosstech. So just to confirm, I have a '95 corrado Storm - my connector under the gaitor is a rectangular connector, so I only need to buy a ODBII cable, and I don't need to buy the 2x2 connector??
  15. Can someone help me with this!! I'm struggling with which plug the rad sender plug is! :cuckoo: The only traingle-shaped plug I can see is the one on the right-hand side of the engine above and to the right of where the leads go in the coil pack? Tried bridging the plug with a paper clip and got nothing. Anyone got a picture of this plug so I can see exactly where it is? Also, I tried bridging the plug in the black plug, and nothing again....which is weird because I know my stage 3 fan works, as it kicks in at around 115 degrees (it's stage one and two I'm having issues with!) When you say turn the ignition, you don't mean I have to actually start the engine do you? The reason I'm asking is because my coil pack and thermostat is currently off the car! God I'm so rubbish around cars!! :help: :help: :help:

    Water Leak

    So just to confirm, these are the only seals you need for the thermostat housing itself? I thought there might be a seal between the thermostat housing and the cover (as well as the thermostat O-ring) ??
  17. ok well I managed to eventually get the thermostat housing out..... the seal rings around the edges have completely worn away (you can see the bit of the rubber dangling down in the pic!) which will hopefully explain the reason I am losing coolant fingers crossed! The seal around the plastic that holds the thermostat itself has also withered away so will need replacing I popped the thermostat itself into a pan of boiling water and it opened and closed ok, so guess it should be ok, but the rubbery seal around the top of it is looking a bit battered (not sure if you can make it out properly in the pic below - its a bit of a manky brown colour) - can i buy this seperately or do I need a new thermostat?? Anyone know how I can test the blue/yellow temp sensors are working correctly, now they are out the car?
  18. Anyone know what this cable might be? It was hanging loose near the Yellow/Blue temp sensors
  19. Ok after looking through the "cooling thread" sticky..... I realise theres an issue with the fans.....seems like only "stage 3" fan works.....ie when it gets to 115degrees the big loud fans kick in :( So I have a coolant leak and a fan issue! :gag: I've had this car for less than two months and already its become the least reliable car I've ever owned! Still wouldn't change it for the world though! :D :D
  20. Hey guys, I've been having an issue with the Corrado getting pretty hot (especially when sat in traffic!) often up to 110 degrees plus. It tends to drop back down to 100 degrees or so when driving normally, and down to maybe 90 when on the motorway. Now I don't have any steam or anything coming from the engine......but the coolant level seems to be dropping (having to top up ever 3-4 days) so am guessing theres a small crack or leak somewhere. Found a good thread about rplacing a thermostat housing here: http://the-corrado.net/.archive/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=55166&hilit=thermostat+housing with tips how to replace the housing, so have just ordered a new housing, seeing as it could most likely do with a replacement anyway! My questions are: 1. What does the blue temp sensor do? and how do I know if my one needs replacing? 2. Same question for the yellow temp sensor! :) 3. I've heard debates about getting a 70 degree or 80 degree sensor - seeing as I mostly do motorway driving, does that mean I should ge the 80 degree one?? 4. based on the problems I've described, does it sound like replacing the thermostat/housing/sensors and checking for any cracks in pipes and leaks around o-rings will resolve the issue with the cooland level dropping?? Sorry for being a complete div.....I really am a novice when it comes to car engines (but am enjoying the learning curve as I go along :) )
  21. Last I heard this was now on a Volkswagen Transporter van (waste!) Anyone know the owner of this van, and why doesn't he sell it??
  22. Has anyone swapped the entire shell of their corrado? I have little dinks and donks on practically every panel, and wondered if it would work out cheaper just to buy a new shell? Anyone ever had this done?
  23. Guys forgive my lack of knowledge around cars, but can anyoneone first of all help me identify what this is hanging down underneath my car (seems to be hanging too low to me?) and secondly, if it is hanging too low, any suggestions on the best way to fix it? :D cheers
  24. done the bowden cable this morning! :D Thankfully I didn't have to take the whole dash out.... Just removed the drivers seat so I could lay on my back.... then onhooked one end of the cable (up near the clutch) and retainer clip, then took out the passenger shelf and the car stereo.....then from the passenger side, stuck a flat blade scredriver up to the retaining clip to pop it off, then fed the new cable through and put it back together. Loads of stratches on my hands, and the dial is still quite stiff when twisting to screen vent, but at least it works properly now :D
  25. I have a corrado storm and the ceiling inside (which is some kinda off-white colour) is really grubby. Any good tips on getting nice and clean again?
