The camber is adjustable by the two top hub bolts which bolt the hub unit to the front suspension strut. I adjusted mine by using a small spirit level tapped to a straight piece of wood, and was able to set my camber perfectly central. **************************************************************************** Please note you can only check / adjust camber and tracking on perfect straight level ground, and make sure your tyre pressures are correct, other wise you will just keep getting false readings as the car and ground have to be both level. :geek: Andy the only other thing to do is to make sure everything you unbolted is done up and back in the right place. The other thing I've had in the past is excessive brake dust on the front brakes coursing a grinding / rubbing noise, all I did was remove the brake pads and clean the brake discs, calipers, and clean and regrease (using copper grease) the brake pads. I hope this helps. Good luck. :thumbleft: Si

I believe all new and most recent vehicles use antifreeze which is red, yellow or purple in colour, which lasts for around 10 years after which it is changed. In much older vehicles including the Corrado the antifreeze is blue in colour, and is normally changed every 2 to 3 years as the blue antifreeze has a shorter life span, this blue antifreeze you can purchase from Halfords. You can't or shouldn't really mix the different types of antifreeze as they have different additive levels, you can put the newer type antifreeze i.e the long life type in to the older vehicles but you'll have to drain out the whole, coolant system as you can't really mix the different types of antifreeze. I hope this helps. Cheers. Si

Hello Michael, I've got a set of original Corrado wheels 4 stud fixings complete with all centre caps and wheel bolts, these wheels are off a 1994 2.0 16v Corrado, been in my shed for over 13 years as spare, they are 5 spoke as well. These wheels will fit all Corrado's apart from the VR6 as they have 5 stud fixing . Will sell the wheels for around £250.00 ish for all four. I do have a few other Corrado spares as well but only for the 16 valvers. Many thanks Si
