  1. how much for it delivered? thank you
  2. After a decat pipe if anybody has one. Thank you.
  3. Well I did the oil change yesterday, along with a new filter. Thought I had the wrong filter at first but turned out it was the correct one. Went for a spin and it is a heck of a lot quieter and happier. Pretty happy so far, touch wood.
  4. I think they're a bit up in the air at the moment, theres a LOT of rough examples out there, and similarly a lot of enthusiast owned cars with no end of money spent. They're only getting rarer, and I think in a few years these standard low milers will creep up a fair bit.
  5. It was on Pistonheads straight after you sold it, for about £2200 if I remember correctly, then again on eBay, although I think his buy it now is rather optimistic. I think the bonnet is a wrap too. You not tempted? :)
  6. Also, are there any other differences with an earlier VR? It's still an ABV but it has the distributor, hoping the oil filter is correct that I've ordered. Just ordered 6 litres of Helix and a filter so will probably get done tomorrow, weather permitting.
  7. I think it'll get a subtle drop and maybe a decent back box. That will be about it really. Oil change due mind.
  8. No, yours was probably one of the better one I viewed, I went to see 5 in total. 2 of which were absolute shockers! This was over the span of several months mind. I went off the idea to be honest, then this cropped up. I have seen yours for sale a further two times! Looks like they're trying to make a quick quid.
  9. Yeah, to be honest I've been after another for the last few months, but I really didn't fancy a ropey high miler with an array of mods. Sent him a fairly cheeky offer and he accepted as he had taken it in in part ex, and admitted to not knowing much about them. It won't be getting much in the way of mods and will stay fairly standard. :) Edit: It's done most of the miles in the last 3 years too, it was on 55k in 2008 or so. Also has full history up to about 2010, including a copy of the original PDI which I thought was cool.
  10. Taken it out again this evening and it rose to 85 at one point, then dropped just hovering above 70. Meh.
  11. Hello all, I snapped this up when it appeared on eBay for a very attractive price. It is my second K reg VR, although this one is an earlier 1992 model, with the distributor. Just wondering if it is known on here? Not really done much yet, I'm fairly certain the TS is stuck open, and as it was fairly low on oil I topped it up to a more.. acceptable level. It has a bit of crazing on the front bumper, one of the side supports on the seats has collapsed and the gear stick is a bit worn, thats about it for bad points. Good points are its only done 87,000 miles, has 4 previous owners, and is completely bog standard bar mk4 rear calipers. It appears to have been looked after as fuel filter looks recent, as does the air filter. Someone has thankfully done the rear upgrade along with some braided hoses, and the fronts are standard with some green stuff pads and recent Brembo disks. The bushes all look good condition and theres no untoward noises, knocks or bangs. There is only a tiny rattle from the sun roof which I will sort, it really is the tightest and most rattle free Corrado I've driven.. Engine seems quiet and smooth like. All in all pretty pleased with it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]76273[/ATTACH]

    Dipstick?

    Well I've topped it up to mid way through the cross hatching with the funnel on, as it looks like that is how it was intended. Maybe they are for early ones? It took a good 1.8 litres to start reading, but seems fine now and seems.. happier. It'll do till I get a full oil change done.

    Dipstick?

    Well this is a 1992. It sits flush with the orange part in place but removed it doesn't line up properly so presumably it is meant to be there. Which if it is, means I'm fairly low on oil..

    Dipstick?

    Quick question, hope it's not too idiotic. My last VR most definitely didn't have the orange funnel guide that sits below the handle. Am I correct in saying I need to leave this on for a correct oil reading? I ask because a recent car I bought has one and with it on and inserted it will not read any oil. I'm wondering if its reading correct and its very low on oil. Removing it gets a reading at the correct level, so I'm not sure how the previous owner has been gauging it. Sorry if it's a stupid question.
