Sorted out my Corrado problems twice now and a diamond.

Not cheap - but worth it, as he knows his stuff....

It is original owner (an adult) so i think he is in the good there.

Yeah, don't you just hate it when you turn up to view a car and a 9 year old owned it before you...... ;)

If your friend does buy it, ask if its ever been off-road. That looks more like a Jeep than a Sports Coupé!

You have to remove the pod - but it really isn't difficult - it's a 5 min job and only 6 screws...

Instructions, as ever, Use the search! (click the link for the answer btw...)

There was a recall, but due to the car being 10+ years old now, they are very unlikely to uphold it.

They only need to keep it open for 6 years IIRC, so it's a bit late...

Better get ya' spanners and screw-drivers out. It'll be a long night...and day...and night... ;)

Mate of mine has had a Cupra R for about 6 months now...

Probably driven it for about 2 - the rest its been back to the dealer.. Good luck!

Why do Peugeot sell a Supercharged Moped then?

P.S. I'd rather have a calendar though....

*Title spell-checked... *

I was already looking into this..

But I can see it becoming interesting when the competition starts hotting up for being in it ;)

Maybe have a 'Notes' page with small pics of all the entrants who didn't make it into a month?

a few guys on the forum have had real problems getting pulled

They should get out more and spend less time here then!! lol

:lol: :lol: :lol:

What's with the van in the background?

Has that been chav'd too?

Erm, well, we don't!

Suppose I should stick a fiver of fuel in a jerry can and just keep driving till it runs out one day.

 

Took me 2 cans before mine would start!! I was on a hill though.

Where I work we had a van run out of diesel when going up the steep hill. They did a 3 pointer, and drove up the hill in reverse - then along the flat for 500 metres to the petrol station - it worked :)

"I'd buy that for a dollar!"

You can also get the sump gasket baffle from GSF car parts for the 4 cylinder. That'll do the trick. However your profile doesn't say whether you have a 4 cylinder or a VR6

You didn't read his signature then ;)

Wasn't it incredibly UNreliable in the Top Gear JD Power survey?

And for the redness, click here

Mine is obviously my name... but why the 'i' I hear you scream...

All stems back from when I was about 9. Three Andrews in the class, one Andrew, one Andy, me, being different, Andi.

Sorted.

And no, Red=Fast, its not a girl's name in the UK

You could always take the needle off then reposition it up a bit ;)

Take longer to get to empty then :)

Sorry, but just in one of those moods.

Something you don't use and/or care about, and you have the choice to spend an afternoon pulling your door apart to fix and no-one would care, or you could just stick a rubber gromit over it, increase the security on your car, and save yourself an afternoon - spend it with the missus instead! She'll like me for saying that... hehe.

Hey, you might even get the comment later "hey, you de-pinned your door, that's cool..."

My driver's side door pin came off.

Got a rubber gromit and covered it.

Never use it anyway ;)

Time spent: 20 seconds.

Money spent: was given the gromit.

Shove that in your How-To section and smoke it ;)

I had the same on 2 Golfs, Mk I and Mk 2 GTi s; it turned out to be the fuel pump relay on both.

 

Best wishes

I had the fuel pump relay die on mine, and rev counter did not drop, as engine was still turning and trying to spark - just no fuel - so I don't think that is the same as this incident.

CliffNet Pro will only extend the lock-pulse to 3 seconds, not the 20-odd I need for both windows roll up.

So, either there's a newer version than 1.2 I have acquired will can extend this, or I have something up with the wiring to the closure system.

There is an accessory time delay - which was set at 20 seconds - but this seems to be ignored, so the windows are only working off the lock pulse.

Hopefully the fitters can squeeze me in this arvo for a butchers.

Is one from the fuel tank not the breather line which goes to the carbon canister in the front right wing?

It does start the full closure though - only goes for 2 seconds then stops though - so hopefully its just the pulse that needs altering.

I'll try different timings to make sure I don't burn it out.

And yes, it was Sounds Alarming.

Jay swears he didn't touch any alarm stuff, so I'll find out when I get CNPro..

Ah-ha - that would make sense.

Ta' peeps.

And the installer told me 30 secs is good for Corrados.

He did learn how to be an Auto-Electrician on Corrados, so... ;)

I've spoken to him on the phone, and he's willing to fix it - its just finding the time when I'm off and he's not busy - being one of the most reputable alarm companies in the South East, he is a very busy chap! He's happy for me to tinkle with it.

Just wanted to do it myself really! Gotta do something on my days off ;)

h100vw, do you mean to me, or for me to ring my fitters?
