  1. The probe was a nice looking car, but with hindsight the car is generally crap and the looks can't make up for it.
  2. Do not put it on your salad ;) Is he one of these people that drives a diesel and does 5 miles a year? Is it an early PD engine? Did you use 5W-40 fully synthetic?
  3. I've got one, light scratches on leading edge but not visible on car.. £45 delivered?
  4. Always have loads of problems with ECP at work booking stuff to the wrong accounts and giving parts to Joe Public under our account!!! They even threw an exchange unit away once that we returned to one of there drivers and took us to court for the £300 surcharge when we refused to pay it! Unfortunately it was less hassle for my company to go halves and settle out of county court than it was to fight it. They seem to have a "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough" approach to business which is totally wrong. Whilst ultimately you will now have to use them for things like MAF's etc. Always use a dealer where you can! :)
  5. Mate it looks brilliant! :D Intake looks good hopefully it will draw enough air :) I will pop around with the new air filter tomorrow. Cheeky spin around the block? :D haha
  6. Yeah but they are all asking £10k for 10 year old examples. No wonder! :D Not even Corrado's were that bad back in the day.
  7. Saw this tonight. Beautifully executed, can't wait to hear it on the road!
  8. Still a couple more leftover if anyones interested? :)
  9. I used to think MK1 Sciroccos looked a bit naff years ago. But now every time I see one I think they look superb!!
  10. 20th year of last production will be the turning point for values. Same as the MK2 Golf. It will be harder to get bits in about 5 years time. I was considering buying a nail and keeping it as a spares car.
  11. I've got a brand new VR6 rear badge that I ordered from Classic Parts as a spare if you want it for what it owes me Kev? Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow :)
  12. Nah mate, someones coming to look at the Honda next Sunday so will let you know :)
  13. Might have a Kenwood something or other coming out of the Honda soon? Bought 6 months ago from Halfrauds 6 months ago for £70. MP3 CD's and AUX-IN? £30 delivered?
  14. Check the coolant sensor flange area as well.
  15. Could be it half stalled and recovered whilst you were driving it the night before? My VR sometimes does this.
  16. They are defo obselete. I got the last off side one last week. They may be on Classic Parts soon.
  17. 32-35mpg in summer and 28-32 mog in winter :)
  18. and ironically most FIAT's do actually chuff to bits! :D (I'm only winding you up ;) hehe)
  19. I like to think the C raises people senses in the same way that a Sierra RS Cosworth does when I see one of those. You know the person isn't driving it because they can't afford to drive anything else, more because appreciate the car for what it is. At least we're not all driving fake retroboxes like the MINI or Fiat 500 (Jim excluded ;) )
  20. Spotted a 1994 silver VR6 with the rare BBS wheels on the A12 near Dedham at about 6:15pm. Anyone on here? Think the reg was L604NRD?
  21. The main reason is they advertise themselves as the only Corrado specialists when in reality they are Corrado chancers. If I promoted myself as the only specialist in a particular car then someone inheriting a barn find/dead relatives car is going to offload it to the first specialist they find unfortunately.
