So, inspired by Alex's member thread, I have decided to centralise all my 'to-do' lists so you lot can read it and I can keep on top of it. My Corrado has pretty much been off the road for two years now but in 2011 I AM going to get it sorted! I will do a second entry with the history of the car later in the week, and I will include some pictures. I am going to try and be organised by sorting my list into sections, I'm hoping I can group them together so that all the bits in each group will be completed at the same time. So here we go:

Check serpentine belt for cracking and splits

Periodically check the lower half of the front engine mount for splitting

Buy and fit audioscape door pods - General audio sort out

I know that some of these jobs will take two minutes whilst others will take hours/days and the list will obviously evolve over time but it's a pretty good starting point. If anyone is wondering, a few items on this list came from the old servicing guide in the wiki.

Thanks for reading.
