    Clutch foot rest

    I tried that but they don't seem to bite, should there be some U clips to screw into?
  5. So after tripping and cleaning the interior of my Corrado I got to putting the foot rest back in and...can't remember how it fits! Any ideas/!
  6. Thanks for that lesarcsneil, the wires are red & white and yellow 7 brown. Come to think of it, the fan does keep going when turned off, you may well be right.
  7. Welcome! I am not a million miles away from you, near Spilsby. Everyone here is really helpful, even if you are a muppet like myself!
  8. It really is! So much needs doing but I just want a drive!
  9. Interior is back in! Literally not touched the corrado for a month, started up straight away, left it running whilst I re-fitted the front seats ready for a drive but...tax is out, boo!!! MOT due beginning of November so not wanting to tax and the 1 month rolling doesn't start til November :( Pretty sure it will fail the MOT on rear brakes if nothing else, they seem very weak. On the plus side, the mrs says that after the wedding next year we can save up to get some welding done, means I can get the windscreen surround sorted :)
  10. FINALLY FIXED THE WINDOW!!! Its taken a month but it's finally done! So happy I could cry![ATTACH=CONFIG]79299[/ATTACH]
  11. Well she has remained untouched for 2 weeks! Combination of bad weather and lack of time. Just ordered rivets and screws to hopefully (finally) sort the passenger window and get her water tight and put the front back together. Once that's done I can get the interior clean and back in, progress may yet be made![ATTACH=CONFIG]79288[/ATTACH] Also found this wire, most confused as to its function. Comes out near the airbox, can't tell if it's supposed to be attached to something or not. The tips look like they are a oxidised but they are cut clean. [ATTACH=CONFIG]79289[/ATTACH]
  12. Well it's been a slow week or so! Went to my local stealers, couldn't help with the bits I need unless I have the chassis number...which was at home...30 miles away, grrr! Should have seen that coming! So, as it stands, new electric window motor still isn't fitted so thumbs have been twiddling! Finally got the drivers side light out, pig of a job! The third screw at the back would not shift! Much brute force and swearing finally shifted it, no idea how I didn't break the headlamp! Rust treated and painted a few bits around the light mounting points, that's it, depressing really! A pic of the battery tray before and after :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]79092[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]79093[/ATTACH]

    ???

    Evening all, yet another silly question! I am trying to remove airbox to have a bit of a clean up/rust treat. What is all the gubbins attached to the top? Big metal bit with pipes. I started loosening but then it smelt of petrol, got scared, tightened it up and went for a curry :) What is it all and is it easy enough to remove? Car is a 2 litre valver btw.
  14. If I can get my aqua valver anywhere near as tidy as yours I will be a happy man! Thanks for the advice, hope you get it back on the road soon, mine has been sorned for a month and i'm struggling to resist the urge to tax it again, 6 months must be killing you!
  15. Hi, just having a read through this, your car looks amazing! you say you used loft insulation in the rear quarters, did you glue it in or just stuff it? Is it worth doing?
  16. Couple of little bits, part 2a, 2b and 4 for both sides please if possible? [ATTACH=CONFIG]78961[/ATTACH]
  17. Wow, Vagcat, never knew that existed, most wonderful. Thanks very much!
  18. Time for my daily silly insignificant question! What type of fixing holds the rear seatbelt cover on? Is it the same sort of screw that holds on the other interior trim? If so, where can I get them from as I am drawing blanks on searches. I have attached a link to show the part I mean. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-Rear-Passenger-Side-Seat-Belt-Trim-/360963263223?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item540b164af7

    Rivet size

    Anyone know what size rivets I need to refit my electric window regulator and motor?
  21. Well this weekend I have yet again done pretty much bugger all! Whipped off the rear strut brace, will be putting it up for sale next week sometime when I can sort some pics. Gave the headlining a bit of a clean, it isn't great but my arms were hurting! I really want to get the interior back together, hopefully my passenger window regulator and cavity wax should be here Monday so I can get them in, just need a bit of sound deadening and a carpet cleaner and all will be well with the world. As I couldn't do much more inside I thought i'd be nosey round the front. Painted my front grill black this week as a test to see if I could avoid forking out for a new one...awful effort so that is added to the list, can tolerate it for now though. Whilst that was off I thought I'd have a look at the battery tray after seeing a few posts, all fixings rusty! Ground out the 2 top screws on the passenger headlight and the unit fell out! The third mount is rotten! Straightened it up and rust remedied it but I think it may need a visit from a welder :( On the plus side, the battery tray looks pretty solid! Gave it a clean up, few patches of surface rust, again remedied, ready for a lick of paint next week. Just putting some old black metal paint on it, as it's covered I don't mind so much, at least it will be protected. Finally, back to blacked the headlamp surround, came up ok and matches the grill pretty well, maybe a replacement isn't so necessary. Will try and get some pics up next week, the woman has been using her laptop solidly for work the last 2 weeks and I can't upload anything on my work one :(
  22. I need about 10 trim screws, the metal phillips head ones that hold the plastic interior trim. Price posted?
  23. Gutted! Seems like a great price but I'm too far away :( Thought i'd make you guys aware just in case though. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Estoril-alloys-mk2-mk3-golf-jetta-corrado-vag-4x100-15-/321432504090?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item4ad6dec71a P.S. sorry admin if this isn't the correct place
  24. Sweet, thought as much but would be just my luck id get the wrong one!
  25. Do you have the passenger side window mechanism? If so, how much posted?
