mad-dog

nothing like driving round in a nugget wouldnt get rid of mine for anything sorry :)

would like to have this done to my nugget :) where are you based?

i may have one but will need it to stop raining before i can get to see and get it out for you hopefully tomorrow or monday eve if the weather holds up

have to get wire cutters out to do that but would have thought the drivers side switch would have done the job?

ok so i had a problem with my passenger window mech went down wouldnt go up on investigation realised that its been butchered so not as it should be so aqquired a propper one and fitted same problem goes downn wont go up anyone got any ideas ???

had a similar problem on mine turned out theres a multiplug that sits on thhe dizzy and one of the wires had broken off simple fix try that its a start :) hope you get it sorted

mine seems to have been the fuse box have replaced it and let the car run and so far all good :)

this could be a good thread for everyone i would love to find out who has owned my cars :) i am told it started its life in Ireland and obviously know the last owner

the only problem with not taking the carpets out is that the water may stagnate in the soundproofing ??and with all the nice smellies you put in it wont take that away

now sorted guys many thanks :)

did one of my cars carpets with a jet wash gets ALL the dirt out then left it for four days to dry in a warm place am going to do mine next and redo the sound proofing as was told the same thing (it will need replacing )

need a fuse box for my 1990 1.8 think they are pretty much all the same tho please guys either posted or local to poole dorset

cant see the pics as they have been deleted??? but at the end of the day i am not a purist and as far as i can see a corrado is a corrado and should be cherished as such i may get slated by some for saying that but hey ho enjoy your car whatever it may be

had four or five alternators refurbed over the yrs ( different cars ) and have always been spot on obviously using the wrong back street garage bud

ok i have my nugget ( yelllow 16v) and have now "aquired" another corrado (2litre) the big question is should i keep it and restore it or should i break it for parts ( engine for me and the rest to sell) ?? thoughts would help me sway to the right choice here

done it :)

you can get the alternator refurbed for about £40.00 ( i just got mine done for that recently)

removed the fusebox yesterday to try and get out the melted fuse blade stripped it down and repaired it today i reinstalled it now all i need to do is get a new relay and hopefully the little beast will run again

may have been for james _c2 but not for me :( mine doesnt have the lambda sensor on it so itcant be but i think it may be the fuel pump relay as i have removed the fuse box(to try and get the melted fuse out) and had a cursory look at the relay and its showing signs of shorting so hopefully replacing this will cure my problem hope james has his sorted too :)

right got my raddo at the beginning of the month love the car but now have a serious issue with it not long after i got it it "blew" the fuse for the fuel pump ok replaced the fuse had a goodlook round and cant see a problem with wiring ( half the underside of the dash out to check) i bought myself a workshop manual so i know whats where and all looks ok now running the engine whilst checking a few other bits out i smell burning dash is still out so look at fuses and the fuel pump fuse is melting not bloowing just melting back to the workshop manual and see it should be a 20 amp fuse not the 15 that was in there ( weird it didnt blow) so replaced with a 20 amp start engine to check all is ok before i put all the dash back, all good dash back in, start up again and strong smell again this time with smoke fuse is melting again question is whats making it do it???? all the wiring looks ok! any help would be appreciated ---------- Post added at 1:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ---------- have just checked and i cant see a lambda sensor ???? as another post said they shared a live ???

surely if it was earthing out it would just blow the fuse?? i have the same problem on mine and am trying to find out why will try the lambda sensor ( didnt know i had one as mines an 90 16v tho)

spotted a nice looking white raddo in poole yesterday other half saw it parks at civic offices in poole too anyone on here?
