Love the TR6 , hope you realise your Corrado dream soon :)

Had my TAG done a couple of years ago , new battery and clean / service.

Can't remember exactly but think it was around £80

They actually sent it to TAG and I had a certificate to prove the work

Nice one :thumbleft:

Look forward to the article

The 8mm leads do fit but not as snug a 7mm. You need to trim or file the plastics to get them to fit but they are ok.

Is it a hard job to change the cambelt and tensioner on a 1.8 16v and what would a garage charge

Not at all hard by modern standards

2 hrs tops

After sending an email showing interest I received a reply today saying they have found a car to feature.

Should look lovely :)

I take it it's Lhasa green

Are you keeping the original colour?

I fell in love with a Lhasa when I was in my early 20,s

Just couldn't quite afford it , wish I had saved a bit harder though, bought a 2.0 Capri instead :(

Nice :)

Does anyone know where you would need to go for this ?

Would consider it if it wasn't too far

Haven't had any experience with this product but I think laser tools are generally pretty good,

though Halfords aren't the cheapest if you have vouchers I would say get it :)

I became self employed at 30, albeit in the same trade ( car mechanic)

I found knowing plenty of people in the trade helped and with a little bit of luck finding decent, cheap premises to work from I haven't really looked back.

If you are changing your line of work then I think that will be your biggest challenge

As said life is short, if you are confident you can make a go of it then do it :)

I too really like red or Oxblood interiors Sean 8)

I haven't ever seen a campaign Corrado but I think the interior would suit a black or dark grey colour better, be interesting to see what it goes for.

Have a good one folks :)

Look looking forward to getting out in the rado soon

Hi Rob, personally I wouldn't worry about not having any coolant in there, I would however start the engine and run it for a minute , just to keep things moving and lubricated.

Nice motor 8)

Bit of Corrado love on Pistonheads :)

The only real disappointment for me was some of the language used and references made.

Fine for adults but as my lads want to watch it I might have to cough or something in a few places.

That's the difference the BBC make I guess

Has anyone else seen this ?

Clarkson & co in there new program on Amazon Prime.

I liked it a lot, though starting off with the Mclaren P1, Porsche 918 and La Ferrari with a bit of BMW M2 thrown in for good measure they couldn't go far wrong really !

We have signed up for the 1 month free trial for now, whether we keep it going or not will have to see :)

The intermediate shaft can be checked with a mirror once the top chain cover is off, if you can't see the notches you might have to turn the crank 1 or 2 revolutions and look again .

I have heard of the cam pulleys not aligning perfectly before i.e half a tooth out or so. Possibly down to the head having been skimmed or wear, stretch in the chain.

Welcome :) nice introduction

Will get the picture of mine up tomorrow, that looks really gunky and corroded in there, you need to make sure the plug is clean and corrosion free.

I have a genuine used one , early metal type which I assume yours is

If you are interested i can dig it out?

Btw for smilies on the I pad I use a colon and reverse end bracket :)
