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

Replaced the electric seat switch, (height adjuster switch) and oiled the rear spoiler as it wasn't quite doing as it should. It now raises at 45mph-ish, sometimes it doesn't return to the low/park position though.

found a disconnected vacuum pipe under the throttle body, plugged that back together, no wonder I was getting odd mpg readings on the MFA and some wierd idling :)

Changed the oil and filter, made a mess of the driveway as i forgot to drain out the oil from the filter housing before i unscrewed it and as the hot oil went down my arm let go of it and it splased out of the tray as it bounced :brickwall: schoolboy error :censored: (mind u not as bad as when i forgot to replace the sump plug of the mk1 and poured nearly 5 litres in before i realised :brickwall: :censored: :bad-words:)

oh and quickly washed her for the 1st time...paintwork is worst than i thought, still machine polisher is on its way :D

And tomorrow i got a nice 250miles blat down home to cornwall :nuts:

Fitted my aero wipers...anyone know how to get them to fit properly?

[Supercharged Junkie 0]

Fitted some new VAG front disc`s with greenstuff pads & fitted a lower front brace :-)

Amazed how well the VAG discs & greenstuff pads work already, far better than the black diamond disc & pads they replaced.

Oil and filter change a couple of days ago, filter took hours to undo, used about 3 different tools and the old screwdriver and hammer method before it would actually come off :bad-words:

And today I fitted a nice shiny new ISV, no stalling as of yet :clap:

Attached the leads properly to the plugs, washed it and then took it out for a drive to see if the misfire was cured.

- Re-Fitted door cards as correctly as possible

well iv had a ball ache of a day

 

i went out the house for 2min after waiting in for my new suspension and exhaust system and they both came wen i was out!!!!!! :brickwall:

 

they left the exhaust as a neighbour signed for it but they took the suspension back to the depot in preston n cant deliver it till next fri!!!

 

i then spend 2hours removing the exhaust only to find the new one was different and i had to make it fit coz i cant afford another1 and id had to angle grind the old1 off in places!!!

 

well shes all put back together now as gonna take her out for a test run,fingers crossed she sounds ok

 

are there two different types of rado exhaust???? as the mountings are different on the new 1

Some have bar hangers and others have hook hangers. Think its the early spec cars have the hooks and later models have bars - someone correct me if im wrong. :D
