  1. Are those bulbs like some of the other bulbs on the interior and you have to put them in the correct way round? I changed my interior bulb and it didnt work. A mate suggested i turned it round and hey presto I had light in my cab again :)
  2. I was tempted by taking a drive up in my Caddy as she is for sale but i dont finish work until 4.30am and its a good few hours drive for me

    Coilovers?

    Does anybody have any coilovers for a '92 2.0 16v? The closer to Lincolnshire the better. Thanks
  6. Have you still got the seats? what kind of rear bench have you got?
  7. Do you still have the Grille Spoiler - £10?
  8. Ah dude that looks awesome. Im not sure i could do -120mm on the roads round my way but i would love to be that low
  9. what size tyres and spacers you got on those 928 wheels?
  10. Did you have to do any arch work to fit those? And also how much have you lowered your Corrado?
  11. Today I decided to buy my Corrado some new wheels. The awful wheels that came with the car have to go. The only problem as they are Porsche wheels i need to find some adapters. I'm borrowing a set a friend has tomorrow to see how thick i need mine. I don't want to do any arch work unless I have to
  12. Ok guys i know there are a few threads on here to do with this but i cant seem to find them anywhere on the internet. The part number is 536 721 555 W. I have a 1992 2.0 16v which from reading it has the hook on the pedal end. Ive currently got GSF searching but they have yet to call me back. Is there anywhere you know i can get one from today? Ive botched it for now but i need it fixing properly. Im driving from wales to norfolk tonight
  13. just had a fiddle about under the bonnet and looked at the accelerator cable and it was a little slack. I put a small washer behind the rubber stopper and its given me the power back that ive lost. So the job now it to try and find a new cable and fit it
  14. well its not the brakes for sure they are nice and cool. she has a total lack of power on the hills. even with my foot to the floor she is struggling like mad. its not like i have a lot of weight in the car either :(
  15. thanks guys. some of that will have to be checked when i get home as im in the middle of wales atm. just gone to check the plugs and i didnt realise how deep they was inside the engine i will have find something to get them out to have a look at them. im about to take her out for a spin so i will see how the brakes are after that.
  16. right i will get the spark plug spanner out then. i pulled the ht leads off yesterday and they was clean and un marked
  17. it didnt sound right going through a tunnel when i put it into second and put my foot down. As you say it feels like on old 1.4 fiesta with no power. I will have to check the brakes when i take her for another run. She drove for 4hours yesterday through snow and rain and i didnt notice the brakes but then i didnt think to look when i got out the car haha. Any other ideas just incase?
  18. I took her out for a drive yesterday and it felt like she wasnt running on full power. I put my foot down and there is hardly any power even when i rev her up 6500rpm. Do any of you guys have any ideas as to what it could be? I have a 1992 2.0 16v
  19. Some drunk decided to rip my passenger mirror off on their way home from town on friday night :( Has anybody got one in blue for a 92valver?
  20. Thanks guys. With her lad being 3 at the time of the new baby coming along we maybe able to get one of those little trollies that you stand kids on to put on the pram to get him about as his own pushchair hopefully wont be needed as much. The rear doors havent been a problem at the minute as its only been him in the back but im sure they could eventually be a problem with them both. I know there is plenty of space in the back for both car seats without having to compimise my comfy driving position. I know that sounds weird but Im sure we all like to drive comfortably :) I would love to keep the corrado if I had to buy a bigger car but my caddy has been a long term rolling project from when I found it in a shed nearly 5 years ago. Ive always said that if it had to go it would be to buy a bus or something else aircooled thats a bit more unique. I really want to stay VW or atleast VAG if I got something else. I couldnt just go out and buy a ford mondeo (sorry for swearing there) just because its big enough for all we need.
  21. Not sure if this is the right section but i need some advice guys. I have recently found out that my girlfriend is pregnant and hoping that the Corrado will not have to go to make space for a bigger car. She already has a 2year old and he will be 3 when the new one is born. Does anyone on here have kids and use their Corrado as the daily family car? What sort of space is the boot like and how much ICE can you still fit in there? I love music so want to keep as much as possible in there for all round quality. Any advice or comments are appriciated. Ive only owned my 2.0 16v about 6 months now and I can only really come up with a Bora as another option of the Corrado is to small :(
