I''ve got a set of these, they come with teh transformer. Bought them from maplins a while back for a fiver each. Been meaning to do exactly this to my C ever since I saw it in my mates M3 BMW! it does look good. How do you get them to come on when the alarm unlocks? Pcis of wiring woudl go down a treat!

While were on the topic of BBS RCs I've got a set which I bought a few weelks back, what I wanted to now was what is the correct tyre pressure for thes wheels on a 2.0l 16v, they are 17" with 205 40 tyres. Cheers

Ferrari Enzo, where I used to work in Mayfair. Rumour has it that it belongs to Rod Stewart! Got Pics of it too on my mobile. A stunning car to say the least.

Bally I've got teh same problem in my C too mate. I changed my Ign Switch a few weeks ago too and the same problem is still to be had! I'm now afraid to switch the car off in the event that I can't start it again! Hope you can find a solution mate, I'll try to find one too and if I can solve it thrn will post too. Sanj

1 & 2 are so true :D

Hold on it raises the question of whether teh police were actually doing work or just surfing the internet for ebay bargains :wink: Just goes to show that the public cry out for more officers on the street, catching red handed no gooder Chav's, yet the police deem it more important to catch a speeding driver at 88mph not exactly Maclaren F1 terrotory now is it on the internet :wink:

I know that feeling to mate! :D

This is the same prob I had with mine, it used to cut out and lose power etc. It turned out to be the CAT. However the problem was solved by itself when the internals of the CAT was exited from the exhaust system over time. I would take the CAT off and like h100vw says knock out the honeycomb in teh CAT so its just a through pipe and replace the CAT when the MOT is due. In addition you may want to consider changing the Lamda probe for good measure too.

Mine pops a when its floored a bit. Does that mean I have a problem with my exhaust such as a hole in thedownpipe, or is the car overfuelling etc. I've just got it MOT'd a few days back and it passed with flying colours.

Was just reading this thread and I kept thinking of the that guy off the Discovery channel who restored an E-type Jag. The car was 80% brand new, but it still maintained its original look etc but with the added bonus of new and improved parts. I would like to think that in 30-40 or so years time someone will maintain/restore a Corrado to its former glory. Back to the specific question in mind, in my opinion OEM+ is the way to go, just to keep the C on the roads. Just my 2p :)

Err whats passive rear steering? Sorry but I'm not much of a techy car wizz!

Yep sounds like the lambda probe to me too. Had the same prob with mine until I changed it.

The question now remains, is should I take mine to VAG they charge £40 + VAT per hour so at the most it should come to about £200 inc parts at the most or am I being optimistic!

From what I've heard so far, I had better change it soon!! Andy cheers for the garage address mate, and would like to also welcome you to the forum.

Mmmm My service book says that the cambelt was done at 61k, I bought the car at 71k a few years back. Its now approaching 90k should i get it replaced or not. Just a bit worried that I'm gonna get ripped off getting it replaced, anyone now if I can do it myself or can give me a rough estimate on how much it'll cost? I think I will get it doen just for the peace of mind!

Changed the dreaded ignition switch. Surprised myself only took 20mins to do!!

K&N with drilled air box and cold air feed from front of the car is the set up I've done.

A1 4MIT looks as though he may be asian, cos he's trying to spell his name Amit - an indian name. So he lives in Hounslow/wimbledon and his name is Amit!!

Bleeding pikey chav scum!! sorry to hear the loss mate!!

I like!!

Lamda Probe??

I love this car for one main reason... the wheels !!! Looking 8)

Yep happened to me too, I put my missus on my policy and it went down by £200!! Went for a renewal with NUD after my first year, and after I made a prang on my 16v, was quoted £2000 3rd party!!! Changed to Admiral nd got it for £800 fully comp!! It definetly pays to shop around!!

Yep I feel for you mate, had my stereo nicked about a month ago too from my Corrado, :( its just a downer to everything, I was jsut glad they never got the car though!! Its just a shame that you cant do feck all about it, I blame the parents and the government for making it harder for parents to give a good old slap when kids get out of hand!! A good old slap was a deterent for me when I was a kid and I always thought twice before I even got into any mischief. Just the thought of my old man getting angry if he found out gave me the sh*ts. :shock:

Just read this thread, I got mine on saturday, cost me £85 for the stealers. Tried to fit it too but its a real bummer, cos its a bit cramped under there. Any advice on fitting it etc, or is it just a staright forward screw into place? Sanj.
