Keyo

Wonder if these fit a Rado look a lot cleaner. https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.de/en/schlussleuchte-0408a4.html

Not to late Sean it was 63 including delivery. Let me update the thread and say yeah good seller or neah skank seller.

These leather OE gear knobs have been obsolete for some time I believe. I have ordered one off this seller - looks like new old stock. Ill give an update if the goods/ transaction/ delivery was as advertised. http://www.sparesdeals.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=84_86&product_id=290

Yes you need four, diagram link above shows it if you click on it. The seal is the same for each light and has the same part number , however it informs you to cut two to size as the rear lights come in the form of a curved corner and the square one next to each other therefore have a different perimeter, so treat it like four light units that each need a seal and two will need cutting to size. Probably worth getting some of these as spares but I'm not in the mood to be spending after forking out on some roof moldings !

Yes mate you need four and cut a couple to size- on the part diagram it says sizes. T4 tailgate cut down to size also fits the boot opening an absolute treat. The corrado boot opening seal is obsolete and was a rip off. Here is a new T4 boot opening seal for comparison fitted to my car- If you ever wanted proof that VW load a Part number starting with 535. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T4-TRANSPORTER-TAILGATE-AND-BARN-DOOR-SEAL-T4-REAR-DOOR-SEAL-FIT-ALL-MODELS/324090193145?hash=item4b7547e4f9:g:kn8AAOSwIKNb6t9i

Are you after these mate ? Might be worth checking your blue rear decal grommets are not letting water as well. https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/3A5945191-rear-light-gasket.html http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/COR/year/1995/drive_standart/76/hg_ug/945/subcategory/223000/part_id/0/lang/e

Dox I cant find the Raynes loom new anymore, how much were they new ? Also the one you posted was that for low and full beam as it has two relays . Thanks

Don't lie your still thinking about it ha! For me personally a Schrick is enough .

To true with bolts and nuts. if sourced from a manufacturer directly are not expensive a at all and the UK has so many capable companies that can manufacture . I am personally guilty of spending silly money for fittings and it is just a waste of money but the only catch is you have to find someone to supply them. If we all has bit more time I'm pretty sure we could get everything manufactured over here as we have some of greatest companies in the world to be fair, also man with a shed traders in the back garden is almost a UK trademark, amazing what folks in the know can produce. I can source 50 10 mm self tapping bolts for my trade and they cost about £20.-- for a box, vag would cost just silly for that amount. Talking about silly money I've had to fork out 313 for two roof moldings as they were flapping in the wind and when I inspected and pulled them up a little the sides just fell apart , I suppose one should just be glad that they are available and remind oneself how rare and what a cult special car the Corrado is. and also the great owners that keep them on the road. I've owned a fair few cars in the past but the Corrado from my experience even relatively new to most on here/ there is something very special about the Rado that I can't quite put my finger on. but nonetheless a great mongrel that the VW engineers absolutely pulled off. designed a car that could actually compete with its competitors.. very brave step to compete with BMW, Mercedes , Porsche, but thank god there was a small amount of purchases that didn't want to follow the rest, and that is why I think the Corrado is such a special car , it \was never really a coupe luxury car in my opinion compared to owning other coupe cars of that era.. but that of of the king of the hot hatches which was also a great place to be in accompanied by a rising spoiler. what more could you ask for !

I'm the same can't stand putting old bolts on new parts ! Here is your first bolt from Germany N90184501 . See if the seller has the other items. Good seller have used before. Noit cheap postage but if you can get a good order together not to bad. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Sechskantbundschraube-M8X75X33-fur-Lenkgetriebe-Golf-2-Co-OE-Ref-N90184501/352953413377?hash=item522da9af01:g:XrMAAOSwsnVeMquE

Topman !

Is there enough now to forward this onto classics. must be a fair few names on the list now ? Cheers.

They will be on the flying Scotsman by now . However if someone has some Black Recaro seats drop me a PM . Thanks Folks.

You can still buy the recaro heat elements from classics believe it or not but the stock leather heater elements are obsolete, mine only get up to luke warm.

Hi Toby out if interest how many paid members are know subscribed. ? Cheers.

Nice work !!!

Hi mate will be on the fuel pump thread if you can find it . I actually got mine from buycarpartsuk from Germany but they had it priced incorrectly and got it dirt cheap . I did post on the fuel pump thread though the cheapest place to buy it - was MIster Auto off ebay. Put the VDO part number on ebay mate and it will come up.

Nice work mate glad to see you have used blue engineering bricks for the damp proof course as it has a soft pleasing effect to the eye rather then bright red. Also the roof is a good design as it looks like it has achieved a greater pitch then 15 degrees which means you can use a clay tile and not a pan tile. I work on many Heritage projects and also renovated at least 6 houses so have a bit of insight. I really recommend this company for bricks , pavers and roof tiles. They have been going for 200 years in a Clay pit in Kingswinford . Clay ages so much better then concrete and so pleasing to the eye as the color does not fade;like concrete or tends to crack. I used a staffordshire blue on mine and looks great with a white rendered house. My last project photos below I had to remove over 150 tons of soil etc- grabber truck is a great friend in such a project. https://www.dreadnought-tiles.co.uk/index.html I also used reclaimed bricks from the Birmingham arms factory for my front wall. I'm a bit of a ferret but old building materials are so much better quality then new materials. In Fact that good my reclaimed coping stones on my front wall have a makers stamp - I looked them up and went bump in 1860 so that should tell people how good the old material actually is. Also this company for natural slabs, I used blue honed sandstone and a German Resin with 5mm gap between slabs to point. Best value in the UK https://nustone.co.uk/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlqqojuLl5wIVirHtCh0ezwZkEAAYASAAEgIvnvD_BwE This guy can knock you up a hand made Oak door for £750 in High Peak which is exceptional value.Mine is the same door on the gallery with black studs. http://www.claphamsjoinery.co.uk/gallery Internal natura; doors these ;ot are great value. https://www.ukoakdoors.co.uk/ Good one of the door and roof tiles here - excuse me that Im going on a session for the weekend with the lads . Blue stable pavers from Dreadnought look a treat with tarmac.

Did you fit it with a VDO pump pot and sender mate ? Hope this gets sorted out.

HI Hutty, Thanks for introducing yourself. Congrats on your engine build mate I'm going to call up Stealth tomorrow to book mine in. My car has had a couple of weeks of bad luck to be honest. First a water leak which I put down to a door membrane which is now hopefully fixed. My spoiler has started to work intermittently and to top it off I changed a new battery as my old one kept going dead and now the new one has gone dead after a couple of weeks been fitted so looks like I have a damn battery drain. Checked the boot and cubby light and both going out, well annoying ! Wonder if it has anything to do with me getting my headlight metallised and messing with cables getting the lights out. Anyway these will be sorted and well up for a meet this Summer . Never really go on long enough drives but I know there are some great roads around Malvern and Ledbury and some idlic spots for some photos of the cars in situ. Up for anywhere though to meet around the Midlands will be great to have a Rado convoy.

Probably not gone over to classics mate as it was used in loads of VAG vehicles and still in the dealers stock pile. 99 percent sure .

Have you tried the dealers mate I think they sell them for a few quid.

HI Moo, Hope all is well. My car is having an engine rebuild at Stealth this year , he has the new pistons all ready but ging to call him to get a date tomorrow. I will still come to a meet in my Mk2 golf though and tag on if the Rado is not ready. Any other Midlands owners about I think there are a fair few hiding on here ?

Hi Ant, Uneducated with electrics but know these are the correct parts for some of the plug inserts as I purchased some foe my VDO gauges. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-VW-Skoda-Seat-Porsche-10-x-Wiring-Crimp-Repair-Terminals-Pins-000979225E/223487940717?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-VW-Skoda-Seat-Porsche-10-x-Wiring-Crimp-Repair-Terminals-Pins-000979133E/223507235310?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-VW-Skoda-Seat-Porsche-10-x-Wiring-Crimp-Repair-Terminals-Pins-000979021E/223507226497?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Hi mate . I know these cars well mate as just restored one including the headliner. You are not going to do any better then the Heritage Headlining material , I have one fitted and it does look OE. A professional trimmer will struggle to get you a material to match your OE headliner. The biggest thing really mate is the headboard as it will disintegrate on removal. Thankfully the Golf has abundance of OE parts and aftermarket. I purchased one of these and suggest you do the same chap. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Reproduction-MK2-VW-Golf-Headliner-with-Sunroof-for-3-door-cars/143405770656?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
