Body shops in the Warwick Leamington Kenilworth
Hatton VR6 replied to Hatton VR6's topic in Suppliers Forum
Did you use them for the work on your Corrado a couple of years ago. My wife has just taken early retirement and suggested that I have £3K from her lump sump to sort the car out so I could go to shows next year. So I need to act before she changes her mind! As our son grows up running the taxi service to weekend activities has dropped off giving me the time to sort the car out. We have also had the headache of the A4 being off the road for 6 weeks so the C being roadworthy would have been very useful. -
Hi, Can anybody recommend a good body shop in the Leamington Warwick or Kenilworth area. I need to get the A pillars replaced / repaired and painted after the welding has been done as water had got in when the previous owner had the windscreen replaced. Hatton VR6

Clean off the thread behind the nut with a wire brush so any of the muck on the threads does not make it harder to turn the nut when loosened or get stuck in the threads when trying to remove the nut. Spray the thread and nut with Plus Gas or another penetrating oil and leave to soak in as recommended on the can. This may allow you to slacken off the lock nut without resorting to heat. It may be worth winding it backwards and forwards to free it off. (It has worked for me in the past with out needing to resort to heat). Remove the track rod end ball joint, counting the number of turns to remove it. Spray the thread and lock nut with Plus Gas and hopefully remove lock nut. Clean the track rod thread up with a wire brush. Smear a little copper grease on the track rod thread and fit the new nut and track rod end ball joint, counting the number of turns as you refit it and lock in place. If the plus gas does not work you will have to resort to heat. In the past I have left it to soak over night and then used the plus gas again the next day as specified on the tin. Hope it helps.

Have been working at TUV on Snitterfield Road Bearley all week! Will keep an out for you. Am in Stratford 2 - 3 times a week as my son is in the cycling club and triathlon club there. If a blue A4 estate waves it will probably be me as the VR6 is off the road at the moment.

How old are you, and how long have you had your Corrado/Corrado's?
Hatton VR6 replied to Overmind's topic in General Car Chat
50 (youngish) 1.8 16V 1996 - 2002 80000 miles used as a daily driver except for 1997 - 1998 when I had a company car. Since2004 a VR6 10000 miles, will keep as standard! Hopefully the car will go to my 12 year old but not for many years! -

Mysterious, substantial, improvement in radio signal..?
Hatton VR6 replied to Jim's topic in ICE 'n' Secure
Possibly a better earth connection to the battery or you have moved cable without realising that has now made better contact. Has the car been garaged over the last week while off the road. If so the black box on the roof may have dried out. Water got into the black box on my old 16V, stopping the amplifier from working. -
Great news on the MOT. Seems like I'm not the only that gets grief off the Mrs! The older she gets the more grief I get!
