  1. The screws are only intended for locating the discs, the wheel bolts and weight of the wheel do the load bearing part of the job, dont worry about not having the screws in place..
  2. Its a vent off for any gas around the rocker gear, it doesnt do any harm being like that, i think it had happened to just about every VR..
  3. Fay has a driverside headlight for sale Zippy...
  4. The only guys i know who have it are Ross (Tekara) in Andover and Darren down at littlehampton.. When did it start misbehaving??
  5. 82 quid is a fair bit for a few bits of bobbly foam, not ideal at all... Off topic here but hows the car running Martin???
  6. Thats a nightmere mate, such a nice car, doesnt look like a difficult fix is the only good thing... Good luck sourcing the bits..
  7. I forked out for a Bentley Manual and TBH i think its worth the money, i had the pdf version and i found it a bit of a pain to use, so much better on paper...
  8. Id imagine there will be Martin due to the different bonnet shape... I know the late stuff is available from VW but its not cheap...

    Fair price?

    100 quid for a cam belt change, if that included the labour, seems cheap to me..
  12. Do you go along to the Vagcars meets? Ill be home in a few weeks and and hoping to pop along to one, would be good to see this car in the metal..
  13. I had a look at this mag today, you must be well chuffed, good numbers....
  14. Cheers guys, its always nice to get the recognition, im very happy with how its taking shape. Im just like everyone else though, there is so much more i want to do... Im lookinh forward to getting a chance to show it again, the Scorcher event may have to be sacked off, could boil down to attending or Samcos so may wait for Tatton and Harewood...
  15. Welcome to the forum, Mk1 sounds very interesting.. We need photos...
  16. Thankyou very much for the nice comments guys... Karl, let me know how you get on with the hoses, i hope you realise how much of my money you have spent!! Andi, Honestly, i cant tell if the XLTB has helped, the car needs mapping. Spoke to Vicki Peace's husband and hes was making 225 bhp with the same setup (no XLTB) on a brand new engine so hoping for similar, if not higher numbers. Alex, Yan and Bill, very nice of you to say so.. Really pleased with how it looked but am greedy, i want it to look better!! :D Rich, did i speak to you over the weekend??

    Nice new toy you have there, going to be a seriously fast car when its in...
  18. Cheers Rob.. I will be taking advantage of your services shortly, im a bit skint at the moment though, ill keep you posted....
  19. The F1 still looks sensational, much better than anything that has followed IMHO, including the Veyron.. On the subject of the mirrors im suprised no one has got the ones from the TVR with the buttons on and dehandles the doors...
  20. Been an eventfull few days for my car so i thought id do an update.. Firstly on Friday my car became a grown up as it hit the 100k mark, i wonder how may other Corrado owners have taken the picture of the clocks at the time, a good few id imagine!! Have included a couple of piccies from BVF, so chuffed to have won: Show and Shine - Best Engine Bay, Runner up Bodywork and Best overall car. Custom Concours - Runner up in other Watercooled class. There really were some great cars in both of the events so im well happy with the car, i hope to make it better as time goes on... Recent additions to the car have been VT front mount, Enlarged throttle body, Chromed bonnet prop. Have got a mocal to go on shortly, big thanks to Karl for helping me aquire some hose lines and connections for it...
  21. I think they are 25 quid a piece from VW..
  22. Welcome to the Forum, enjoy.. See you at Harewood..
  23. There are 2 different tyepes of controller, the late ones have the fuses next to the 50amp one. What year is your car??
