My corrado vr6 seems to have an excess of cabin noise when at speed. Its not the engine noise, I can hardly hear this until I get above 4500rpm, its drowned out by the cabin noise. Its almost like tyre hum, but doesn't change with the type of road surface. Is this just something to live with or a symptom of something expensive...??

I've just bought a new pump from the scrappies and it seems to be working. The pump is now functioning when I lock it and so far its locking both doors, boot and fuel cap so looks like the pump was faulty. The only problem now is that the pump only works on the second turn of the key on opening, so takes to key twists to open all doors, which might pose problems for RCL when its fitted...unless of course this is the way its supposed to be? (When locking it up it only takes one key turn) Thanks for all your replies!! :D

Cheers for that, but does the pin sit flush with the outside of the casing or seat into it? I can push it in a coupe of mm, but that's it, will it go in further with a bit of 'gentle' persuasion?

Sorry, should have given a bit more info... Both locks work in their own right, i.e. you can lock them with the key, but its a bit of a hassle! I thought it was down to the passenger side lock as it did not have a lock button so I took th epannel off and noticed that the pressure/vaccum switch was missing. A trip to the local scrappie and a lot of fiddling laterI had fitted a new one, but alas still no joy. I then tracked the main pump down in the boot and reconneced the filler cap p/v switch, but still no joy. The fuse is OK (I think its the 21st from the left) and I do hear the pump trying to work, but intermittently. I guess it could be a duff pump, or dodgy connections on the drivers side lock, but this is as far as I've got and wondered if anyone had faced similar problems....? Cheers for comments so far.

My steering wheel has play in all axis. It seems to be due to the pivot for the height adjustor which houses two threded pins, one each side, threaded I assume for extraction...? Is this a common problem and if so what's the fix, new pins? It doesn't wobble at speed so its not a tracking/wheel ballence problem.

Can anyone advise on how to fix central locking for my VR6?
