OEMplus... I'll have a look at that. That's 3 people that have recommended RK Engineering so they must be good. Or logging in as lots of different user names :D

Thanks for the reply, I'm in Truro

Oh and any suggestions for a good bodyshop down this neck of the woods would be most welcome too :D

Here's some initial pics of my new acquisition. As far as I'm aware it's pretty much standard apart from the suspension and a Jetex exhaust.... climatronic wiring-Golf from May 01.pdf29122007224.jpg[/attachment:3e7321ch] 2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf29122007226.jpg[/attachment:3e7321ch] 29122007222.jpg[/attachment:3e7321ch] My first stab at posting pics on here so forgive me if they're not right. I want to change the rear lights & I think I'm wanting some half smoked, kinda like what I had on my MKII Golf GTi, anybody got any they don't want, or any better ideas? I'm in Cornwall so if anybody sees me about feel free to gimme a little wave, it makes me feel like I've got friends. Any comments gratefully received. Rich

Remote central locking.....? Check :) Alarm fixed so remote locking and total closure now working, spent all day on it today and I haven't even touched toh outside yet, well apart from the wheels.... Ooh and spraying the VW badges black (controversial?). It's my 1st attempt & I'm fairly pleased with them. Next thing is new headlights as driving by candle light is a bit scary, I'm used to Xenons and to "de-tango" it but I'm not sure whether to go clear or smoked..... Any thoughts??

I have a 3rd party (TOAD) alarm fitted but it doesn't seem to be doing anything at the minute, think I'll have a poke about with that tomorrow. I'd agree with you on the deeper spoiler too, I've already noticed the look of terror on speed bumps as I've aproached them. Rich

Thank you very much. I'm fairly full of confusion at the mo. Reading through here I'm not sure if I should have a remote for the locking, it's a 94 VR6 (I think) M plate but it's got the deeper front spoiler & just the standard torch keys & the central locking doesn't work from the driver's door but I'm knee deep in previous posts about that right now. My little boy brain's starting to hurt :?

Woo Hoo I bought one.... M plate Dragon Green VR6 & it sounds Suh-Weeeeeeeet :D Thanks to everyone for your input on my "should I buy it" thread and like I said.... Hello from me, I live in Cornwall so if anybody sees me about gimme a little wave & JIMBOB>>> I promise I'll look after it, think I might call it Colin.. :lol: Rich

Thanks for the replies, hopefully, all being well, fingers crossed and all that I'll be taking a further in-depth look at the car on Thursday so be prepared for more of my random rantings and many cries for help as my enthusiasm FAR out weighs my ability so often start things I can't finish... Merry Krissy :lol: Rich

Ask away, I'm not easilly offended :D It's up for £2000. I'm buying a new house and trying to free up a bit of money so it's out with the French and back in with the German

Aha right o, I'll look them up. Just trying to find out a little bit more about this car 1st. I've read all the previous posts on here & it looks like he's spent a fortune on it, big old folder of receipts with it too. It's got a few niggley common faults, sunroof, central locking etc. but my big concern is the engine, 140000 miles & I can't find anything to say the timing chain's ever been given any attention

I've tried the PM thing, hoping he's still about. RK Engineering, is that you? I'm in Truro so may be paying a visit very soon if I buy this car. Thanks for the reply Rich

Well, I'm already Cornish but I'm about to buy a VR6 Corrado so that'd make me a Corrado newbie..... It's an M reg Dragon Green, think it belonged to Jimbo1970 off of here but it's on a garage forecourt now. Jimbo, you still about or anyone else know the car? I've driven it & it goes alright but if anyone's got any inside info I'd be MOST grateful.... Oh and "Hello" Very useful site so far, if I buy it I'll post more as it progresses. Thanks in advance and all that. Rich :lol:
