Oh bugger. This is ridiculous - having visited you to get some bits there are loads of houses with garages in front. You've got loads of room for this. I guess you might get somewhere chatting to the planning department. Another idea - maybe extending the front of your property might have less planning restrictions? Not sure. You could build an attached garage on your drive, but attached to the house where your internal storage area is? Would have remodel the lawn to become the drive though.

Nice. Do like an early corrado on sebrings.

I have got some sunroof spare parts here. I'm not sure which bits you're after - got a pic? I might have it. I've got 3 full mechs here - 2x corrado (actually 3 if i count the one in the green corrado), 1x mk3 golf and I have some spare parts in a bag. I have rebuilt one of my Corrado mechs but not got it in the car yet - car is being delivered back to me this week. My corrado currently has the mk3 mech installed.

Bloody hell some work there. I think i'll need to re-read it to fully take it in! Lots of wiring i saw. Top marks!

Welcome

They are the ones I want. Gimmie Gimmie haha Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Man after my own heart - 100% agree. I only have leather in cars with decent aircon. I want cloth recaro's really and specifically the late style cloth. Did see a set last year on ebay for 1600 and wish i made the effort to drive to the lake district to collect them.

Agreed, I was thinking of getting your typical lab but your dog got me thinking but couldnt remember the breed. Something for when we have moved Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Yeah your Airedale is a big boy - lovely dog though. Glad you wrote that acutally as I forgot what breed it was.

Yeah saw them but only black will really work with my white car.

I know, I think although I really don't want leather if I can't find a cloth recaro I am going to have to secumb as my cloth will devalue the value even though it is better than a lot of them😞

Jeez and thanks for sharing Keyo. I saw that car for sale on car and classic. Feel for the seller but we're at that tricky time where values are clearly rising and it's not obvious what to price your car at if you want to sell it. I must admit I thought that blackberry one looked cheap when I saw it and actually the dealer has it about right.

I think it is worth getting a better quality part. Bump stops do help with ride comfort and i would suspect Topran materials would be inferior to febi or better. I have had fingers burnt with cheapo parts - Topran, JP etc and ended up replacing with Bosch or whatever anyway.

Camber yes a spot of negative. Not 100 percent the numbers. Im learning this myself right now as fed up taking my car to garages and ending up with steering at an angle when going straight. As I understand it to get toe you need to form a box around the car and take measurements. There are some relatively inexpensive tools to help. Here's a useful link on the theory. http://www.beardmorebros.co.uk/website%20pages/how%20to/tracking.htm Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Good work, I've just bought one of those magnetic camber/caster tools on seeing it in your pics. Didn't know such thing existed but great to beable to get a ball park on re-assembly.

Good to hear. I've done this job as well and it fixed that ABS fault code. I also has an issue with the pump itself so had a new fitted which solved it - that code was about a valve if I remember correctly. My other corrado (16v) has no ABS light but on removing the light/dial/readout (whatever it is called) i found no bulb so have it all to do again. Got a new pump from chris ferry for 10 quid though which was 10 times cheaper than the vr6 one. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I saw this one on Ebay the other day - it really does look great. Also seen some more details on the facebook page saying the car was bought up to show standard is as good underneath as it is outside. I would hope that car makes at least £15-17k. Great spec, nice colour, original and we need these halo cars to make our own cars that each of us has put blood, sweat and copious amounts of money into worth it. Not becuase you might want to sell it but to give the car the value it deserves to recongnise the effort we put it , the car's rarity and should you have an accident you'll stand a better chance of getting a decent value back - these cars aren't worth £1500 anymore.

Happy to help with the Spam and anything admin like - wiki work, helping with accounts, troubleshooting. What's the diff between a CF Donator, Legacy Donator and a Subscriber - I thought I had paid but am I due again? I can see all content on the site.

How many paid members are there? 10-20? Perhaps the disappearce of the admin is becuase this place just isn't making the money he needed to make it viable and we should all get ready to say our goodbyes. Assume hosting contracts were paid for up to a date in the future so time will tell.

Agreed, I've no means to buy it and have too many Corrados 😄 Hopefully the person buying is either a breaker or does their searches and either finds this thread or HPIs it before buying.

Maybe I am getting it confused with a car that has been declared scrapped by the DVLA - insurance write off sort of thing where the DVLA demands the car is scrapped. I can't find any info on cars that are at scrap yards and wanting to be put back on the road. Maybe it is possible if the DVLA don't know it's scrapped. Odd on this car though as the DVLA knows it is scrap - someone did a HPI on it above. I suppose it is a case of buyer beware and do your HPI check before purchase.

I emailed the seller of that Corrado - he said - "it obviously wasn't scrapped, I spoke to the DVLA and they said fill out a V62". It did take him days to get back to me so I would assume that was done on purpose to limit the time available to get a response from DVLA. Some googling and it appears you can put it back on the road. DVLA will probably put a CAT marker against it but I'm not clear on which. Either way even if it was put back on the road it wouldn't be worth much with a CAT marker. Probably best a parts car.

Tidy, my brother has a M135i he has owned for about 5 years he's looking to sell (as has a Tesla model 3 on the way through his work - don't worry I have almost disowned him). His car has about 40k on it he's after around £11k. Grey, black leather, H&K, manual. I was thinking of selling a couple of cars myself to take it off his hands but unlikely I'll get there.

Cheers Keyo. Hadn't thought about the MOT history - ill get it fixed proper before I put it in. I thought i might try it just to get it road worthy and drive it to my local garage but there seems to be a good place where the car is, might even be cheaper over in West Wales!

Hi, I'm planning on getting the green Corrado MOTd soon but it has rust around the drain lip in the rear arch, plus a hole I am able to stuff my finger in. I'm thinking this is an MOT fail as it's near suspension and seat belt mounting points?
