Hi there, Many thanks for your responses as I was a bit apprehensive about the sale. I did infact 'phone the DVLA after I knew they were flying in to the UK. All you need to do is complete the purple section of the V5 (and I wrote a letter to include the new owners address just in case) to say that the car as been exported. The buyer keeps the rest of the V5 (unsigned) and then they are able to register in their home country. Job done. They turned up, looked around the car. I drove them round the block and we exchanged cash. If only all sales could be so easy. Thanks, Jon.

Hi, I've just sold my Corrado on eBay 360137122856 to a lad who lives in Germany and I am arranging to meet him at the airport. Does any one know of any other paperwork that I need to complete other than the V5? The buyer doesn't know if he needs any paperwork to take the car to Germany. Has anyone had any experience in this type of situation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. The car was only on eBay for two hours!

Many thanks, John has provided my with the help I need. I should have bought a standard exhaust rubber mount from VW and not the 98p one from G&S. He also recommended that the exhaust is re-mounted as it might have vibrated out of position. Cheers, Jon

Hi, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I bought my Corrado with a Milltek exhaust and it's been fine up until now where it's started to vibrate against the bumper. I've replaced the old rubber which had perished with one I bought from German and Swedish but the problems just got worse. No one seems to be able to help as all the garages tell me that it's because it's an aftermarket part and Milltek don't provide the parts to keep the thing stable. The way it feels now is that I just want someone to weld it to the car. I live in Watford and wondered if there was a specialist who could help. I would be very grateful if there was someone who could. Thanks, Jon

yeah, I'm thinking of selling my sliver storm. But I must go away for a couple of weeks first. Napoleon "Always intend, never propose."

Manchester's changed since I last visited. where's that? nice pic.

Get that salt off the roads.

I'm a little confused now as Parkers say the 16v is 136bhp and the 8v 115bhp. My insurance company have quoted lower on the 8v

I've got the 2.0 8v down as an insurance group 16 and the 16v as a group 17.

i'm on 9 points :cry: so I need a cruiser 8) and I've been told that the 8v is easier/ cheaper to repair :?: . The only thing is that it was a bit tatty :( and there is a gapping whole in the leather. It hasn't got an MOT :( so it's almost scrap. Not to sure if it's worth the effort/expense :?: the search continues :!:

if £25 is a best case scenarios, what’s the worst as I'm looking to offer silly money for the car and then pay to get the ABS straight. I’m not mechanically minded (and nor is the seller) so I view things as a cost rather than a fixable problem. BTW, thanks to all those who've posted. It's much appreciated - i've learnt about Vag-com (and not http://www.vag.com) + looking into front sensors. rgds, Jon

WOW, that's v.quick, thanks. I'm off to see the car tomorrow morning so i'll post again - all the other 'minters' have sold before I could get there so i'm hoping that one that needs a little fix will be a better buy. Could be risky though :roll:

Hello, i'm looking to buy a 95M Auto / Leather / AC with 89K on the clock. Only problem, is that the owner has been told the ABS is broken and has failed the MOT. How much should I knock off the book price + anyone know of a way to get a quote before I buy?
