Hi It pulls itself back Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I removed the handle and trim around it and used some pliers to pull the cable as far as I could but the bonnet still won’t pop Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Dear Collective I have a MKII Octavia estate as a daily. The bonnet release handle feels like its operating normally and when I pull it I can hear movement near the grill but the bonnet won’t pop! My local independent garage says they would need to break in via the grill to open it. I’m worried about going ahead without knowing for sure if there is a smarter solution.

Hi all 1992 Corrado G60 Luckily I was only travelling at walking pace when it snapped instead of during an ambitious overtake! Can't remember exactly what was holding the cable on but assume it's plastic because of the broken shards on top of the throttle body. Want to avoid buying a complete throttle body if possible. If you can help, please let me know Andrew

Hi all Corrado G60 A couple of times recently when turning on the ignition, ive noticed a tiny puff of smoke coming from where the steering wheel meets the ignition cowling. It hasn't stopped the car or any of its electricals from working Any ideas re cause please? Cheers guys, Andrew

Will consider any with or without tyres and any condition including those in need of restoration Happy to collect distance permitting Thanks, Andrew

Welcome to the forum

Thanks everyone I'll come up with a suggested date once ive checked with DLF Andrew

Yes i agree it seems pricey compared to Stealth but for those who live in this area its cheaper overall than driving to the midlands

Hi all Just putting out feelers for this at the moment I've been spending a bit of time at DLF Classics near Woodbridge They have agreed to host a rolling road day in their very cool converted barn. Places would be limited to 8 cars only (mine would be one of them) £50 a head Includes 3 runs Would take place on a Saturday morning Afterwards I suggest we drive down to The White Lion in Ufford for lunch (well that's what I'll be doing) I haven't been to many of these events so not sure how it compares on price Let me know what you think Andrew

Cheers The one im replacing has become warped and kinked which is stopping the window going all the way up So as long as yours are better then this then ill take one Andrew

Sounds great mate Whats the condition like?

Hi It's a 92 facelift model

Hi all Need the one that runs along the top of the door and down towards the handle Thanks Andrew

Thanks for the tip but sadly no longer available

Full set required With or without tyres considered

Hello For the past 10 years the water temperature of my G60 at a steady cruise has always been approximately 92C. But recently, i paid for the charger to be rebuilt and the waterpump to be replaced. The thermostat housing was also replaced but the thermostat itself was not. Ever since then the cruising temperature (water) is now about 102C. The oil temperature appears to be unaffected. Can anyone suggest a reason for this sudden change? Many thanks Andrew
