Philuk 0 Posted April 27, 2016 So, the car was booked in for a windscreen yesterday. Got a phonecall to say the seal kit had bits missing from it but the windscreen was coming in at lunch. Told me the new kit should b here today. Phoned at 9 to see how it was coming on and was told it would be between 12-3pm that the seal kit would get there. Heard nothing more, phoned at 4 ( i started work at half6 this morning so i could get off early!) and, the seal kit has come and its complete but the windscreen isnt here! I couldnt believe it! I dont get upset by stuff like this because i work in the motor trade and it sucks to have someone having a go at you for something that isnt your fault. i completly understand that stuff goes wrong and its noones fault! So the guy who i spoke to said the screen would be there tomorrow but he watned to do it himself because they are quite awkward but the next time he can do it is next tuesday! So that means ive had toi postpone the garage for the rest of the work doing! Bah! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wafers 0 Posted June 27, 2016 Stunning looking VR. Great to see you've owned it for years and kept it regardless, as well. They're still such good looking things, despite the design being over 25 years old. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted July 7, 2016 Big thanks to dave again who came and vag-commed the car, have got a new throttle position sensor to fit now and hopefully that will sort the idle issue. have now got front washer jets and also a working abs light. Just to fit the arms and were go for an MOT!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sexybourbon 0 Posted July 7, 2016 Well done mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted July 10, 2016 Replaced throttle position sensor with one that didn't look quite right and it didn't fix it, checked all pipes were tight and connected, will have to run it and see if it clears up a bit! Not booked for Thursday, fitted both sets of numberplates. I've put Velcro on them so they are easy to swap over! Darks ones are quite dark tho!

ABV-VR6 12 Posted February 4, 2020 (edited) Well, I just read all of it! It was very interesting to read it and to see all the process that went into it. I started reading because you had Schmidt ML which I want and got sucked in the story of your car lol. Nice work, but no updates in years, what happened? You bought a house or something ha ha! Cheers Edited February 4, 2020 by ABV-VR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted February 4, 2020 He did buy a house! and is currently having an ongoing battle with power steering or lack of which seems not to be broken parts but hidden demon spirits causing chaos. Replaced literally every single part in the power steering assembly and still having same problem... Corrado's eh, who'd have them!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Replaced literally every single part in the power steering assembly and still having same problem... Corrado's eh, who'd have them!!! Ha ha I figured! That would change your priorities for sure, I know too well! I remembered it was in the talks in his thread. Good for him, I know the garage situation was not the best... Hopefully that power steering gets sorted out... Thanks for letting me know shiftkid! Nice car by the way. I remember you went over to give him a hand too right!? Nice of you, cheers!

swiftkid 1 Posted February 6, 2020 It's the life of Corrado ownership, when things don't go right interest soon drops off. I'm the same at the moment, think me and phil are going to try get a 2 for 1 price for an exorcist to come and get rid of the demons in our cars. I'll drop him another text and poke him to give it another go for this summer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABV-VR6 12 Posted February 8, 2020 Amen to that! Yeah, it's a love/hate relationship. I hope you find your problem soon, I wish I could guide you toward a solution but I'm afraid you know more than me. I'll cross my fingers on the coming full moon while touching wood, hopefully that does something! :) Cheers mate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
