    d'oh, just read through the whole of the thread and discovered that it is indeed Bally's car.

     

    I havent been using this forum all that often laley, and seem to have missed loads of stuff.

     

    Bally your car looks absolutely awesome. Truly stunning, and it's not often i say that about a Corrado. How long have you had those wheels on it? Last time i saw it was @ Stealth a couple of years ago for a rolling road, and it didnt THAT good. I think i'm going to treat my car to some TLC and detailing. I feel guilty seeing those pictures!

    if you're like me, you hardly ever use CD's in the car any more!

    i wish i didnt cos i they end up getting scratched and ruined no matter how careful you think you are going to be.

     

    remember if you are buying an ipod head unit, some of the early ones are crap and slow (i know cos i bought one and never use it cos its useless)

     

    could be better just buying any head unit that has an auxiliary input and use the headphone jack. that way you can control your ipod from the ipod rather than thru the head unit.

    Right then folks. Need your help / advice pretty please.

     

    My brother in law has just called me to say that he has accidentally filled 9.5litres of petrol in my sisters VW MK5 Golf GT TDi.

     

    The tank was almost empty and has a capacity of 55 litres.

     

    He has driven about a mile and a half in it and it drove totally fine.

     

    The AA man came out and gave him two options:

     

    1) Take it to the dealer, pull your trousers down and bend over the desk while they pummel you good and proper. (and charge you £500 for the benefit!)

     

    2)Put an additive in there AND fill it to the brim with diesel to dilute what is in there. Keep topping it up with diesel every 5-10 litres.

     

    He said that option 2 is a safe bet and commonly practised.

     

    As you can imagine he is worried cos its quite a new car and doesnt want to go for option 1 for obvious reasons. (and my sister will kill him when she gets back from her holiday)

     

    Over to you folks. Anyone know what to do?

    i have had this problem and it was a leak somewhere in the hydraulic system if i remember correctly.

     

    The solution was to have it re-bled. The guy at the gargae said it would work fine for a few months.

     

    it's not been over a year and it is still fine. Occasionally i get the problem back but i havent done anything about it and its all good.

     

    The correct solution is to replace one or both master and clutch cylinder and check for any leaking fluid anywhere in the system (i am going from memory and am not as sharp as some people on here about the names of everything) That would cost a couple of hundred quid plus an hour or two of labour?

    I have a 4x60w Alpine too (diff model tho) and can't fault the sound. Crisp and well defined and if you couple it with Alpine speakers, its awesome sound for the cash. Its loud enough on its own to kick out the tunes, but not to unbearable levels.

    Corradude Which Alpine speakers do you have and where have you got them fitted? I was told that the front doors and dash spaces are so small that you are really restricted to what can go in there so i left them as stock, but frankly they are the weakest link and let the rest of it down.

     

    Jim, if you can stretch to a decent Alpine head unit, that would be a great start. I have had all sorts of other makes over the years but always find Alpine the best for sound quality. It doesn't have to be all singing all dancing. Just a decent slightly above entry level unit. I'm gonna go to see my mate that has an ICE shop. will ask his advice while i am there.
