  1. the scanned file won't upload, lets try again
  2. I feel so ashamed.... i thought i'd done a good job with a bottle of Gunk and a roll of kitchen towel looks good though!
  3. Don't let the higher milage put you off, i bought a low milage 2.0l 16v and the engine blew up. I would go for the newer one, and the answer to the question you will be asking in a few weeks - no there is not a hole in your bank account they really do cost that much! Worth it though
  4. Power to the masses! the corrado is in the Independant's top ten practical classics
  5. I spent today fixing 6x9's in the spare parcel shelf and tried to clean the hot chocolate stain (which looks like sh1t) off the front passenger seat. Remember to ask for the cup holder from Macdonalds next time! Oh, should i remove the rubbing strips or have them colour coded while the cars in the paint shop this week?
  6. I used this when i analysed my car for a project http://www.thecorrado.com/corrado2016v.pdf might have something useful in there
  7. Has it been resprayed in places?
  8. Done, it was a tough choice though, the bedford rascal is far more practical
  9. Try edworthys.co.uk
  10. Blue N reg storm stalybridge/millbrook area NOT there this morning! Lovely car but you hardly seem to use it
  11. Since may last year but it was off the road from july 'till december having the engine rebuilt, yes a rebuild at 53k! won't worry about the miles again
  12. Nearing 58k..... am i lucky having low milage or unlucky having only done 6k since i got it
  13. I bought mine last may and the cambelt snapped 6 weeks later. I didn't get it back until december! Now it needs a respray but every time i drive it and get the nod from non C owners i remember why i put up with it.
  14. Thanks for the replies and suggestions, still don't know what to do yet but i'll keep you posted.
  15. Heres a little tale of woe and despair..... I woke up yesterday morning to a knock on the door, somebody informs me that my car is covered in red paint. I can't see my car from the house so i go out and look. Sure enough, my car is covered in paint all along the passenger side so with steam coming out of my ears i go back to the house to get a bucket of water. The red paint comes off easily but then so does the moonlight blue paint, exposing primer and metal. The plasic and rubber bits have also changed colour and in some cases, melted. Feck! I report it to the police. There are no witnesses no motive so i'm buggered. The insurance tell me i have £300 excess so i go to get quotes. The quotes come back at £800-900 including all the colour-coding i thought i might as well get done. Not bad i thought, I'll claim on the insurance, thats what its for. Not that simple. I phoned the insurance today, my excess now appears to be £550 which is almost half my entire premium, apparently i'm a young driver at 23 thats what the extra £250 is. What do i do? I just quit work to concentrate on my final year at uni, talk about timing. I don't want to pay the excess as the insurance lied to me about how much it was, i would'nt have taken out the policy if i'd known it was that much. Anyway, it'll have to be fixed so does anyone know any very good bodyshops in the Manchester or Huddersfield area? I've been to Impact in Brighouse, they seemed very good and look like the right choice at the moment. Thanks for reading
  16. I suppose i'll have to defend all the lady drivers out there!
  17. It's not the power its what you do with it............
  18. Keskin KT1 or KT2's, nice!

    EMERGENCY!

    Can anybody help me? I can lock my doors with the key but not the boot, the key won't turn. As far as i know, its the original lock. And does anyone know where i can get them fixed in the Manchester or Huddersfield area? Thank you, desperate Corrado owner living in the asshole of Britain!

    Piston rings

    Oemparts.co.uk had full sets of VR6 pistons for £380 which made me sick because i paid over £500 for my 16v ones, don't know about the rings though.
  22. Last of the summer wine country between Woodhead and Holmfirth, you could really go through tyres round there
