  1. As usual it has been a while since i have updated this thread! have a few things that have been done since i last wrote on this thread! which i will add once i have got round to taking some pic's,

    My latest achievment of which i am fairly happy with the outcome is an eye level 3rd brake light,

    After trawling the breakers yard for a light that i thought would do the job? i came across a smashed up Xreg astra that had its back window blown out which made it easier to see what the light was like, plus it's also an LED brake light which i belive to be brighter and less power hungry, i may be wrong but who care sit's in now!!

    So with a careful bit of dremmeling and constant offering up i finally got there, hopefully if the pics load you can judge for your self what you think?


  2. i have the same issue of the passengers side not lifiting, but have recently brought from VW a repair kit! i got both side for just over £50 so might be worth a visit to your local vw?


  3. spotted a red H reg at potrsmouth hospital at about 12.50, think it was a G60 but not totaly sure! had a good look at the side as you went past and stuck my hand up but not sure if you noticed ? my work mate was very impressed and said he now knows what a corrado is lol


  4. I have been offered some R32 4motion rear brakes, i was wondering what size discs i would require to go with these? and would they fit under my 15" rims?

    The other question is can mk4 brakes be fitted to the front as well? have done a bit of trawling through the forums for answers but due to work load havent had much time :-( to find the answers!

    Any info would be handy.


  5. Dragon try giving these guys a call, they are not that far from you,

    B&B components

    01622 677662

    01622 685308

     

    they offered me wish bones for mine with R32 bushes in when i was refurbing my ones but i had already brought the polley bushes, they are good on prices to.


  6. I was in the same situation as you do i keep the corrado on the road or do i take it of?

    My tax run out the end of last month, which happened to ba glorious weekend (typical) so i relented and tax the old girl for anothere 6 months! i know i must be mad lol but on the up side i can take her out if the weather is nice and like you have mentioned keep parts moving so when the summer arrives again i won't be replacing parts from lack of use!!

    I am lucky to have a second car on stand by, which so happens is a mk3 golf tdi which i had before i brought the corrado, and i must say that she is a wonderful car and has never let me down even in the snow that we have had over the past 2 years and i live out in the sticks, the only thing i suggest if you do go down the route of by a mk3 diesel for the winter is regular oil changes ( i do mine every 3 to 4 thousand miles) and putting some wynes diesel injector cleaner through has done wonders for mine, she has done 250,000 miles starts on the button and i can get about 600 miles to a tank,

    That infomation might not be helpful but i might give you some food for thought!
