I have a manual override. I’m running similar to ABV post. Switch is to have both on full power. But I’ve got relays on mine so a live switch to the relays with a diode on.

I would be astonished if you could still get the oe key cut from scratch. I got an oe key for this one over 6 years ago and there was one person selling them in the USA and it cost something like £50. You can still get similar blank keys but they aren’t the oe ones with the light button on even from the dealer at that time. Having said that I hope you pull it off, as it is a bit off a faf about with the other locks and barrel if not.

It s one hell of a ride matey, welcome aboard.

Don’t think you’ll be able to get a key from the dealer anymore. The coding is in a chip in the the key. It’s easier to open up the old key up and swap the chip into your new key. If the key is goosed the barrel maybe too as it was on my last Corrado, so I changed the barrel and 2 new keys came with it. Remove the other locks and it’s a case of messing with the plates inside the handle lock to match the new keys. Someone on here did it a few years ago. A guy at the local be dealer did mine for £20 but he’s long gone now. I’ve got a new barrel and 2 keys stashed if you are struggling as I never used them as this car is OK.

That looks great. You’ve inspired me, I’m off to fix my exhaust and change my oil.

Ive got a tracker on mine, just so there is still some hope if this type of thing happens. Although not much help for dukest it is something to consider for those with no garage parking. You could just use an old iPhone wired in charging behind the dash or hidden above the roof lining or similar, if the car disappears use the find my iPhone app. This is how we found the guy that burgled my daughter at uni and recovered all her stuff and car. He turned her iPad on and that was him lifted a couple of hours later.

I wonder if they’ve gone club members only

It could be you’ve introduced 12v to the speed sensor circuit which should have variable voltage. Have you connected a two wire blue plugs together near the fuse box under the dash, these shouldn’t be plugged together or fitted a new stereo

Battery voltage looks to be way low. Don’t know about the rest of what you said

It’s a shame bet there seems to be a lot of sellers with no morals what so ever. Paying by credit card or PayPal is the only thing you can do to protect yourself, some sellers won’t entertain that though, I wonder why?

What did you get for the gearbox out of curiosity then.

Have you had offers for all the parts you’ve taken off.

On the original when the resister goes it only gives speed 4. If you have a good resistor it’s best to keep that and swap your 30 year old fan unit

. I need to stop chasing perfection and just enjoy it for what it is. That right there is what it’s all about. My wife said this with a smirk 11 years ago “ it’ll never be finished “ but I don’t care as long as I can use and enjoy it most of the time. There is always something I’ve got to look at but it doesn’t have to be perfect or I’ll be too frightened of anything happening to it, to use it.

I bet your hearing an orchestra of tones now compared to the rubbish you took out. That really has had it

It never gets old looking at these parts refreshed and renewed. It just looks so much better and you know after all the hard work you shouldn’t be going back to them very often, just light fettling and cleaning after all that.

Looks Sherry to me too. I think the front of both sills could do with a in person look at as well

When I open my garage and show people my car for their first time they normally say “wow” or similar I can’t imagine my disappointment never mind theirs if I opened my garage and that was in it

Oooo, you’re on a roll.

Been and passed the MOT today Always a smiley moment when that happens. while parked up for a minute waiting my turn took this photo. The Corrado is smaller than a 20 year younger up haha. I be it weighs less too

I thought that might be yours that went up this weekend. It’s easier said than done, but if mines sending me over the edge I leave it alone for a few weeks to build up enthusiasm and it’s always better to step back sometimes when you are chasing issues. When you come back to it you might look at the problem from a different angle or think of something you’ve missed which generally works out for me. Good luck either way

Love a happy ending

I have a stealth made and fitted exhaust

It was driving me nuts until I figured it out

Exhaust banging on the rear brake compensator
