hi im looking for a passenger driveshaft, must have anti vibration dampener attached dosent matter if its loose. and a avd on its own, wanted as evidence for a court case. many thanks Marc 07970167277

I,ll let you know how i get on, the police rekon i should have been aware of the anti vibration dampener being loose, they used words like, (we cant see how you managed to drive it straight and must have sounded like a bomb going off under the car) ive read a few posts on here about this and downloaded the pages which should help if i can use in court. quite like (supercharged) knowledge, found that very helpfull and another guy had a loose avd and said he couldnt feel any vibration at any speed. thing is any noise would have been drowned out by the lysholm twin screw charger anyway and where the brake pipe is hanging down theres nothing for the avd to knock on exept the pipe which wouldnt make a noise anyway.at worst at about 70mph it felt like the balancing was out but then agan it could have been. also i think because the car had upgraded alloys, suspension, engine mounts etc i think the part being boken its affect would have been greatly diminished as the car is no longer standard. it had 8months on its mot and had been in the garage the previous week for tyres and balancing. ive managed to get a barrister and a independent vehicle examiner who i should meet next week, aint been put off mind, the vr with a 4 motion conversion is awesome! thanks for the replys guys Marc ---------- Post added at 12:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ---------- y Do you have a link for that mate?

sorry think i should have posted this in technical, and any newbies reading this please dont be put off, corrados are the best car ive ever owned!

Hi guys, just wondered if anybody has had problems with there brake pipes splitting from dodgy pipe mounting, ive had 2 corrado,s now and its happend to me twice in the space of a few months. The first time it was a g60 with a lysholm charger very loud!, the anti vibration dampener came loose on the driveshaft, worked its way up to the brake pipe that was hanging down to low and wore through it, unfortunately i was approaching a roundabout at the time and totalled the car, thing is the car didnt show any sighns of the dampener being loose, no knocking and no vibration through the steering wheel. the police think other wise and im in crown court next month for knowingly driving a vehicle that was defective. at worst at about 70mph it felt like the balancing was out but then again it could have been. the other time happend last week after i purchased a vr6 from london and drove it home, again the brake pipe wasnt mounted properly and was able to hang down touching the driveshaft, thankfully it bled out overnight and had no brakes in the morning, taken loads of photos for the court. Its just not something you check everytime you jump into a car. i must be the unluckiest or luckiest guy alive. Just wondered if this has happend to anybody else and in the hope your opinions or stories might help me in court next month, cos i really dont fancy going to jail. lol:bonk:

thats great guys thanks i,ll have a play tomorrow, just thankfull it bled out overnight, it didnt last time and i totalled my last one at a roundabout.

Hi guys, bought a vr6 last week, drove it home and in the morning i had no brakes, the passenger side brake hose wasnt set in its mount properly and as a result was hanging down chaffing on the driveshaft wearing away at the hose (very lucky they bled out overnight), ive bled both front brakes and the master cylinder and all is well now. but since ive done this ive noticed it dosent go into gear very well, theres a slight delay. is it all part of the same system and any suggestions?:scratch:

Hi, I did own a Corrado Bahn Brenner G60 until my partner had a crash in it last year. My partner upon being interviewed by the police after his recovery in hospital has been cautioned and is due to go to crown court this month. He is accused of dangerous driving & knowingly driving a vehicle that was defective. Very serious, not prison but a possible suspended sentence or ban as he has no criminal record or no points. Problem being an Anti Vibration Dampener on the driveshaft. As he approached a roundabout the brake pipe burst, he collided with a Fiesta, nobody was hurt thank god except him (12 broken ribs).From what the police accident investigator said in his interview, that there was no way he wouldn’t not have known about it, phases like a bomb going off under the car and we can’t see how you managed to drive it straight and knocking noises/vibrations though the steering wheel. The car drove perfectly! The boot that goes on the end of the driveshaft and is connected to gearbox had perished and this dampener (ring) had moved along the driveshaft to rub on the brake pipe causing it to leak. Has anybody experienced similar problems or does anybody have any thoughts on this, as we need to gather as much evidence as possible to prove his innocence! Your help would be greatly appreciated.
