Thanks Wullie - will give that a go, then look for new linkage arm!

Ok - so this might win a record for reopening an old post, but here goes! I've just experienced the same problem as the original poster here - the short arm attached to the wiper motor has detached from the rest of the wiper linkage. I'm struggling to reattach the linkage and the archived links above no longer work. Can anyone suggest a solution please? Thanks in advance Paul

Chris Thanks for PM, I'm in Guernsey. Paul

Hi, does anyone have a window regulator for the driver's side please? The cable on mind has just snapped! Thanks in advance Paul

Hi I'm Chris' mate (VW_OwneR_85). I'm interested in the sunroof panel. Can you email me photos? If so PM me details. Also, how much posted to Guernsey? It needs to be rust free to replace my current panel! Thanks Paul

Progress update... The burnt out wire turned out to be the "alternator exciter wire" that had burnt out years ago, damaging the wiring loom in the process. It had subsequently been fixed by someone who simply bypassed the wire direct back to fusebox and not repairing the loom. Over time this had degraded, affecting things like the cooling management system. Huge thanks to Chris aka VW_Owner_85 for his skills, workshop and spare engine wiring loom. We got the car back up and running on Sunday, having replaced around 20 sections of wire! Car now runs much smoother and cooler, with peace of mind that the engine wiring loom is now safe and sorted. Next challenge is to resolve the mystery of why the passenger headlight is still weak and causes both main beams to glow slightly when on, then disappears completely when main beam is switched on.

Rams Thanks for the encouragement! I really don't want to walk away. The wire he's focused on is a red wire that runs down to the sender at bottom of radiator, which has burnt out. My ignorance is such that that I don't know how many looms there are to get/ buy. That's definitely causing an issue as the car runs hot from time to time then settles back down. I've a new headlight switch to fit at some point too, was looking at the headlamp upgrade but needed to fix the basics first! Paul

My garage has just condemned the Corrado on the basis of burnt out wiring, with the quote "I'm surprised you've not had a fire yet". The symptom was that the passenger headlamp was a little dim then failed under full beam. He's taken 4 hours so far to track back a burnt out wire that ran down to the radiator sender, which looks like it's damaged the wiring loom on passenger side that runs near the gearbox (runs to radiator and passenger lamps). He's unwilling to provide a quote for the repairs at this point, because he doesn't know how extensive the damage is and therefore work involved. Please can you advise on the best course of action? I've not done wiring before so don't know how much work / how fiddly this would be if I tried it myself. Equally, I'd struggle to justify spending say 3 days of garage time to fix it all. Am now facing the potential of walking away from the car, which makes me sad. I know I have other plans to work on the car such as respray and front steering/suspension, so it's all mounting up. Should I get another wiring loom - are they available from VW or scrapyards? Alternatively, if there are any Guernsey based Corrado fans who can help show me what to do, I'm a pretty quick learner. Thanks in advance

Guys That'd be awesome if either of you have one spare! Thanks Paul

Hi Tom Do you have a door lock barrel leftover and the parcel shelf bump rests that stick to the tailgate? thanks Paul

Pm'd

Hi I'm looking for a door lock barrel, not sure if it matters but it's for a late Corrado. Thanks Paul

Hi Thanks for the advice, I had a look and found the issue - the barrel has sheared off just before the tip of the key! Now all I need is a spare barrel and I can retumble the lock! Anyone got a spare door lock barrel? Paul
