well it would seem that though the valver has nice bright lights the beam unfortunately can not be adjusted as the fecking adjusters are broken both sides £300 for a replacement headlight form Heritage WTF!!!!! fortunately stuarttaylor on here had some with broken tabs but adjusters are said to be ok donor lights arrived this morning, thanks stuart, now to start to look how to rebuild the 2 sets together to make a working set any hints or tips anyone?

I came up with a neat little cheap fix for the late versions as they are very difficult to find, have a look here http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?44751-g0ldf1ng3r-s-VR-amp-1-8-16V-the-valver-has-heat!-amp-now-pokey-lights-too!/page21

nice well done m8 :)

lights should be arriving today thanks to Stuart :) mods - please close thread thank you

ouch - hope you get it sorted ok dougie I recall being in france in 2014 when the tempest hit - my word I have never experienced a storm like it. wind so harsh it was driving the rain in under the windows & so fierce it dented huge metal silo's at a farm down the road

Hi Druvey It will most certainly be one of the relays on the uprated loom. what you describe is a classic uprated loom relay failure issue does yours have 2 or 3 relays? either way - drive to a motor factors in the day time, remove a relay & ask them to match it. replace all if necessary & keep one in the glove box just in case it happens when out & about next time

the miltek site say it has lifetime* but when go to small print it is as most are, guaranteed for the original purchaser only & not transferable Indeed it does look a nice example Jim! I wonder who's it is

good find, looks nice looks to be a supply only as states includes fitting instructions, though they recommend paying for fitting my longlife is from downpipe back with hi flow CAT (200 cell), custom fabricated on my lowered VR, lifetime guarantee on the exhaust itself (not for just the purchaser) - all in for £400 IIRC :D

good luck hunting from a knock on of circumstances my old valver was found last year by jon at stealth it was promptly brought back & am a far way down the road of getting it back to how it was when I first owned it :) interestingly too I realised the other day that I have been driving in a corrado for the majority of my driving career. around 14 years out of 22. is it any wonder I don't really like driving many other cars lol

great explanation thank you, even if it is a little scary to read. I do like the wasp thing, very interesting lol

I echo what many others have posted & am truly grateful for this forum & its friendly & helpful members, nurtured by the environment you helped to form many thanks for all of your work over the years, good luck for the future & I wish you & your family well. a big hello to our new admin too :D

blimey, is it really not as out there as it sounds. it shocked me as surely the person who fell asleep was not driving with 'due care'....as they couldn't bloody see due to being asleep lol indeed, hiding that kind of query could be tough during audit lol

really!? now that is interesting I thought it would be along the same lines as not declaring a modification as if they sent the car for an independent MOT it would fail I have heard horror stories of insurers trying to get out of paying out. for example I read in the news a while ago about co-op refusing to pay out to a woman who was hit head on by another driver but because the other drivers fell asleep at the time of the accident the co-op were trying to say that person couldn't be held responsible for their actions no personal offence meant in what I say next BUT since when do our taxes in the UK get used resourcefully!! PMSL

reverse the signal from your brain such that it signals right when you want to go left & vice versa or maybe it could be the indicator relay connections are the wrong way round

that may be all well & good but are you not then infringing on your insurance insurers are complete arses & will wriggle out of any payments they can - if you were in an accident & they saw you had no CAT they could say it invalidates your MOT & as such invalidates your insurance

is it not an MOT fail if the car left the factory with a CAT but is then missing it

hi tim I can send you the one I use with various insurers if you like? lol

no problem m8 form sent

dave - I have a word doc I can send you which I use to mail round to the insurers PM your email addy :)

ha ha I was waiting for someone to mention the Koenigsegg 1 of those for me too pls!!!

I would like one after Christmas pls :)

hi Veedubbed im not sure yet, currently waiting for info from stuart - he was going to check over the weekend & let me know today

Rog they look superb!!! cracking result :D definitely pls put me down for a set, maybe two TBC do you think there would be similar success for the re-silvering of the rear corrado script badge? im sure many of us have those fading

ha ha ha well, as Jones said & they seem to have displayed in their responses to your post......"they don't like it up em" lol im sure there are probably people in the US having them made too. it is a little warped for that guy to think he should have a monopoly on replacement roof rails & definitely not on to have a go at something they haven't even seen fingers crossed Karmannski's turn out as we all hope they do :)

that has right tickled me, not 100% sure why but an image of Corporal Jones off Dad's Army springs to mind ;) LOL
