Little update from me... I have spent hours both at the VW dealer sourcing bolts, bits and bobs and under the bonnet, well once i could get it open again!! New Bonnet cable in, not actually a bad job really. CrazyDave reamapped ECU fitted. Under bonnet Fuel lines replaced, all new clips, brackets. I hate those spring clips!! Lots of engine loom rewrapping. Bonnet foam completely removed (delighted with metal work underneath) - new foam to go on, OE i think and ill sell on the group buy one. Collecting a load more bits later this week to smarten things up a bit more. Its quite a frustrating car as i have done loads and i stand back and it looks no different!! Over the moon to have found one of these new...

Very rarely in Durham im afraid... If you could get a better shot that would be great, no rush...

I am...Im just weighing up about the marks on them.. Any chance of a more detailed picture please Chris?

Purchased mine...

Ferrari 288 GTO Ford Mustang GT390 Aston Martin DB5 Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth Mercedes 300SL Gullwing No order of preference if anyone is offering...

An obd2 one sold on here containing 263 cams for 500 recently...

go on then...pm payment details...

Cleaned up very nicely...

I never realised i had been offered this.. How come you are selling?

Probably a matter of personal taste but i dont use anything silicon or aerosol based.. My choice for a good many years... Poorboys natural look dressing...

Yip, it is. The VSR panel is removable...

Caddy looks nice, whats under the bonnet? Best bet for the Corrado is post up the link, im sure people will offer feedback on it in terms of value and condition.. Id be prepared to travel to get the right car, chances of finding something around the corner are slim..

Welcome... Any pics of the caddy?

The disks and pads (288mm) are from a late spec (post 96) Mk3 VR6, i think early only ran 280mm.. Fairly normal to convert to goodridge hoses for the swap..

Any chance of a picture?

Looking nice and tidy..

Has come up well and the lack of sunroof is a complete bonus..

I have ended up buying another Nakamichi.. It will run an Ipod but not controllable from the head unit but the sound quality and OE look are the business...

In think its the poorboys one I have (bright pink). Easy to use and wheels clean easily although they don't really get that dirty so hard to know.

Sounds like an absolute nightmare.. What would you like them to do at this stage apart from admit responsibility? In thier eyes as they have covered the cost of the repair they probably want to leave it. Are you wanting to have another cam belt fitted at their expense?

Apologies for going quiet.. Ill pass on the bits, all yours mate..

Worth getting your hands on a piston wind in tool as well as the rear calliper pistons dont just push in.. You can get a laser line one from halfords.. Id also personally recommend replacing all the bolts you have to touch..

No snow here in Glasgow.. On a side note to Macdaddy, nice daily, very nice...

This is something i'm looking into as well.. Nakamichi, still available new from the States, sound and looks great, some questions over long term reliability and no iPod/USB connection.. Im looking for an OE look, has to be green illumination standard or an option. I want very good sound quality. USB/ipod connection on the rear to run a cable to the glove box and with other connection for future sound system development.. Not asking much but im keen for any suggestions as to where to start..

Which gasket is that? Is it and the thermostat housing genuine?
