goran - no offence intended but i think you need to take this offline & work it out between the 2 of you. i doubt it is helping the situation with people adding 'their own thoughts' i fully understand the points you are making & i empathise that you are in this situation but forum users can not help you get it resolved

if it is the belt i think you are referring to there is a screw hole into which you can put a bolt, this then releases the tensioner so as you can remove & refit the belt & then remove the bolt

ha ha ha not that kind of chippy m8 lol

i thought the village of Meriden was the centre of England "For centuries the parish of Meriden to the west of Coventry has claimed to be the geographical centre of England, and there has been a stone cross there commemorating the claim for at least 500 years. The justification is that the point farthest from the sea is in the parish.[citation needed] Morton, Derbyshire also claims to be the centre of England as it is not only mid-way along England's longest north-south axis,[citation needed] but also mid-way between the east coast and the Welsh border" i know of a cracking traditional ale pub not far from there which has a large field, used for camping at their annual beer festival, & they love VW's ;)

discount a bose system them m8 lol my friend is a chippy & he has a something similar to this http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/makita-dmr106-bluetooth-job-site-radio.html?gclid=CNTh4YLl9cUCFWKWtAodMw0AUw i was impressed with the sound output & quality for a fairly small unit but then he has a brick type bluetooth speaker which was pretty good too but i cant find that one sorry

hello all has anyone got a decent alternator available for a 1.8 16v the one on my valver is very noisey indeed i could do with a cheap option if possible as getting the valver back on the road is going to seriously hurt my depleted bank balance thanks all for reading

i agree sanky i think they need to speak to each other directly & work it out between the 2 of them the rest of us should back off & not jump to any conclusions or bad mouthing etc

isnt the double time clicking when indicating a safety feature to let you know you have a bulb which has gone

valver picked up last night & given a quick wash as it was filthy a rather nice journey to work had this morning in it :D masses done whilst with the mechanic but still more on the list as i need to recoup funds the alternator is rather noisey so think that might have to be done sooner rather than later & the tire size is a little out so doesnt feel right i know it used to run 195*50*15's on the original wheels but would i need a 195*45 to run on the BBS 16"'s - is anyone good with tire calculations pls? good points though - it does drive nice still, if a little heavy on the go pedal & clutch, both windows work (drivers side rather slowly), sunroof works, spoiler works & im not quite sure how but the head liner looks bloody lovely (FYI both the gf & myself have pulled the liner material out of our respective VR's due to sagging) hopefully the nice weather will kick in & be with us for a while so i can drive it a bit & then think about ripping the dash out to do the matrix

it is when the suspension uses air & compressors so that you can set the height from a control unit the american's love air setups, im sure you have seen an impala or similar with one wheel in the air or bouncing etc often in the UK people use it so as when they get to a show etc they can slam it completely. ive seen 'bagged' camper vans where you cant get a single rizla between the front bumper & the tarmac lol

do you know if the 58mm is the internal or external diameter pls Ian? thanks edit: i think it is 55mm internal & 58mm external from what i can find online

superb thanks very much Ian I appreciate your great information sourcing :)

valver is taxed! cannie wait till 5.30 tonight swings & roundabouts though as dropping the VR off to have the slight oil leak when running looked at but also taking advantage of it going in & having the bridgestones swapped over on to the refurb'd black speedlines does anyone know the diameter of the speedline centre caps pls? i might look into some alternative centers for the black wheels

you could try just copying the URL from the address bar when you're on the page. i think it would then ask other people to 'log in to view' when they try to go to that link i have tried searching for the VW corrado chat you mention but it doesnt bring any results edit - found it - fb said there were zero results on the search but i then saw a post which mentioned it....linky.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/VwCorradoChat/?fref=nf

i bet it was hard to watch it go andy i know i felt awful when i sold the valver.....but then happy happy joy joy when i brought it back :D collecting it tonight with its fresh MOT too hope you linger around here m8

interesting idea Ed :) near birmingham 95 VR6 92 1.8 16v 95 VR6 Storm (the gf's)

sounds good, look forward to pictures do you still own any others?

tax the valver tonight & collect tomorrow :D

thats really cool :) the wheels like mint lol

they are even more expensive at VW Heritage but they are brand new the cheapest i can find is this one on a buy it now: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-CORRADO-EARLY-STYLE-FRONT-GRILL-WITH-BADGE-GENUINE-VR6-G60-16V-8V-/261822999953?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3cf5dded91 FYI i had put a wanted add on here when i was after one but it wasnt very fruitful, hence i picked one up off ebay i paid £40 for mine which had all tabs intact, the center VW badge & the 16v badge

cool thanks for your feedback Jim

i got a 7 slat one from ebay a few months ago there were a few which had broken clips etc which you are not concerned about - try there m8

cool thanks Jim if it is a catch can does that imply you have to periodically empty it?

can we have a picture pls Jim if possible? :)

sounds posh Jim - are they shiney? lol & how costly?
