  1. Its the same one as this one anyone heard of the brand says oe quality . https://www.autodoc.co.uk/prasco/12937387
  2. Here we go mate think the litlle bad boy will fit . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RADIATOR-OEM-QUALITY-VN2083/153430382363?hash=item23b929d71b:g:6skAAOSwlLdcm2Ep
  3. There is also one on France ebay that is £20 cheaper.
  4. How about this is it the same Hella model from Eurospares you purchased for your G60? Manufacture part number 8MK 376 715-011 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HELLA-ENGINE-COOLING-RADIATOR-8MK-376-715-011-I-NEW-OE-REPLACEMENT/153431100182?epid=650682589&hash=item23b934cb16:g:p~IAAOSwW4hcnB3d Hold on just realised the seller advertises as London but look closer in Lithuania but I think that is the rad you need. Mine is a aluminum aftermarket one that is a litlle large but don't half keep the engine cool, only down side is you have to modify the brackets to fit, well the mechanic did,
  5. Come on lads get your spectrums out the loft you love Horace goes skiing.
  6. Also Voo if your after insulation 20 mm thick . I went for the 10 mm thick option as the Shrcik VGI has bad clearance on the bonnett as they were really designed for the golf MK3 engine bay, you even have to modidy the bonnet so the Schrick inlet manifold can fit in but bloody worth it :dance:. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-Corrado-Facelift-FL-Buckel-Dammmatten-fur-Motorhaube-t-20mm/292428993493?hash=item44162053d5:g:4ooAAOSwm~daUk6J
  7. Yes rust is a bugger totaly agree P , the R107 have terrible rusting on the bulk head , engine out job to replace and very hard to inspect pre purchase, youll find out when water starts coming through the dash . there was one really rare R129 the SL73 which was an AMG pre merger car that Merc sent to them at a customers request , it was a bored out 6.0 litre V12 to 7.3 litre just an absolute animal , most went to Saudi Arabi but there are a couple in the UK I believe but never come on to the market. there is also a very rare AMG SL60 and SL55 which were the bored out V8 engines with sport suspensions.
  8. Strangley enough the Merc independent I take mine to owns a W124 estate so I guess must be a great model. You can get a R129 SL320 for a great price at the moment either the inline 6 or V6 variation but i would stay away from th SL280 very sluggish. Love the 560 sec with the AMG kit holy cow they look so unique and aggresive, and lets not forget the 190E Cosworth all ready asking silly prices on them though unforunatley. When I used to walk to school it was the Corrado and R129 which were wow they are amazing ! To be fair the R129 are ok to leave outside you have a hardtop, the only thing that really gets rusty are the front wings which you can still buy over the counter, however the model before the R107 do need to be garaged absolute rust buckets and the one after the r129, R170 are well no comment.
  9. I thought black tips was a relativley new thing but my SL R129 1999 actually came from factory with a black tip suprisingly, mind you still on the original exhaust 20 years old, this car will outlive me ha ! Apparnetly they have never had to change out/replace a V8 block from the R129, maybe the most reliable V8 engine ever made I guess, when a Merc was built to last for ever and they believed the best advertisment was an old merc on the road, before they merged with Chrysler. The original receipt was a whoping 74k in 1999, I really recommend anyone looking for a second classic to invest in one of these they have a very bright future and very affordable at the moment.
  10. Voo please confirm if you want the switches as Im sure others would be interested. Vibra mount collected - sold Backing plates posted - sold Cheers.
  11. Thanks you just pull them off I believe they are attached by a metal spring clup. Cheers

    Heater blower

    I did sort out the problem it was the late control switches, the contacts just need a bit of tweeking so they touched the contacts on all four settings.
  14. Sorry I meant drivers seat tilt handle. Corrado right side 867881634 Corrado left side 867881633 [ATTACH=CONFIG]96618[/ATTACH] Cheers
  15. Yeah same here I have poor eye sight anyway and prefer using a laptop so take a picture with my iphone send it to my email and then download on my Laptop and save picture , press the photo button on here and choose file then press upload, piece of cake to be honest. One thing I have found on here is all the parts I have asked if anyone has for sale not one person has even replied to the emails, so ended up sourcing else where. Still after some door tilt handles if anyone has any for sale.
  16. The heating controls just have one bulb which you can get from halfords off the shelf described as 286 bulb . Remove key from ignition. Pull off the middle heater dial. Pull out the green insert that sits in the rear of the dial. Pull out the bulb from green insert and replace. https://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-blades-batteries/car-bulbs/286-car-bulb-manufacturers-standard-halfords-single-pack Please note the illumination was not great new from factory.
  17. I was on Mustang UK forum when I had my S550 GT a couple of years back and unfortunatley it became to this fate. Facebook killed it . Personally I do not ever plan on joining facebook .
  18. Here is an option if you can't source any its for the pair , I was quite happy with them good ebayer based in Poland.

    VR6 - breather

    its not so much a blockage mate its the oil blows past the vavle seals and blows out the end of the breather pipe conncected to the intake boot . Look under the intake boot is there alot of oil on top of a silver plate. its the other end ot the hose that is attched to the PCV basicaly. Some people use an oil catch can to catch the oil residue, I even have installed these on new cars in the past to stop the intake getting contaminated . Ive just left as it is on the Corrado.
