  1. all is well - is your parts hunt over!

     

    Its not the white hangars - these are metal coat hanger material (best way i can describe it) like y shape

     

    i cant up load pictures

     

    i had these quite a while now from the local vw dealer but never got them fitted

     

    drooping handbrake cables not a pretty sight - these may not be on a vr6?

     

    by the way that car is clean underneath - looks like a new car - shame to take it out in the rain to get dirty


  2. does anyone have a fitted picture of the wire hanger that the hand brake cable attaches to as it moves along the rear axle

     

    finally getting around to getting these fitted but cant see how they attach? - same as mk2 golf

     

    i can best describe these as small curtain hanger type?

     

    thanks


  3. thats a very fair price there - i paid roughly the same 4 years ago for a genuine one off ebay and roughly the same again for a genuine rear box

     

    buy it quickly you will not get another at that price

     

    last time i looked vw classic parts had these in stock (some time ago) and may be NLA - they were serious money

     

    the weight of them shows they are top quality!


  4. First car was a vauxhall nova 1,0 swing - great car for the hand brake turns!

    Bought in 1988 for £2600 from a vw dealer with the help of my father.

     

    followed by a ford orion and a mk1 astra gte (loved this cars driving position) then rust took it over


  5. i did the cardinal sin and traded it for a mk3 gti 8 valve (don't laugh please)

     

    at the time it was bleeding me dry and looking back i actually carried out 90% of the faults before i sold it!

     

    The last i heard was it was traded to another trader south of the border here in ireland


  6. there is the crank shaft oil seal that sits between engine and gearbox - the clutch and flywheel have to come off to fix

     

    oil leaks can come from a number points and it surprises you where the oil shows itself

     

    i find a common point is sensors especially cars of this age


  7. i had one of those back in the year 2000 - cost me a bloody fortune it was just at the age where everything goes wrong and because everything was unique to the car its ££££. The original exhaust centre box was £1000. I sold it for buttons at the time and now regret it.


  8. i assume your talking about the rear quarter windows? If so the rubber is attached to the glass and the glass is bonded in - as with the windscreen and has to be removed by cutting wire - best removed by a good windscreen fitter.


  9. Sorry I meant drivers seat tilt handle.

    Hello keyo

     

    we are all hoarders now with corrado parts !! with regards to these parts i have a car here for parts and these are still attached and intact (i will have to confirm this) but how do you remove them without breaking them as they are plastic and almost 30 years old


  10. Sure thing I will say I do agree the G60 does have rarirty and it is a cool VW brand and design. Does anyone own a Golf rallye on here think that is my all time favourite VW , just love the box wheel arches.

     

    i love the g60 engine thats why i chose it when getting a corrado - i had a rallye in 2000 and it cost me a fortune as it was just at an age that everything started to go wrong - abs pump various sensors suspension etc but worst of all was the exhaust as i like my cars as vw intended the cenre box alone was £1000 - BUT I LOVED IT and regretted having to sell it as it was sitting outside and where i lived car thieving scum operated. it was well speced with electric recaros etc - cant believe asking prices today as i sold mine for peanuts

     

    its the g60 for me - just love the noise.


  11. hi Angus

    with regards to traders (not all) you will find that they offer poor prices for your car finding faults and within a few weeks you find the car advertised at an inflated price keeping genuine enthusiasts out

     

    interesting number plate that was once on the car - probably worth more than the car today

     

    try to get a few pictures up. here is a great site to advertise on with many genuine enthusiasts


  12. hello Angus. sorry to hear about your loss

     

    I'm from Belfast and I am a Corrado owner (sorry fanatic) as above it all comes down to its condition, spec and what it will cost to put it back on the road. six years for a car to be off the road is not good. has the car been kept in dry storage? it may be in your best interest just to advertise the car and people who admire these cars will come to view it and make offers to purchase it.just be aware of traders
