NEEDING a radiator! :( pg3

Recommended Posts

another productive day today after work, managed to get the dash out yay! :clap: that guide is pretty useful.

after taking the dash out i finished off taken out the other plastic trims in the back and over the doors.

 

also i noticed on my headlight wiring a wire has self destructed. looks like its been like it for some time check out the pics. guna see if i can re-pin it with a fresh better wire.

have not been able to do much these past couple days, apart from check certain interior bits out to see if they broken.

 

i would ideally need the whole passener vent minus ducting, and a centre console peice. or i would take the centre console vent slider thing (the oval peice that opens and closes) and the two seperate vents for that.

 

if you could pm me with what you have great :cheers:

Good work chap.

 

May as well do the heater matrix while it's at that stage. Only another 20 minutes of work.

the headlight switch loom can be replaced quite easy, i found someone breaking a corrado and got one under a tenner.

 

worth sticking an inline fuse in it too when you refit.

 

nice job so far though....

im going to need front and rear brake pads for my rado. i just need some standard pads for now until i do a complete overhaul in next half dozen months. i need it to be mot'd! buses are starting to see me off! lol

 

any way heres the issue my rado is a 1990 1.8 16v on a g plate, has a 6 digit number plate also, non private.

as you can see they are also completely different. i believe i know why one with abs and one without but how do i find out which i need without taking the out?

Mine is a G-plate Mar '90 and it has the top pads with the middle spring thing, If you look through your wheels at the calipers you should be able to see the spring bit through a gap in the middle of the top of the caliper. 8)
