The "what I did to my Corrado today" thread...

[Jon_vr6 1]

Noticed one of my headlights was dim (and was told by Katy and my bro) full main beam wouldnt even work, had a look at the wiring (uprated loom) and noticed one of the connectors had come loose pushed back in jobs a goodun why cant all problems with the corrado be that easy :D

Paid for a gearbox rebuild after a selector fork took out a load of nice expensive metal bits...

 

Didn't have to pay labour though, as he cocked up the rebuild at first, which was nice of em to do!

Was out for a Sunday spin when dashboard starting beeping at me. Then I noticed that the temp was 134! And I also had the battery light flashing at me and the temp light flashing! Then as I stopped the ABS light started flashing too. A quick check under the bonnet and the cause was plain to see. The Altenator belt had broken. Luckily my girlfriend is an RAC member so a quick call to her and she arrived after about 15 mins. She rang the RAC and the nice chap came within about 25 mins. After a bit of spanner action to get some stubborn nuts off he managed to replace the belt at the roadside. £5.95 and about 20 mins and I was on my way which I thought was brilliant.

 

Second thoughts this wasn't so much what I did to my Corrado but what someone else did on my behalf.

That's not at all bad really. Pretty quick for an alternator belt that isn't it?

Passed 125 000 km's :)

Guess it equals roughly 77 700 miles :)

[Wullie 1]

Hit 190,000 miles today. Gave the steering wheel a little pat. Opened the ashtray and the spring broke. Oh happy Corrado days.

 

Edit, just noticed this is my 650th post. Must be a round number type of day.

Got my sunroof working, so it tilt and slide's now! :)

[jamiehamy 0]

Fitted standard suspension - drives like a dream with Koni t/a's over our horrendous Scottish roads!

 

Fitted new clutch master cylinder. Feels much better, but still not 100% happy, seems to be varying degrees of resistance. Sometimes it's light, sometimes heavy. Thoughts anyone?

 

Next up - door striker pins.

[wy906 0]

I changed a light bulb on Saturday.

 

I’m a fvcking genius. :D

Got the sunroof back together! :lol:

Fitted my new In.Pro fog & indicator lights 8)

Bit too much black around the fogs for my liking but they are a fairly good fitment

Cleaned out my MAF sensor to stop it from cutting out all the time when cold - was such a drag...!
