sharpy-vr6

cheers guys i just changed the battery on her and shes fired up like a treat :). now all i have to do is get out tommorow and change the bonnet release cable, looks fun . . . .

thanks guys, that sounds probably about right as the battery has been a little bit naff. luckily i have a family member who can get me a good price on a varta battery so ill change it over soon

basically today i had my first problem with my new corrado. i got in the car this morning and attempted to start the car, it tried turning over however it did not start. im doubting anyone would be able to diagnose over the forums but thought i would quickly throw it to you guys. essentially i think its something to do with the immobiliser system or maybe battery :/ but im not to clued up on motors. when i turn the key i can hear the starter motor turning over the car and its sounds like its attempting to start however after a few seconds it flashes the hazards quick and i can hear a clicking from the dash like a relay or something?? i tried arming and disarming the immobiliser and starting it again but no luck. i dont know what the imobiliser system cuts off either as it says its shuts of 2 key components?? i dont know if its relevant but the last few days ive noticed occasionally while driving along youll get little judders almost like a missfire, this didnt happen everythime just sometimes. some drives would be judder free smooth as you like and other times youd have a few :S. anyway im doubting youll be able to diagnose however any input or thoughts would be greatly appreciated, as i would like to know alot more about the car. thank you

a few fairly local then :), nice to meet you all. i have to admit you rarely see many around so nice to know theres a few near by

Nice to hear from you im from Southampton :) are there many local members??

Hi just thought i would post as i have brought my first corrado, i have wanted one for a few years now and have finally got myself a nice little vr6. its done 180k but been very well looked after, its very tidy inside but could do with a few licks of paint on the outside (maybe a full spray). i shall be getting it all up together over the next few months and i thought i should say a quick hello before asking various stupid questions about my car. ill get some pictures up after waxing her down in some nicer weather. cheers and hopefully ill be on these forums more often from now on.
