Have a google search, as I think it has been posted on how to make one from scratch. Its not difficult, and I believe the connectors are common across a wide range of VAG cars spanning quite a few years so should still be available cheap enough.

Wheels now sold

Oh yeah! That man speaketh the truth

Not sure if its early and late, but there are some with an adjustable steering column and others with a fixed one. The lever for that is on the cowling so that is the only difference as far as I'm aware....

Haha, understatement of the year there Martin! :lol:

My apologies with the WOT switch, I tend do go into auto and forget there are other types than the VR6! :bonk::lol:
-
Wide Open Throttle. Its not a switch just for WOT though, its a throttle potentiometer, and measures the entire movement of the butterfly. Its the electrical bit attached to the throttle body. Lambda is a real pain to remove, its in the middle section of the exhaust and the heat cycles pretty much weld it to the exhaust. You'll need to specific tool to remove it. Follow the cable though up to the plug which is attached around the rear engine mount and disconnect it there.

The majority of that will be due to camber. Have a look in the Wiki, I think the figures are in there for camber and toe but whilst your toe will cause some wear, it'll have to be ridiculously out to cause that damage. If I were you, I'd start looking for replacement wheels.

http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?105244-Black-Lysholm-G60-w-75k Link isn't dead. Not really necessary to post this on a forum the seller is on, and advertising on as well.

Glad your getting back to this, such a great build and was wondering what had happened. :thumbleft:
-
I had one fitted to my car when I bought it. Think it was a cheap eBay job and it went in the bin shortly after purchase. You shouldn't need to remove the headlining. Remove the rear trim piece and the rear quarter belt trims, and that should give you enough room to change it. See if you can find one with the same connector as it'll be a 5 minute job if you can

The metal strip under the grill forms one piece with the slam panel btw
-
Kieran, sounds more like the rocker gasket leaking to me. Won't be anything internal as you'd see poor plug electrodes. Where the oil is sounds like its external. Worth keeping an eye on, but most likely not a big issue mate and a gasket replacement should cure it.

PM'd. £350 + postage for forum members but that's my bottom line.

Saw a gear knob on eBay from a Greek seller recently. I know people have bought from them before with no problems. Think it was about £65. If your sruggling I just bought a leather cover for mine, put it on with a bit of steam and in fairness it looks great

Hi all, up for sale are my RX228s in the link below. Selling as I'm putting originals back on. Open to offers, any questions welcome. https://www.facebook.com/groups/278350932289020/permalink/792690207521754/?sale_post_id=792690207521754

May be worth changing some of the gaskets & seals if it's been on a shelf and dry for 10+ years Jim. Crank seals at least as you really don't want to be replacing them weeks after getting it back in and running!
-
Just had a look and it doesn't look like they list them anymore. Soz mate!
-
Do you have a press Hasan? If not, probably easier and cheaper to replace the whole wishbones. They're surprisingly inexpensive and come with bushes in place. Veedubmachune also sell them (though aftermarket) with the TT rear bushes. Unless you polybush the lot, in which case cost wise I imagine will probably work out the same. Just be careful of the securing bolts, they have a habit of shearing!
-
And finally the inline fuse to the light switch.

Shameless, but happy birthday anyway!!! :lol:
-
sorry mate, I should have offered it up sooner. I'm not too far from you and as my car is off the road for the foreseeable future, you could have come round mine and done a bit of a swap with your parts to see what it could be before forking out. The offer is still there whenever you nee it though. Its been about 18 months since mine was on the road, but it ran perfectly before that so you're welcome to try parts etc whenever you want. :thumbleft:

I've got his BMC CDA, and I feel guilty about it too. That is, until I put my foot down and all is forgotten! Lol
