Petrol cap is obsolete, only two screws as well ;)

- Facelift VR6 Clocks with approx 110.000 miles. £40 - Interior Grab handles with mirror switch. In good condition with some faint scratches. £20 - Centre Console Trim and near side vent. Excellent condition, with the usual tab broken on the botton left hand side £40

Rear panel and quarter panels look savable?

£333.00 including VAT! Can get one from ECP for £106 + VAT which is a BERU. But might have another solution...

Bugger :( £250 bill it is then!

I've got a Gazabo, chairs and BBQ and a banner stand. Just need a Corrado forum banner if anyones got one? :) http://www.aliveandvdubbin.co.uk/

People getting fed up of driving them in the crap weather I imagine. Corrado's aren't the nicest thing in to drive in the winter. I'm rolling around in a 2004 3.0 S-Type with electric everything that cost me a shade under £2000...so i'm not surprised people are selling if they can get £3k+ for a decent VR6. Although they will no doubt regret it when the sun comes out ;)

Right, did the spray bottle test and did about 3 minutes of spraying. It arc'ed about 2-3 times on the lower part of the coil? If it was fubared would it be doing it constantly? Or is the fact it's arc'ed at all a sign it's fooked?

Funnily enough, i've got a brand new Sony 6CD player that is for a 1999-2002 SEAT Ibiza radio. I believe it is designed to go in the glovebox It does have a harness but it's the red and white style that you get with normal aftermarket 6CD Changers? But this was a proper SEAT/VW approved part so imagine it must splice somehow? £25 posted do?

Looks pleasant enough :) Give it a look i'm sure they'll bite your arm off at £800 cash.

Get the lips painted Titan Grey Matt (8AU - Audi colour). Easy to maintain and will look the dogs :)

Good idea. I probably won't get in there until May so at least I won't be using the heating much and can get a better grasp of what the bills will be :) It's been nearly 3 years since I put anything on tick so it's going to be strange having lots of money going out of my account again :( I like that fireplace too, neutral (no bling), small, won't date and made by John Lewis :) The Corrado is going from 10,000 miles a year to 3000 miles, being garaged and no more commuting so *touch wood* i'm hoping my insurance will at least half :)

Tesco are doing 10p a litre off if you spend £60 in store :)

That particular section is available from Classic parts for a reasonable amount of money (£!00 or so)

I'll get to work on it tomorrow if it's not too cold :)

Yup tis a facelift one :)

Yup, I remember we had one like that installed when my Dad had our bungalow built...that was 1981 Anyone got any experience of wall mounted electric fires? Looks like quite a neat install :) http://www.diy.com/nav/rooms/fires-surrounds/fires/wall_hung_fires

Finally getting on the property ladder and had an offer agreed on house in Ipswich :) Includes a garage for the Corrado of course ;) The property in question is 15-18 years old and is in need of some modernisation in places (lick of paint needed, coved ceilings, sapele doors etc) but the one thing that confuses me is that the property has no chimney but a gas fireplace? I have attached a picture. Ideally I wanted a log burner but have been told this isn't a possibility due to the lack of chimney? :( Now, my options are; - Replace with a more modern looking fireplace, but perhaps a waste of money as it is an Energy Efficiency rating of C anyway? - Remove the fireplace and surround, gain a little more living space and save cash not replacing it. But everyone I've spoken to moans that there will be no 'central point'? Would a 52 inch television be classed as a central point ;) - That the log burner statement was incorrect? The people i'm buying it off have said it's a warm house anyway. So any advice?

Hi all, Classic Parts have managed to source another x3 RHD Facelift VDO Gauges for me :) Original RRP: £265.64 Special Price: £170.00 delivered. The pressure switch is obsolete but it's essentially a 1 pin oil pressure switch that can be purchased from Maplins etc Anyone interested? Call me on 01473 556306 between 8-6pm during the week if so :)

The VR has developed a slight missfire when cold but seems normal when up to temperature. Is this a sign of a coil going down? :( Is there any physical way to check?

TT Wipers are £125 delivered :) I need to shift the last two number plate plinths before I can start the new Bulk Buy. If anyone is lucky enough to own two Corrado's I am happy to sell a pair for £100 just so we can all progress with the next one?
