Basically the top half of it is missing! I paid £55 from local VW Stealer, with a 10% CCGB discount, for the new ones Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Not sure on part number because the invoice they gave me just listed the indicators. He had to order them, but said that there were quite a few sets available. It is Drift Bridge Banstead (Surrey) if you want to give them a call. Though Veedubmachine in Cornwall supplied my last set, also a couple of sets on eBay currently ---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:30 AM ---------- Do you know the part number as I have been to the local dealer and they were not interested in finding them for me (didn't even look them up) and said they are not made anymore so they can't get them.

tonytiger 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Fitted the 42 Draft Designs PCV fix kit to my VR - as I was sick of buying replacement hoses - hopefully that's a permanent solution now! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

porki 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Today I got a mate of mine who's learning to mop and detail etc give mine a quick go to remove the moss and crap that have accumulated after 2 static years! In exchange I fitted a stereo and did some other bits on his Leon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR-Sixy 0 Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) Took out the number plate light assembly (is that too big a word for such a small part?) and replaced it with the same off the tailgate i got from Gareth last weekend. Gave the lens a good wash and replaced the blown bulb then ditched the rusty screws for some nice shiney self-tappers. Off up to Birmingham this afternoon to purloin a driver-side door which i can strip down at my leisure for various odds and sods, and tomorrow morning, i'm having a new stainess steel exhaust back box fitted at Brierley Hill. Going for a Mid-Sport sound with oval tail - pipe. 120 sovs on eBay! Edited May 6, 2013 by VR-Sixy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted May 6, 2013 More details on this kit tiger? This is the kit -> http://store.42draftdesigns.com/Mk3-VR6-PCV-Fix_p_309.html Awesome have the kit listed on their website, but when I ordered it from them they phoned up to ask if my car was lhd, when I said it wasn't they cancelled the order. So I bought it direct from 42Draft. The main bit in the kit is the metal tube to replace the crank breather. I was on my 3rd or 4th oem breather and sick of replacing them.

VR6Pete 0 Posted May 6, 2013 There was an interesting review of some draft 42 products on VR6OC - http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?504839 Think with a little more attention to detail they could be some sellers from them, PCV stuff looks interesting, but would it not make sense just to pick up a new valve from ford, the prices ain't that far apart?

willmason1975 10 Posted May 6, 2013 This is what I did today. Started stripping my front end for engine removal. The start of my full make it like new project! Found some nice rot on the Rad support.[ATTACH=CONFIG]73938[/ATTACH] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wullie 1 Posted May 7, 2013 Didn't drive it. For about the first time in five years it spent a whole day sitting in the drive. Not counting the couple of days off the road replacing the crank pulley. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dil 0 Posted May 9, 2013 replaced spark plugs (bosch from Euros) and leads from dubpower, car idles and revs so smoothly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon 0 Posted May 10, 2013 Yesterday I went to change the plugs only to find my VR was only running on 5 pots as the ht lead was broken , so what I thought was a pretty quick car just got a bit quicker :D Today I fixed my wipers and wash jets, was told by last owner it was the pump that was broken but I ignored this and purchased a new stalk instead and I was right :) next step is to get my spoiler working again ---------- Post added at 4:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 4:04 PM ---------- Yesterday I went to change the plugs only to find my VR was only running on 5 pots as the ht lead was broken , so what I thought was a pretty quick car just got a bit quicker :D Today I fixed my wipers and wash jets, was told by last owner it was the pump that was broken but I ignored this and purchased a new stalk instead and I was right :) next step is to get my spoiler working again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MurdoMac 0 Posted May 12, 2013 Yesterday not exactly to the Corrado but certainly for the corrado installed a ramp in front of the garage. So the Corrado has to spend a few days outside. Today I took her for her first road trip and was smiling all the way :). The trip threw up some gremlins thou, ABS light coming on sometimes under braking and not going of untill a stop and start, temp gauge not working/working/ not working again and the indicators stoped then started working, I do really hate intermitent faults.

Portent 0 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Drove it. Spiritedly. With the roof open, windows down and music on. God I love this car :) I was about to get a few bodywork items done but I think that will have to wait a few more months as I just blew the Corrado savings by booking an impromptu trip to see my brother in Groningen via Amsterdam next weekend :dance: :wave: :bounce2: EDIT: MurdocMac that looks fantastic.

leon263 0 Posted May 19, 2013 A quick wash and polish followed by a leisurely cruise down the coast admiring things behind me in my recently fitted new mirror glass. Is it just me or do all Corrados go better when they are clean? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
