Yeah, been legal for the road since May, although most of that has entailed parking in the garage out of the rain! Used it for commuting to Eckington most of this week, except today when I gave the TT a run out, and I’ll be in it again tomorrow because I’m planning going for an MoT in the afternoon. I was originally hoping to go to Chatsworth with CCGB last weekend but we were away so had to miss it. I always thought the clunks and creaks were standard with the Corrado?
-
Have you got this out and about yet? I have been enjoying mine with no running issues, but now hear a bump at the rear off side. May just be the junk in the boot or toolkit unsecured. The old exhaust or suspension... I just need some time to get underneath her. 🫣

Looks great. Must have been nice to get out for the drive on a lovely day. I was going to go to this, but work got in the way unfortunately

Nice looking motor. How's the coil pack, for the misfire?

Hi Fuzzer - are you still around in the Corrado world?

The Corrado Graveyard is really only any good if you go and pick up the parts yourself. Is Lilfuzzer Chris Ferry? He's on facebook and still active, if he's not Chris, try Chris Ferry as he has always been great for me on parts.
The forum is pretty dead. Apparently there is another one in the making but don't know if it will come to life.

Oil leak around crank breather (early valver)
colinstubbs replied to colinstubbs's topic in Engine Bay
Cheers for that, I was wondering if the housing might have had historic issues with other owners. I might try and add an o-ring between the pipe and metal outlet or neoprene tape or summat! -
Yeah... 18 I guess. I got it running a decade ago but it's taken time to iron out a lot of the issues. It's still got a misfire on Cyl 5, seems to be a bad ground to the injector, new injectors didn't fix it.
-
Nice and like the wheels. Has it taken 20 years?! Worth the wait for sure looks great.
-
But somehow my password I used in 2004 still works, musta taken me a long time to get this thing together. LC3U No Sunroof SLC from WYOMING?! Yeah I think it's RARE

Hi mate, any luck with OEM? I am in the same boat now. Seems Aluminium is the only way forward as no one seems to stock OEM.

You probably don't need the rear speakers, but there is a fairly well priced Alpine alternative that are the same range as the one's that fit for the doors and dash, so people including me, have just used all three: SXE4625S (rear) SXE-1325S (door) SXE-1025S (dash) The 1025s in the dash need some fettling to fit, you can see in my build thread what I did, although I think just keeping stock tweeters here might be fine. You will also need to make up a short wiring connection to replace the crossover in the stock tweeters if you did, as the doors connect to these. This will make a world of difference to your sound without resorting to amps and subs, as the stocks end up pretty knackered. The only thing, as I say, is potentially leaving out the dash speakers as I don't think this made a lot of difference. I keep meaning to put the tweeters back in to compare the difference.
-
Unfortunately I am not familiar with the valver, but if it's anything like the VR then it seems quite hard to avoid leaks around here, and you end up living with it a bit. The breather pipe/PCV is plastic rather than rubber, so it doesn't seal well even with new clips and whatnot. Might be the same for the Valver.

hello again ok, ive spoken to the maker - he is in Dubai working for the next couple of weeks & is happy to crack on with the looms once back could everyone who has stated their interest pls send me a PM with your name, address, personal email & phone number this will make it much easier for me to track responses & keep things moving once ive had a PM i will email from my personal account 🙂 i will check back in a few days & if not many replies to this post i will send out messages on here thanks all

Pretty much as the title...I've had a leak around the crank breather outlet forever, I tried a Jubilee clip (green) on the rubber pipe at the outlet and cable tie (blue) on the small connection with the only other clamping being the OEM hose clip (purple). It currently has a rocker cover leak, but if I'm fixing that I figure I ought to sort this bugger out at the same time! What should I look for/try next?🤷

Two steps forward, one step back should have been the Corrado advertising slogan ! I wouldn’t be too quick to assume the ECU. They tend to go bad and not work again, rather than being intermittent. Here is a list of ECU prefix part numbers incase you need a spare, same as before, try swapping an ECU with another owner first. Does the stuttering happen when the car reaches a certain temperature ? Fuelling issue perhaps ?
