hmmm tempting... you have pm!

yeah i got the pump to the point where it was "loose". It was rocking back and forth along the adjustment bracket... the grove the tensioner bolt moves up and down in just wouldn't let it move any further away from the crank pully. May need to fabricate a new bracket or something. It took quite a smack when it hit the deck the other week so i may have bent the bracket or something.

Window Rollers - on hiatus due to c*ck up
Alex_G60_Fanatic replied to Alex_G60_Fanatic's topic in Forum Group-Buys
ok, it's offical...this is no longer a feeler thread. I'm going to post on the Canada club thread to see if we can get the numbers up. The more folk we have the cheaper I can make the rollers... ---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ---------- how many do you want??? enough for one car? :scratch: -
hey hey! I tried to do it myself but the tensioner bolt was seized. I actually had a go again a few days ago after getting it back from the garage, The tensioner is set to it's maximum already... It wont tension any further than it already has. I might have to try and find a slightly smaller belt...

cheers dude, I could sure do with the encouragement... I'm getting a second hand alternator off a pal tonight in fact just so I can drive the car until I get a replacement. I may just save up for a new one though... although I'm kinda skint at the moment.

What now? what crazy lingo you wise cracking with me?? Whats a Diode Rectifier?
-
ooooh realy? I shall investigate! ---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ---------- looks like £12 from GSF... worth a bash! I wont get it before the weekend though so the car is grounded until then... :(

It looks like my alternator has gone the way of the fairies... Driving last night and the lights started to go... then the the fan... then the car stopped. Got the RAC out and they charged the battery and got a multimeter onto the alternator. Started the car and was getting 18v then 4-6v then 18v etc... kept jumping up and down like a b*tch. The RAC chap said that it's more than likely the voltage regulator playing up... but he did say that he has never seen an alternator behave like that before. Usually, when the voltage regulator goes it's just higher than normal voltage that increases with the revs... not jumping up and down like a yoyo. So... i'm skint and i have no rado... again :(

Took the C to the garage to get the following things sorted.... 1. Track rods + ends changed 2. Power steering belt tightened up 3. tighten bolts around sump (the annoying ones that are hard to get to, next to the gear box) Gave them the car at 9am as well as all the parts they needed (new belt and new track rods and ends) I phoned them as i found out that I had to do an emergency call to a client and that i would need the car. So they popped the car back together, with only having done the drivers side track rod and charged me £100 cash. :( SO i'm still am no further forward really...

Confussing! When your telling me how many you need remember that 1 set = 2 rollers = 1 door Or just tell me how many doors you want rollers for. The reason i do it this way is that some people in the past have asked for 3 doors worth. ---------- Post added at 09:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 AM ---------- BTW we're almost half way there! :lol: 154 rollers my my count -
He only comes out at night so they say... stalking the forum for the unsuspecting. He did comment on a topic a few days ago but that was only to complain that reporting posts made him sad and he all wished we could just "get along" I was expecting something more than just tyres I must admit. When you dropping that V8 in there that I've been hearing about... (in my mind!)

I'm going send a mass pm tomorrow with a date... Unless you already have I'd urge anyone who hasn't voted who wants to come to do so as I'll be going with either the most popular or in the case of a tie the originally agreed 16th. For those that are still unsure just pick a date that you would prefer or one that you "might" be able to attend if you find you have the time. Or if you can't make the 16th but you can do the 15th for instance again let me know ASAP I can't chose a good date without your help! Cheers guys! :D Sent from my iPhone you lemon! -

Alex_G60_Fanatic replied to Alex_G60_Fanatic's topic in Forum Group-Buys
Wow! If this keeps up we may well make the numbers! Was also considering posting this on the Canada club forum if we were struggling for numbers. If you ripped out the fixed panes, tore out the roof and fitted some new windows then sure! Why not :lol: Sent from my iPhone you lemon! -
If your Windows Rattle when it is half way down of fully down it's most likely because the thing above is worn. These are your window rollers, unfortunately they are now obsolete. This is a thread on where they live and how to change them if you don't know http://www.corrado-club.ca/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2890 Just found these pictures of the NEW rollers fitted to a window mech (just to give you an idea). [ATTACH=CONFIG]49753[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]49754[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]49755[/ATTACH] If any one is interested then just post your forum name on here. Extra Rollers Available I have approximately 20 spare rollers And I want these gone ASAP. Please let me know via PM if anyone is interested in a set!
