  1. if you have an old key you might be able to split the plastic apart & remove the coded chip so as to put in the newly cut key ;) i found this out when i changed my ignition barrel 2 years ago - when i ordered it VW assured me the keys werent coded but they definitley are
  2. ive not seen the trailer but it is known here that it will appear in the new series did the trailer say when the series starts

    schimmel 263s

    If the timing is right i would be interested as well. Im currently waiting for roose motorsport to make & deliver my cooling pipes & once received im ready to book in with vince for some work which includes 263's does anyone know how many people we would need for a group buy? (i will try & check the previous thread when i have a moment later)
  5. well thank fook for that......failing memory but still have your rado, love it!!! lol
  6. welcome! nice to see another rado has a home in the midlands :D
  7. Grrrrr vent.com :D good point, well made!! lol Plus....can i have my bacon in bread with red sauce pls
  8. Indeed, discovery shed IIRC thanks jon_vr6 - i thought id check the discovery website & ...... http://www.discoveryuk.com/web/fifth-gear/episode-guide-new-series/ series starts Sept 19th at 9PM but i cant figure if the rado's will be in..... episode 2...... 'Jonny reveals his petrolhead investments – three classic cars that you should buy now to make a profit in the future.' or episode 4...... 'And Jason reveals three incredible value sports cars that can be bought for just £5,000' :D
  9. I had a similar conversation with the same person Jim, as we already know ;) lol I checked the fifth gear site to see if there were any schedule listings for this episode but drew a blank......has anyone got any ideas how we find out when it will be aired? jon_vr6 - that video was taken outside of volkswizard's unit......i remember it from when the gf picked up her storm from there ;)
  10. Im not sure then Jim Might be worth giving KW a call for a chat
  11. Jim - what is the feel of the dampen & return like when you push a front corner down? Does it feel any different to the rears? I noticed a small oil smear on top of my KW's several months after having them so i spoke to KW - they said that a small residue is normal as the piston which moves is slightly lubricated & as such can produce said oily smear on top of the strut. IIRC KW said that they are gas dampers, rather than traditional oil or similar filled dampers, & thus if there was a leak they would loose most if not all of their damping effect also, have you spoken to KW as their US site states...... 'How much warranty do I have on my KW’s? All KW street suspension comes with a limited lifetime warranty against any manufacturing defect' Hope this helps
  12. welcome & good luck Id love to have another rado to strip to essentials only!
  13. Excellent update! Really pleased its looking up for you! good luck :D
  14. Ive not noticed this thread before but having now read through it in full i think we, as in the majority of us who use this forum, are blessed to have such kind & thoughtful members here!! Lots of support, friendly sharing of experiences & a general understanding that everyone is different & that we all have our good times & bad. Portent, its great that you are striving - & succeeding it seems - in making a happier life for yourself & your family! I shared a similar experience with my old job last year & in the end i made the decision that i could pay my mortgage for 3-6 months & i quit. Fortunately i managed to find a new job by the end of the summer & it has made for a much happier me. Change is scary, change is tough but change can be good but as many of us said.....happiness is key in life :D
  15. Thanks for your input Jim! i will certainly give them a go once ive taken the current wheels off :)
  16. good work Byrd! did you use a glue thinner to remove the old stuff? im planning on attempting this job in the next few weeks hopefully
  17. I agree m8, i only replied to the post as i had spoken with the place & the confirmed the price was £20 per wheel. however, the finish may well reflect that lol
  18. Good point well made Jim & there are places that will do for less than that. If your in the midlands there is http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/ who say they will do for £20 per wheel. Ive no experience of them but for £80 for a set of 4 im considering giving them a go for the set of speedlines i take off
  19. bloody hell borarob its hard to believe they were done with hammerite, they look lovely in the photo! ive hand prep'd & etch primer'd my other set of speedlines & my uncle is going to be spraying them in black cellulose paint - lots of layers of paint & lots of rubbing to get the depth & shine....hopefully
  20. Welcome! Keep looking until you find the really good 1 you want, they are out there :)
  21. there is a post on this forum about silicone grease designed for sunroof mechanisms. apparently the silicone stuff does not collect the dirt & bits & clog up. IIRC kevin bacon had a sunroof which would not slide but once he had cleaned & greased with the correct stuff it worked fine. i purchased some & received it a couple of weeks ago but havent had time to clean & apply this new stuff yet found the post.......try this http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=81534&highlight=sunroof+grease hope it helps or comes in useful :)
  22. Personally i have used infinty kappa range speakers in my cars for over 15 years & find their quality of audio & range to be superb. It is quite a basic setup of sony head unit [4*52w RMS], a pair of kappa 693i 6*9's & a pair of the 5.25" kappa's for the door pods......simples :D
  23. Well would you believe it......i work literally around the corner from Da Corrado! I had always thought it would be a good place to get a nice pic of the rado outside of the building & get their signage in the pic :D lol I also know of a very good & very nice cider house just down the road from there which has a garden alongside the canal - the bluebell makes for a picturesque pint of scrumpy on a sunny day I will check out if can make the 18th as southam is not too far away & has a plethora of nice drive options to get there & back
