Hi, just been looking through the search feature to see what tyres are recommended for 1.8 16v Corrados, but didn't find much. What do all you 16v owners recommend ?

Pretty simple question ! Not many of us from Northern Ireland on here i know, but for those of us who are, can you recommend me the names of some top quality sprayers? Few things needing done & i really don't want to take it to someone whos not going to do a perfect job. If anyone can let me know.

TPFT - 24yrs old - No bonuses - Elephant Insurance £1400 1.8 16v

Ah ha - I should of read that properly

Its a piece of piss - You just look through the top of the grill - get something with a hook on the end - and look for the cable. Hook whatever you have round the cable and pull ! The bonnet should pop open.

MFA showed 38mpg but i was taking it very easy - 60-65mph

Well it was the immobiliser. Up & running now - hurray - a happy end.

Cheers bigpants, but tried that & still didnt work. I really do think its the immobiliser now....though i have no clue how to fix it if it is that!

Right - im starting to think the immobiliser has packed in

Ah ha - well as im in work i asked my dad to use the battery from his car and no luck - same thing is happening. Total git it is.. ! hasnt anyone had this same prob ?

Maybe it is - im in work so i can't get at the darn thing. I just didnt think the windows/ lights etc would work if it was that..........hmm

Hey guys - If it does turn out to be this relay thing, does anyone know what car i can get one of.... Passat - mark2 Golf etc.. ?

Ill check that too Geo - thanks

nope its not the battery- the lights other electrics work ok

Tried to start the Corrado this morning (1.8 16v - 91) All the electrics come on, but you just get a sort of fast rattling/clicking noise comming from the dash and all the lights on it flickering really fast. (Engine doesnt attempt to start) I havn't time to look at it cos im in work now - So i thought it'd be a good idea to post this for any suggestions. Would it simply be the ignition relay ?

Have to state my displeasure at my dealings with Matty123 I ordered a window mechanism from him 2 and a half months ago. It never turned up - apparantly lost in the post. I asked him for a part refund (say 50%) of the amount i paid him. He said he would send me a cheque (twice he agreed to do this) but this has not turned up either. So finally after almost 3 months i have decided to leave this negative feeback just as a warning to others - im not saying DO NOT deal with him, but you may want to be wary.

Homer Simpson What fun that would be cruising through the town on a summer day - .......ahh...im easily pleased.

Put it down to experiance and forget about it. Just remember to never trust the c**ksuckers no matter who they are.

Thank goodness i found this post. I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Mike I'll not be buying any wheels for a while yet. Merely enquiring !

bbs RC's you say Gazza - interesting interesting - i might have a look at them.

I learn something new everyday since i got into cars Im also suprised to hear it stunts acceleration.... I'll defo be sticking to 16's it looks then. Good job too as theyre cheaper.

I hear that the bigger size wheels you have on your car then the worse the handling will be. In particular i hear that 18 - 19inch ones would considerably make any car (corrado included) not handle as well as a car with say 16inch wheels My question simply is, is this true....cos i hadn't heard about it until a friend mentioned it.

hey euge where did you get the back lights & what did they cost :?:
