Sticking relay? Just a thought Jim

is it just me or do all nova drivers have single wipers? apparently gives them an extra 1000bhp, especially if it parks in the middle of the screen.......... jim

i know this isnt exaclty relevant but, many years ago, i put ngk plugs in my sicrocco scala 1.8i, almost as soon as i did this the cold starting was absolutely crap. thinking that it was something with the injection system i paid a fortune for a local bosch service centre to check it out. he confirmed everything to be ok. however as soon as i changed the plugs for bosch ones the problem went away. so from then on all my cars (vw or otherwise) have used bosch plugs. just a thought jim

got my fronts from TSR. dont know about rears though jim

synta silver, its cheap reliable and doesnt make the engine rattle like thinner "performance" oils can. jim

it seems a shame to ruin a perfectly good 16v, why not sell the 16v to someone just starting their very own corrado love affair and resurrect a poorly/broken G60 or something. just a thought jim

spreay wd 40 on your brake discs or the moisture in the air will corrode them. jim (also with corrado in storage, but not for quite so long)

just dont forget to buy the hairdryer for the boot (trunk) when you get the CRX Jim

Mouse?

The peg that the door lock locates onto is adjustable, you just put a spanner on the hexagon part and loosen it. What is happening is that on a hot day the rubber seals are soft and will allow the door to close onto the peg. However on cold days the rubber seals are harder to compress and therefore the door is harder to close. what has happened is that over the years the peg has gradually moved inwards by a few mm. all you need to do is to move it back out by a fraction.

try removing the inlet manifold and removing the downpipe from above, just a thought jim

Hate to say this to all you guys who have spent a fortune in money (and bleeding knuckles), but normally its the battery that causes this, losing charge in the cold damp air. this sometimes means that the starter soleniod doesnt have enough power to throw gear to engage the flywheel. seen it loads of times on the fords i used to own. also you could try cleaning both the contacts on the battery and the contacts on the starter itself as these often get covered in crap that lets the battery drain charge. jim

mine is the same too jim

i wondered where the chauffeur had left the aston last night, note to self: sack the bugger monday! jim

Sham, hiya mate at last someone listens to me!!!! dont buy them, they are fine if all the roads you drive on are smooth as glass and you dont mind them rusting and siezing up. spend your money on something else jim (ex avo owner)

i had a custom stainless one built on the car for the same price as a magnex without the fitting charge. it looks food, fits perfectly, sounds fine and you can choose the tailpipe design from one of literally hundreds. email me if you want the details for the comapny. they are in sheffield but i think they have branches in other parts of the country. jim

Chrome wheels = bling bling = drug dealer........... nuff said jim

i had exactly the same problem on my 1.8 16v, it seems that scorpion didnt measure up very well when they released this exhaust. i ended up having the whole lot removed and a full stainles system put on (not a scorpion) jim

Does it have ear muffs? jim "Do or do not, there is no try" - master yoda

who do i contact for passes etc? jim

not bad considering i went to the stevie wonder school of photography! jim

cant go ,wedding anniversary weekend and all that, can one of you guys update me by phone after the meeting jim

i thought somebody had bought there own mobile garage along for a minute! jim

i checked the standard hoses on etka (1.8 16v corrado vs 1.8 16v golf) and they have the same part numbers, so in my opinion they should (dons crash helmet!) fit, i havent got round to buying a set yet so let me know how you get on jim
