thats just one of the burnt out wires, this is after having a poke round to see the extent of the damage so bits seriously arent were they are ment to be

well, lad at work turned round a bit later while I was on ebay and said...... wanna buy a g60 :0 :0 :0 just got to find a place to do the work......am I a glutten for punishment

all the wiring is a mess on the battery side of the engine. couple of pipes have melted completely as well. gutted :(

the Ice is earthed and everything, as can be seen in the pic. Ive just gone and bought a foam extinguisher lol.....goes in the boot afterwards it was my boss who put the flames as nobody else seemed to know how to use the extinguishers at all. thinking about which way I go with either rewiring the car.......or Ive got the chance of buying a nice shiney new.....g60 engine

arrived at work as normal at 7:30am, parked the car up and thought nothing more off it, Loaded up my van(including my new wheels to be taken for wrapping in rubber and set of on my route at 9....... at about 9:45 I got a phonecall "fin, your cars on fire, can we smash the window" thinking it was a prank at first I just said yeah go on then. I phoned back to work straight away and spoke to one of the other lads and he confirmed what had happened. I then got a call from the boss "fin, best get yourself back here, it looks like an electrical fire, its a mess" I set of back in Silence fearing the worst. i round the corner into the car park, there was my beloved rado with the bonnet in the air :( but......in one peice wtf....when he said mess I thought i was coming back to just a shell. they had put the drivers window through and glass everywere, the leads have burnt right through to the copper and just melted plastic and pipes....apart from that everything seems good..........time for a rebuild me thinks :D

recently bought some sexy new rims and am after a set of 4 pcd adaptors. 4x100 to 5x112 if anyone knows of anyone who has some going or were I can get some manufactured drop me a message. cheers in advance people

paid £500 for the car and price ive paid on stuff so far is £5 on sorting the oil leak £180 on the coils £20 on spacers £390 for exhaust £200+ for tax £170 on tyres+fitting(all 4) £30 on longer wheel bolts £90 on hub and bearing with fitting those prices are with fiting lol subframe £200 + cheap trolley jack....fitted it alone and bumper was £40 alone its about a grand + but work apart from the subframe etc was paid to a garage at a rate of £40 an hour.....................what an idiot iam lol

i still love my corrado after having to replace the exhaust, all 4 tyres, 2 wheel bearings.........and found out that my steering rack needs replacing yet I still love this car, drove 200+ miles upto scotland and enjoyed every moment off it. stick with the car and you wont regret it

love the light in this shot...pure fluke

have you got any pics of the vr6 interior? email is [email protected] oh and is rear bumper clean?

been through barnard castle a couple of times and seen a white rado on white 5spokes.....but friday saw her sat at the croft road roundabout......anyone on here??

keeping an eye on both....got a few plans

hit up vagcat best site ive found(second to this lol) found my replacement subframe and a few other odds and sods by phoning TPS with the part number of vagcat

drive it!!!!! what else can beat the smile that the car will put on your face

gotta get myself a battery cover.....had a prob a few months back with torential rain, was shorting out my battery everytime

I'm going to look at it tomorrow, that car causes me so much frustration with the repairs..... But the Coldstream route to Scotland put one hell of a smile on my face, even watching the oil temp like a nutter as I hit Edinburgh at rush hour I couldn't help but smile...... **** I love my corrado

ahh, temp gauge has failed but I havent looked into it. cleaned out the connectors on the bottle etc with wd40 before I left and again just after I crossed the border(found a dodo juice swab so used that, only flashed once or twice since but seems like that was the problem all along

WeLl I've got a 200mile drive in the morning so I will give the connetions a clean up, and keep a check on the levels on my way down, then clean the bottle up tomorrow, cheers

All I know is it's the light to the left of the oil pressure light

Oil temp reads just over 100 to 116. Looks like the temp gauge has since stopped working. Plenty of coolant and no air in the system

Drove up from Middlesbrough to fife, just as I was arriving the temperature warning light started flashing. Thinking the car was just a bit hot I checked coolant level, all the connections etc and parked it up, went to drive it today and from the of it started flashing.counted the flashes it was about 10 or 11 and then it stops for a bit. Anyone got any ideas

and yet I click the mk1 golf thread......ermm eeep

never know, someone could have them.........but after a set of fitted floor mats if anyone knows of an ebay link or anything let me know

it isnt a g40 lol, just a boggo olop, lads only 17 who drives that.....oh there was a load of swearing on my motor, undid the wrong bolt on the subframe and the lot started to drop, I had to try and push it back into place as my brother bolted it back together before shooting to halfrauds to get a trolley jack....lots of swearing that day

was through at my old mans wiring up a few things on the C and sorting out an iddling problem on the S. caught a couple of decent pics on ye olde camera and thought id share it with you guys and my fave a few randoms from my phone starting them young oooops fixing boot install and up in the air with dyno rod enjoy ---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 PM ---------- btw.....pot noodle wasnt mine lmao ---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ---------- btw, a bit of a clean freak Iam, the orange olop is coated in poorboys natty wax, the scirocco is coated in Dodos rainforest rub with a collonite top coat...and the C is col
