I understand your point & completely agree should the circumstances have been different. However, in this situation the guy is a friend of my brother in laws & his intentions were completely genuine :) -

now this doesnt happen every day..... during lunch at my sisters yesterday my brother in law called me out as someone wanted to look at my rado i took my keys outside to find a 5th gear presenter admiring my baby & saying he has always loved corrados & especially the VR6 i thought it only right to take him for a quick grin inducing launch down the nearby country lanes, throughout which the praise continued.....wow the sound is awesome....have the back seats ever had anyone sit in their leather.....god damn it she pulls doesnt she.....to quote just a few :norty: needless to say much car talk continued, including that of his 550bhp bmw & 993 project....but it always came back to my rado lol all ended with him saying thank you for taking him out for a run & thanks for flooring it :clap: :clap: oh & left me with a very big smile once again long live the corrado!! :luvlove:

88 miles £20 wtf?? now 120.5 getting better!
g0ldf1ng3r replied to marmite monster's topic in General Car Chat
I only use 99 ron fuel, either tesco super or shell v-power (now they have moved from 98 to 99 ron) always fill up £25,mixed journeys always include a blast here & there, and I usually get about 140 ish miles mfa on my 12 mile home journey from work,which consists of all b roads & a short dual carriageway section, varies from 31 to 35 mpg :) -
Sounds like the barrel m8, mine has done the same.... Unfortunately the ignition barrel can't be retumbled & thus it's a case of new barrel with keys, iirc cost was about £78 Inc vat from VW

attempting radiotor change tomorrow, i hope the bumper/slam panel removal is as 'easy' as you say :)

One word - hideous!!!! Nuff said

I took delivery of my kw v1s this week, having read many hours on here & decisive help from people here am greatly looking forward to fitting them next weekend :clap: Ordered mine by phoning kw, £610 delivered & made sure they were inox line :)
-
my ignition barrel is doing something very similar :help: its ok most times but in ever increasing occassions the key just wont turn in the barrel :( edit: from reading here it seems quite common for the barrel to wear out
-
Whoop whoop whoop!! Shiney new kw v1s have arrived.....jus gotta get em in now :clap: :clap:
-
I would be very interested to hear your opinion once you have them fitted. Are you fitting them yourself ?? I am in need of new suspension allround and am seriously considering these - but cant really justify the cost of V3s. I ordered v1s yesterday & plan 2 fit with my friend, also on to speedlines will let u know how it goes & try 4 b4 & after pics as mentioned in previous post, £610 direct from kw :clap:
-
:clap: :clap: :clap: kw v1s on order!!!! Wooooo!!! 3-7 days 2 wait now :~ ordered direct from kw in the end,they did them for £610 delivered :) Odub - have u managed 2 fit yours yet? Wondering if u have any tips?
-

-
