Thats what I thought. So can I take off the speaker pods on my late spec door cards & put them onto the early spec door cards which will still enable me to keep the window switches in the pod location. Rich

I have apparently got a late spec interior in my 1.8 16V. If I wanted to change from the current late spec to early spec door cards & seats can I take the late spec door plastic speaker/electric window swich & storage compartment off the late spec door card & swap it over onto the early spec door card :? ? I only ask as I've seen that the early spec door cards have a hole in the doors which I assume is for the electric window operation & I want to keep the electric window switch where it is at the moment by the speaker. I'm not too keen on the lighter door trim & would like to swap it back to the original black door cards & seats. This is of course if I don't sell it & do keep it. I'm very, very slowly coming round to liking it now that its had a wash, T-cut & wax 8) Rich

Yep run the car with the expansion cap off and with the heater on hottest setting and fan on full blast. Let the car warm up whilst squeezing all the radiator pipes (especially the ones going to the heater matrix) to get all the air out the system, when the fans kick in the water level in the expansion tank should drop, top it up a bit and put the cap back on. Make sure the heaters get warm though whilst doing it, if its staying cold then keep running the car squeezing the pipes until all the air is out the system and the heaters start getting hot. I'll have to try this tomorrow as I'm having the same problem, & like you Rod, my temp gague doesn't work :? Rich Well I tried this 9I think I did it in the correct order) & still no luck. i'm having the thermostat replaced tomorrow, so, fingers crossed, that should fix it :D Rich

Aft'noon chaps, I've had the water tepm light flashing at me ever since I bought the car. Steve (the previous owner) rekons it's to do with a sensor that needs replacing & this is what he suggested would need doing: ''temperature sensor for coolant temp gauge and idle stabilisation (KR engine), Black single pin, part no. 049 919 501'' (thanks mic_VR) and hopefully this willl cure the problem But I think it might be the thermostat that needs replacing as the temp gauge does not work, & when I turn on the heaters, the air coming out is 'luke warm':lol: The fan works too. I only think it might be the thermostat as I had the same problem in my GT4. The temp gauge went up to 1/4 way evan after loads of miles & the air from the heaters was not hot. Just wanting to pick the brains of the 'seasoned' Corrado owners on here before I go out & buy a thermostat, only to find out I don't need one :lol: If it is the thermostat................where do I locate it :? I should know this :lol: Cheers for your help & answers in advance. Rich

Bugger, missed you by a few days. I'll try the long plier approach & if that doesn't work I guess I'll have a looksies on the links provided by you kind folk 8) :D Rich

I'll let you know when I get back from work which side works. Whats a rocker peice :? Rich

Yes Tim, it does look as though one side is working & the other side is not. It kind of goes skewiff as you say :lol: Richard

Hi guys, Luckily, the sunroof is in the closed position. The motor works fine as I can hear it working & the sunroof actually moves when the switch is pressed as though it's about to open, but it's jammed somewhere, so I'm guessing it may be something to do with the runners? I'll have a look at the link that TimDoc posted up :D After reading the link, I'm not even sure if my sunroof is a tilt only, or a tilt & slide sunroof :? as I've obviously not seen it working :lol: If it's any help mine is a J reg 1.8 16v Rich

Yep. Thats what it looks like. Anyone got a wiring diagram for what the wires should look like? Rich

I take it you have to take off the roof lining to get to the sunroof when it's jammed? The motor works as the sunroof moves a bit & then just gets stuck, so I'm guessing it's got something to do with the rails or sliders. Rich

Well I had alook today at the wiring behind the switch & what a nightmare :shock: It looks like someone has had a go at re-wiring them at some point as they had 3rd party male & female connectors on them. The switch for the mirrios is a round switch. Is this from a later model? Mine is a J reg 1.8 16V. I'm only asking as they look like they've been put in at a later date as the wiring is certainly not from the factory :shock: Rich

I think I'll give this a go tomorrow as my mirrors don't work at all. No whirring or clicking from the motor what so ever. I'll let you know the results :D Rich

So'k chaps. I think I've found a local dealer for Borbet alloys & that's Motor World in creepy Crawley. I'll pop along there tomorrow & ask them :D Rich

Afternoon again guys, I'm just wondering if parts are interchangeable between the different models of Corrados? i.e if a sunroof from a 2.0ltr 16v can fit onto a 1.8 16v, or headlights from a G60 can fit onto a 1.8 16v etc etc. I think I'm gonna need a few parts for mine & was looking to get them from a few of the cars that are being broken on here. Cheers, Rich
