looks like one of the worst cases of serious willie waving i've ever seen- reminds me of the '70's when it was "cool" to run loud massive sidepipe exhausts. 1 of those upswept pipes looks bad/sad enough but 4 is truly tragic :lol:

valver-as it started when you moved the wires possibly a bad connection is causing the problem. suggest you check they are all good, if not maybe time for a good auto electrician to check it out as a non-starter is a bit of a biatch. ps- i would not expect the new switch to be faulty but i found it was worth buying genuine vw parts even if slightly more expensive, the local vw parts guys would get to know you! :roll: & help you out with parts/advice etc. good luck fella :thumbleft:

doh- try checking the level on the dipstick :study:

congratulations, certainly looks good in the photos & good spec. will it really rev to 9000 rpm ? if it would i assume rev limiter would cut in at approaching 150 mph :angel:

struan-just spoken to a guy called andy whose got 2 g60's, says he's got a good rear bumper available. he's got an advert for the car he's breaking on ebay item no. 170019570361, told him about the forum & he said he would join. he's in nottinghamshire. hope this helps.

Struan-sorry to hear what's happened. surely best way forward is to get hold of a good 2nd hand rear bumper-somebody on here must have one. good luck mate, as for the bloke who damaged your car i would leave well alone, sounds like he will probably self destruct one way or another soon anyway :scrambleup:

maybe the engine's had it's chips :chef: , sorry mate couldn't resist that one.

i think once you've enjoyed owning a corrado you keep them in your blood, anytime you see another you admire it & the determination & time of the owner to keep it in the cared for condition that 99.9% of them are in. :notworthy:

guess the white will go nicely with the winter snow :lol: , bet you'll be keeping it away from that stuff tho'. good luck with it.

tragic, one less rado, just hope the occupants got out ok

walesy- unfortunately the "newest" rado will now be 10 years old & unless you can find a low mileage "minter" will have seen a bit of life. lets face it rados are'nt normally used for posing in either so will have usually exceeded 70 mph on one or two occassions :lcop: specced-up low mileage, one or two owner cars are now getting very rare unless you can get to corrado heaven in a parallel universe where vw/karmann are still making them as we speak, blimey is it time for my medicine again so soon? :nuts:

edd- i can recommend vws in marsh barton for mechanical work & kynastons for body work also in marsh barton. get their nos. from the phone book. get down :afro: there & talk to these guys they are enthusiasts & know what they are doing. if your'e lucky they may have a corrado or 2 on the premises too.

congratulations, "they don't make them like that anymore" :salute:

don't like 'em either, reckon half-smoked would be the way to go.

i tried drinking it but did'nt really notice much difference :nuts: , seriously though it's great that it worked for your vr, now add some optimax & that baby should really fly :x-mas:
