    Rado's, heavy metal, football, photography!
  1. OMFG that is beautiful!! :nuts:
  2. Got my kit in the post Saturday morning. What a coooool little piece of metal...i can close my door...and open it again....and close it....and open it again :clap: :grin: It was a bit fiddly to fit so I took it to my mate to help me coz he's big strong man ...he cursed a little bit at times, but now it's fitted and working everything is good!! And possibly the best £15 I've spent on my Rado so far. Thanks Dave :notworthy:
  3. I LOVE the tinted rears! :luvlove: Thats the plan for mine...eventually... White Rado's got a certain 'something'. Lovely looking car girl 8)
  4. My mate tells me this is common amongst Rado's and indeed most other VAG's I got the same problem with mine which is gonna need sorting beofre MOT due in July. I only found out when I left her parked on a gentle slope outside my parents house and it rolled backwards 10 feet into the garage wall, leaving a couple of nice little dents in the spoiler and boot door :censored: Still it was a lesson learnt the hard way so now leaving it in gear wherever I park up, whilst consoling myself over another dent that wasn't my fault.
  5. Like most of you...tyres every coupla weeks or so (depending on the queue for air at my local Tesco :mad2: ) Oil and water every week....hardly ever needs water...but she seems to be guzzling oil. Have to top up every week. Not huge amounts but consistant. ...something else to add to my long list of 'things to check out' :shrug:
  6. These pics give me a lot to aspire to :salute: I got a LONG way to go mind :lol: Some beautiful cars out there.Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Damn I love Rado's :luvlove: :luvlove:
  7. .......hmmmm....I been doing this for 2 weeks coz I can't be bothered to get off my arse to fix it :grin: Is it normal for Rado' handles to only last 3 months?? When I bought her the handle was knackered, so spent 75 quid on a new one just for it to bust again t'other week. EDIT: Ok so I just read back this whole thread :roll: Common sense has never been my strong point :help: I think this kit is the answer isn't it? PM on it's way Dave16v
  8. When I first got my Rado the drivers side tyre was wearing really bad to the point of marking the tyre....i took it into get the tracking sorted, and they said it had actually seized where one of the previous owners had tried to fix it themselves and made a botch of it. (A theme which seems to be running throughout the whole of my C) Doubt if thats your problem but it wasn't something I'd experienced before. :shrug:
  9. Just got a Longlife exhaust fitted in Cardiff. Whole caboodle, mild tone with oval pipe, cat removed...basic kit...£359 Sounds lovely. Very similar to her original sound so I'm very happy. Nice low end burble, but when I floor it....Wwhhhoooaaarrrrggghhhhhh!! Perfect! Now she sounds like a classy Rado again. :clap: Interesting experience driving their courtesy Fiat Panda for a day too :norty: Nifty little thing but the most uncomfortable seats I've ever experienced! Don't think I'll be getting one of them as my daily drive :salute:
  10. Funnily enough, I've just had similar problem. For past 2 days expansion tank has been spewing water although temp gauges all showing normal and no apparant leaks anywhere. So just got a friend to have a look, he ran a pressure check and turns out it was just knackered ring in cap. Remedy: we stole cap from his wifes Polo...so now my 'rado is fine and her car is gonna be spewing water :wink: :norty: :lol:
  11. ....I'm pretty sure he didn't have this in mind!! :lol: ....And I think he's gonna be feeling a bit left out too, coz I can forsee me wanting to spend a LOT of time with my new baby!!! :) What a pleasure she is to drive. I can't believe it's taken me this long to 'discover' 'Rado's. This is gonna be some love affair!
  12. She's a totally standard g60. Only change is wheel centers have been painted black. Plans: pretty much keeping her standard. Simple but classy!
  13. Hi all, just bought myself a corrado G60, but am having trouble with the heater system. When you start the car it seems to blow hot air, but after a few miles, it blows cold. Park the car up for an hour, start it up and it blows hot again untill you've done a couple of miles then it blows cold again. Can anyone throw some light ( heat would be preferable) on whats wrong? Ta.
  14. Hi all, a newbie here,as you can see. thought I'd put a piccy of my new toy. My fella is always away so wanted something to keep me happy during the lonely times. what do you think of it (the car)? The wheels are now black by the way.

    headlights

    I can see there are similar links on here but not exactly the same, can anyone please help with a problem I have. When running with normal beam all is fine, but when I switch to main beam, the entire nearside lights go out. I have only recently bought the car, so know very little about it. The headlight colour is daylight, so I think someone has changed the bulbs. Any help gratefully appreciated cos I cant see when going round left handers!!!!!!!!!
