Did you try a Taycan? Mega value used

Be aware scammers lurk on this forum and pm rather than post in the open to wanted ads. keep you hand on your wallet….

The government need to tell councils to sort the problem, if private firms won’t get involved government need to. i assume you have Zapmap or similar?

I quite fancy an e golf, I test drove one a while back.

You can have the battery pack removed and the cells tested (a single cell will render the car immobile), condition a used pack to the same state of charge as the rest. Reassemble and charge normally. Costs similar to clutch and flywheel, service with timing chain / belt, dpf replacement etc

Tesla? Do you use ZapMap app or something better maybe? I prefer Gridserve if possible, I only charge at motorway services in general - but I'm not footing the bill. I delivered a Dacia Spring today, cold day claimed range 140, I could have done 122 starting with a frost. Ionics, Konas and Genesis are my usual steeds, some MGs and occasional Ariya

A bit rude, it took you 5 days and 12 cans by the look of it? I don't own an EV, but drive them almost weekly depending on stock, don't be scared or brainwashed by the YouTubers.......

Welcome. Not much footfall here these days, just a few regular posters who are willing to pay subscription to keep the place ticking over. What's your story, looking to buy, already own one, renovation?

Do you have a pic?

Very sad sight, gutting especially as it's non fault

The site only exists thanks to Toby, it makes a loss, so his time is better spent on other projects to pay his bills just like the rest of us. he doesn’t own a corrado anymore either, I suspect this is what we have, use it or lose it. its a bit flunky but still better than fb with all the AI generated rubbish that’s factually flawed -
Modern tester are used to cassette type bearings with zero play, if you set tapers to do the same when warm they would be so tight they’d squeegee the grease away and the bearings would fail quickly. If they're not noisy leave them. Slight rock on the wheel at 3 and 9 o’clock is good, excessive at 6 and 12 o’clock indicate worn stub axles- if you try and adjust this out it kills the bearings (see first paragraph).

I have a gearbox condition unknown, flywheel sold I'd have thought you'd find either locally TBH

Be careful, scammers lurk and dm rather than post

fb - I'm noticing more and more click bait, pages taking an age to load due to the amount adverts......... A1 created features with so much incorrect info........... On top of general poor advice / info being offered in groups (not Corrado groups ATM). Maybe the forums that survived could make a come back? -
Pork n Ham? I usually look on eBay for tyres, Demon Tweeks usually have good prices

OBD1 cars run like a bag of shite if the battery has been disconnected / gone flat, it takes several drive cycles to settle down as the eco needs to relearn the perimeters of the sensors. Randomly disconnecting sensors puts the eco into limp exaggerating your stall issues. Battery off over night, drive for several days without tinkering, then review the issues you have

For the miss, pull one plug lead off at a time as the engine runs, find one that has the least effect and you've located the cylinder. Plug Lead Coil Injector Compression

Yes, give it a go. I built my first MK2 loom and didn't know which pin did what, 9v clicked the relay and I built it around that. 85 / 86 close the contacts 30 - 87, let there be light
