Vince i still got your two new ones sitting in my office! do you want them dropping off next week?

took the headlights out and cleaned out 15 years of grime! the took the eadlights apart and gave them a good clean!

cars looking sweet matt! love the polished rims! 8)

Abdul sorry you had to let the car go! and feel even worse for the way it worked out for ollie! :( unlucky for both of you!

Cheers I'm happy getting it back too! Pic up parts tomorrow :)

I'm still checking it of a full tank but can't say its noticeable so far....

we think it was the immobilizer, but there was also some connections at the back of the fuse box not in place. we were going to remove the immobilizer all together but as we could not get it to repeat the issue we have left it for now! everything has been fine over the week at DG strange but a good result, no cost! bonus!! :D

So the car is back at home after a week down at DG. the car has been running without issue! :D enjoyed the drive home, its good to get it back! next plans almost complete and will get some pics up as soon as i have it fitted out! the bonnet bra arrived (bought off the forum) pleased with it and will try it on tomorrow! hopefully no more stone chips on those long runs!

:D

Yeah think that what I'm going to do Jon..

sounds familiar

Thanks dan so graham got back to DG without incident! he tried pushing the engine without flaw! all sounds good! so we are down to the immobilizer being the problem for cutting the engine and no restart!! so tomorrow the wiring is going to be checked out before we make a decision! the immobilizer was an issue on the install! so do we take it out and install another? need it for the insurance otherwise premium goes up :( !

THE CAR IS RUNNING!!!!! :dance: thanks for all the ideas guys!! we still have a couple of big questions to sort out! seems the reason it would not re-start is probably an intermittent fault on the immobilizer! only need to find the fault now! second and more important thing to find out is why the car cut out while still moving! so graham decided he wants to pick the car up to drive it and give it the once over! but have to say i can start :D :D :D again!

Cheers will let you know! Thx

Well made a large cup of coffee this morning and sat down with the bentley manual to see if I could get some ideas! First thing to say 'fla' is I recon you are right about the ecu relay.... :notworthy: from the wiring diagrams if this had gone you should still be able to crank over the engine. So I am off outside with the multi-meter to see what is getting power and what isnt.

ok i ruled out ignition switch due to the way the car cut out on the move the switch would not be in final crank position as this a temp position just for the function? should i still consider this as a possible issue? as for hearing anything with the door open answer is no! no relay or solenoid! in bentley manual it states that ignition system runs through ecu section 28.3?? VR is 28.21 but would assume it is the same(which ain't good)? appreciate the thoughts keep them coming!!

tried them greg! no problem at battery. all lights come on with ignition, headlights, radio, ip, windows, checked fuse no. 15 no problem, but nothing at the engine! :confused4:

prestwold hall leicestershire, i was at "everyman" rally day the black corrado went down to the super car day! nice :D

jim glad the car passed the mot and good luck with your choices!

nice car! engine bay looks great too! 8)

so we have a problem houston!! :( car has been running great! so after visiting prestwold hall today with my lads to go rally driving, i got home and wanted to take the car for a run! everything was going great powered up the road backed off no problem, running towards round about no problem and just as we got to the junction the engine died! no oil light until then, no temp issues and up to that moment no loss of power! under the bonnet no nasty signs of fluid anywhere so tried ignition nothing from the starter not even a click! so got electrics in car but nothing to the engine! gave a call to dg spoke with graham and went through the normal ideas but he recons its an electrical fault, perhaps relay to ecu? so anyone got any ideas? car was due to go back to dg saturday for quick check. car will now go by transporter unless you guys have got the answer? would vagcom show what’s wrong?

don't sound good, hope things change for you!

kip agree that lowering the car on the uk roads is not the best! i have to take my hat off to you and judith for keepin the car as standard as possible! judith did something to my head though was cleaning again today!! :confused4:

seen some on corrado database but there are 3500+ cars on there and can't remember which cars it was! sorry chris not really an answer!!

kip can you answer my question?
