@Dox hi mate , heard you are the man . Anything you know about this one

Thank you mate , will give him a Message

Hey guys . Got the above Corrado and love it . Always wanted one !! That’s the original plate but I have put my own one on now of J11 PCD. Got a few plans for it. Bodywork and paint is mint . No rust, see the pics. What you think :) just wondering if anyone on here has owned this before or seen it around . Trying to get a bit more service history on it as some is missing .

wow thats alot more then expected, Yeah well i have another car with leather and have aircon. My corrado doesent so will take that on board as would be a pain when it gets got. Currently have cloth seats. was only doing it to increase the value of the car if possible but guess its probably not worth it ?

Hi Guys has anyone got some leather seats up for grabs, want to swap mine out and replace with leather cheers

probably a long shot, but, anyone have any black leather seats . want to swap mine out and replace with leather seats cheers Matt

thank guys, cant thank you all how much you have helped... putting smiles on my face again !

Indeed mate !!

Thanks so much .. right did the bridging scenario ,, and there was nothing from unplugging the socket from the radiator for the fans , no spark ,,,, used some wire. Looked at the fuses and there was 19 blown and 13 which are the fans , tried again and the fans ran fine .... , replaced them and it’s fine ... runs amazing and fans kick in to cool it down !!!! Whole day out today and ran like a dream .. fans kicked In and cooled Down as should . All ran temp as should

yeah thanks mate.. reason why the coolant did what it did is was driving along and didnt relise and the temp so escaped in the end.. great will check this today . i did yesterday but double check again.... have you ever tested the fans before using the method to bridge the plugs ?

so guys, spent some time on it tonight,, had a replaced coolant top as the old one was original and not as flush. Done a bled of system not much air really at all. car ran for about 25 mins and hit about 110 degrees and the fans havent come on at all. Going to do a fan test tomorrow to see if its working.. i guess this is bridging the plugs ? if the fans are okay i guess it could be a faulty thermostat. good thing is drives like a dream still and takes the head gasket out of this now ! also confirmed no leaks or anything ! everything looks solid !

thanks for all the advice guys,, going to look at all this when home and report back back.. regarding the coolant on the floor, haven't driven it since incase so didnt look, but get it jacked up have a proper look today

thanks will give this a try.. will make sure its all bled out then .. also will check the plug at the back of fan as above advised sometimes they need a good push in too... all new to this car. are the plugs easy to see under the bonnet
