Stone - i think ill probably go the same route as you and delete the actuator. I've removed the fuel tank today and had a nose around. The plastic part in the pic was supposed to screw into the body but the screw holes have succumbed to rot. Looks to be a silly design really - huge hole where the actuator comes through allowing water and whatever else enter the inner arch. Well that is my excuse for deleting it anyway!

I've not removed an axle (or front subframe before) but all this shiny stuff is giving me ideas. Do you have to line up the subframe/rear axle or is just a case of bolt off and on? The reason I've not done it is becuase I don't want to mess with the cars alignment but it does seem like people do this work at home.

Ahh looks great - there is something hugely satisfying knowing parts like this are in tip top shape. I joined the Candian Corrado facebook page and saw this and thought it was you - I did comment as well.

They do say clouds often have a silver lining 😄

Prices are all over the shop. I did see this one the faceache site the other week. We should up the agreed value of our cars. Reminds me I need to fill in the form... been meaning to do that since December. I was going to put £12k in but maybe i should go for more.

F**ckers. I hope they didn't do any damage jacking the car up? As for reporting it would be the police but doubt you'll get much from on it. At least the crime stats will be included as a theft.

That is super annoying after all your efforts and annoying it is common place with garages too. I am always having trouble when i take any of my cars places - no one treats them as well as we do.

A blue G60 travelling through Barkway village at 3PM today. You were following a tasty Espirt Turbo! Seen twice since living here, found the car on Flickr. I've got those wheels for my 16v - look good!

That's a good trick and I also found out recently that if you wedge the brake pedal down and take off say a brake calliper or flexi no fluid will leak out. Still needs bleeding but generally only the corner you're working on.

That is a great solution and I hope it comes here too. I've been looking for something like that as have an OEM unit it's possible to put an Aux feed into but bluetooth is more difficult. This unit could probably be adapted to work with any head unit that controls a CD changer if no aux available too.

You might be able to source from Europe as they had models in more basic specs - some didn't have central locking. Personally i can see the attraction of manual windows (and sunroofs) - less to go wrong.

ha ha I saw the account when it registered and changed the profile pic but thought i'd wait until they'd posting something before banning. As a side note - i am not seeing any notifcations of new member posts to moderate? I don't get emails either.

Did you drive this car through potters bar/high barnet regularly? I used to see a green storm quite frequenly when i lived there (I moved out of that area 6 mths ago). For pictures I use https://imgbb.com/ . It's free and creates the "BB Code" links needed for forums automatically - you can just copy and paste. You can make almums secure etc. Might be easier for you to host images here and then you can advertise the car across multiple forums/places without have to load the pics multiple times 🙂

Good find Hutty I will take a look at them on renewal.

Thank you for that, i can see it sort of loops back on it's self and the black insert bit clips to the rod. I'm about to start working the area and am dropping the fuel tank so should be able to get a good view from behind (as the body shop failed to route the breather pipes through the chassis leg).

I'm not really a jap car fan but would like an original skyline if I had the money https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/23/11293378/nissan-skyline-gtr-photos-nyias-2016 I bet it would disintegrate with rust even in the summer on our roads though.

Actually I dont suppose you remember how the black plastic insert mounted up yo your actuator? Is it that thing I see behind my square hole - mines semi loosely fitted and will push in a touch with finger pressure. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Cheers guys. I have thought about the mk2 option - it would be a blank and loose the actuator arm thing on the door. I'll need to put a locking filler cap (to be fair the car doesn't really leave my sight so maybe not). Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

If I hit the jack pot it would be something just like this from Ruf https://www.rufautomobile.co.uk/ruf-btr-porsche-930-turbo For me I'm not an impractical supercar type fan (Lambo, Mclaren etc) and like everyday drive charm of a Porsche and Ruf version would be the icing on the cake as well. For more modest sums I think E30 325i M sport, any 911 pref air cooled, 944 turbo. Maybe something with an agricultural V8 but can't think what - don't like American - Jenson Interceptor maybe?

Ahh learn something new. I've got black leather in my white one (but it was cloth factory) and the same black cloth in my 16v

16vs are starting to rise - £4k estimate with 166k

I cant see platinum on the options list - here's a pic with the codes too Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

The other issue while I am here - sharing as useful to know for others who may need to do this fix - the mk2 panel fits slightly proud at the area highlighted. I think I could knock it in a bit (actually I will leave to a professsional to re-shape)

Hi, Background - my fuel filler panel area was rotten so I had a mk2 panel welded in its place. It worked mostly well except, since buying the black plastic insert I've found the hole is not large enough. I can make the hole bigger with a cutting tool but i am not 100% sure how the black plastic insert fits up against the lock actuator behind the fuel panel. Long shot but has anyone ever taken one of these apart before? I've mocked up on the pic where I think i need to cut... This would be a good time to have my other Corrado around but it's 300 miles away.

Looking good and can't wait to see it in the flesh
