Can anyone recommend anyone - happy to travel. -
Hi, I'm looking for a experienced mechanic / garage to work on my VR6. I don't want to book it into any old garage hopefully find one that has knowledge of Corrado's. Does any one have any suggestions / recommendations of people / places they have used before? Thanks in advanced

Hi, I have a fuel leak from the box section where the pipes run down from the engine towards filter. I have replaced the black "flow" pipe from the filter to the engine with some pipe I had but not correct size externally, this has stopped the leak but the car still will not idle smoothly. Before the small leak the car was running perfectly, it started by being difficult to start but better when warm then I noticed the small leak. I'm happy the pipe I've replaced this is the correct size internally just not good enough for permenant fix. So has anyone got any ideas what this could be?........ Also Can some tell me where I can purchase a new file line kit from, tried GSF, TPS, VW, etc but can't find anyone that does a kit. Any help would be great as wanted to take her away next weekend!

Hi, I also live in Surrey and will keep an eye out for any in same colour in case number plates changed. Hope it turns up soon for you.

If the jet car is out it will feel a bit warmer. Glad a few other corrado's are going to be there, hopefully bump in to some to have a nose about.
