Dam, missed it. Iplayer here i come... Anyone been to the live shows at NEC? It was a few years ago now but i felt like i'd been robbed of both my time and money. Only good thing was seeing Hammonds and Clarksons landrovers.

Thanks for the tip, penny fix added to the list.

Spent too many hours on youtube watching old top gear vids :) The favourites folder is full of car porn here :lol:

Good job, still need to look at mine. It's making some bad noises, especially in the cold mornings. What motor did you replace it with?

Lovely video, almost pornographic. Noticed it was uploaded by a mr yandards.... :wave:

Yeah, could have been a bit more accurate. The ride height of those last cars does look a bit leisurely ;)

Interesting car, what's with the front light set up? Might need to take a run up to knockhill now, love to get some pictures of a racing C!

Just caught this one this morning, pmsl! [video=youtube_share;uvYxXBMqEOM]

This is a great one also, sad but great! I like when he says "the corrado, like any car, has it's faults." [video=youtube_share;2YR5HvPGsGQ]

It's only sad if it has ford over it... Have thought about it myself, using the pen drawing from the bentley manual ;)

Is it a £1 now? Was 85p last time i was in :lol: I was running the 250 merc on it and my brother runs 50-50 in his 300 merc both getting around 40mpg. Makes me feel hungry every time we're in convoy tho... Yeah, i've seen a lot of series land rovers that look awfully like defenders ;)

Just noticed the AUG reg and thought is it the same car as this but it's not.... i spend too much time on the internet i know.... interesting however?

I have the same cheapo blue one, has worked fine with every car so far. It's a bit fussy about the corrado but with the correct settings it works every time.

The only way to cheap motoring is diesel, veg oil and pre '73 or go electric. Old cars with later power plants still qualify for historic tax... mmm got me thinking now? Anyone done a corrado electric conversion :lol:

We're Scottish! Well renowned for our tightwads :lol: Happy burns night BTW! Time to celebrate our national poet, drunkard, waster and wife beater.

It's a nice idea however in the governments (lets be seen to be doing something green) future plans to ban/scrap older cars i'll be surprised if it ever happens. We can but try, so if you'd like to add yourself then maybe we could make a change? https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/2622

What i'd like to know is what the hell did he hit? Anyhow the Italians do it best, as always. :lol: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/8388128.stm

I prefer the early bonnet but never mind, bought a car for spares and i'd rather avoid killing it. Time and money will decide at the end of the day...

It could be the baud rate but any slower and it could take a while, it should work? I think i waited for the 4sec countdown then turned the ignition on during the countdown. I think it's all about timing but maybe it's just your luck whether you get a good cable or not.

Just a thought, can I fit the earlier style bonnet? Has anyone got a picture of one?

If you need to scan the engine ecu then this method worked for me... 1- Change the baud rate to 4800. 2- Plug the cable in. 3- With the ignition off select the engine module in vcds and start. 4- In the top left it should be trying to connect. (counting down untill next try) 5- As its counting down turn the ignition on and wait..... it should now connect to the ecu :thumbleft: Give it a go and let me know, i'll try again on mine as i'm trying to remember if thats correct? Maybe someone else could confirm this? Good luck

You need to change the latency on the usb port your using, if it's too high the ecu won't talk. I set mine to 5.

I've got some pogues albums someplace, the new generation just ain't gonna get it i guess? I know i'm getting old now.... wtf is dubstep? Have started singing this rather loudly at work, i think it's how i dance at weddings also :lol: [video=youtube_share;a_426RiwST8]

Looks good, get some autoglym instant tyre dressing on ALL the black bits. It only lasts about 2 weeks but looks great once it's done.
