Looking for nice condition bonnet, passenger door & rear bumper in Aqua Blue LC5U. Needs to be great condition as I'm being a bit lazy. My existing bonnet is rust free but has some poor paint marks & rear bumper has some crazing. Thinking that nice condition stuff will improve the appearance & match better than the existing. If I can't find any good replacements then I'll have to do the work & get my existing ones painted. There are some on ebay but they seemed a bit expensive + they are up in Cumbria so not sure how I would get them. I'm hoping to find something in the South of england that I can pick up and take back to Jersey.

yes, that's it, just bolts to the door. Small items to Jersey are best through normal Royal Mail. It's the same as sending anywhere in the UK then. cheers

Looking for a drivers door latch/lock mechanism as the door occasionally pops open. It's for a 94 model VR6 Corrado

ok, thanks. Just checked that and the wiring seems as it should be. When I ran vagcom again with the new intake manifold temp sensor, it still showed the same error message with the fan running from the moment the car was started.

Ran vagcom on my vr6 auto . It came up with open or short to plus on the intake manifold temp sensor(G72). I changed it for a new one but then the fan came on permanently! Put the old one back in and the fan goes off. Not sure whether that means the old one isn't working or the new one is and there is a fault on the fan? Anyone here had similar?

Didn't realise it was a common problem. Thought it was just a heavy handed previous owner on my car. Can probably fabricate something to replace the creased slider but it sounds like the label/graphic trim on the outside wont be easy to find in good condition. ---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ---------- Sent you a pm

Still tinkering and just had a look at the fusebox. There is a connector hanging down in front of the relays. Anyone know what it is? [ATTACH=CONFIG]74052[/ATTACH] I've also just run VAGCOM and just the one error code came up - Intake Manifold Temp Sensor G72. Found the sensor and it looks pretty old so will replace. It's about the only part I've not found on ebay so far so maybe it's called something other than an intake manifold temp sensor?

Has anyone got an automatic gearbox selector that's in good condition. Mine has got creases to the graphics and the internal sliding part is all screwed up inside. [ATTACH=CONFIG]74051[/ATTACH] Also need a door speaker . Would need sending to Jersey in the Channel Islands.

I read about it a while back. Looked like a good buy. He's still got it then?

I pulled the selector trim housing off and you're right, there is a thin plastic gaiter . Mine is sort of creased and tangled up within the lever mechanism so I'll have to try and find another.

yes, left side so if you'd like to sell it let me know how much , etc. thanks

Hi, can anyone tell me if there is something missing from the auto gear selector on my vr6. Should it have brushes or something? [ATTACH=CONFIG]73988[/ATTACH]

Has anyone got the small tailgate trim piece that covers the hinge they can sell me. It's for the near side [ATTACH=CONFIG]73987[/ATTACH]

Thanks, hopefully that will help me sort the fan problem. I just want the car to ride as I remember it with the standard set up, nothing fancy. The Corrado certainly left an impression with me and there aren't many other cars I owned 20+ years ago that I'd be happy to own today Just spent the last 10 mins fixing the sunroof. New old stock motor worked a treat - 30 quid on ebay.

thanks, will do. That's an ex Jersey car in your avatar isn't it?

Thanks for the replies. New HT leads did the trick and the car is now running very nicely. Managed to get a new old stock sunroof motor on ebay so will fit that and see if it fixes the sunroof problem. Not sure of the part I need for the heater blower problem that only works on 4. Is it the entire blower motor or something else I need. No breakers on Jersey so I'm looking at ordering new or ebay. Also need the near side roof/tailgate trim piece that covers the tailgate hinge if anyone has got one that they can sell me. The only one on ebay is broken and he won't send to Jersey (which costs exactly the same to post as the mainland for small items with Royal Mail!) Other things I've done include a new rear wheel bearing. The whining noise has now gone. I think the car rides a bit crashy at the rear over the bumps so will probably change the shocks/springs - any recommendations as to what to go for. Nothing too expensive. It's also had a new battery, couple of tyres and a couple of new hoses so not much else to do now.

Sunroof not fixed. It was closed and when I locked the car with the key, it decided to open itself!! Then of course, it wouldn't close so had to crank it shut manually. Anyone have any ideas what's going on? thanks

Not cleaned yet but here are some pics. First job today was to try and work out why the sunroof didn't work. Found it had been disconnected so connected it up and hey presto it worked. Trouble is it wouldn't then close. I stripped the switch out and wound shut manually. The switch looked ok but gave it a quick clean and plugged it back in and now the sunroof works. I need to put some grease in the rails as it looks a little dry but hopefully it will carry on working. Next job is the blower as it only works on the highest setting. Ht leads, etc should arrive tomorrow so hopefully it will start running smoother.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow once I've given it a good clean. It needs a decent run not the 40mph limit of Jersey but that will have to wait until I visit the UK. You can find some gems in the Channel Islands as nobody puts big mileage on their cars here.

Hi, Just bought a 1 owner 1994 VR6. Running a bit rough but hopefully new HT leads, coil pack and plugs will sort out. It's only done 80k and has spent it's life in the Channel Islands. Had 3 Corrado before - 2 x G60 & a VR6 . Got rid of my last one in 1993 as needed a big car (Land Rover Discovery - so the performance come down was a shock!) and hoping I'm going to enjoy ownership again.
