I thought it was an option when you bought the car? at least on early models...

Yan orders things off there all the time. Maybe worth a pm

If the bearings where greased up they should be fine still. How bad is the surface rust?

Hello! My new front cross member and rad panel is off at Forfar Galvanizes getting hot dipped today! should be done in the next few days and this weekend we'll get the it all reattached! WHEY!

you can get them from vw in 5 x 100 as well as the audi 5 x 112's Also, they do a 16inch which is what ill be getting... If i ever manage to get them that is.

that cover looks spot on mate! nice job, hope the oil light works out to be a simple fix!

If im honest this is what i would have done! :lol: The red mist would have descended and that would have been me chasing and beeping, f'in and blinding until she either stopped or was forced off the road in a ball of brilliant white flame.... Well maybe not "quite" that but close enough. Was in a prang with my mate in aberdeen about 2 months ago when he had drove me to get some corrado bits. Lass clipped his wing mirror and drove off and he went rage! tyre squealing after her and did exactly what this chap did... fortunately it came off ok!

The box might well fit but you'll probably need to cut the bumper to get the tail pipes to sit in the hole that is there for the OEM tail pipe... unless you can manage to get the pipes to face down the way and avoid the rear plastic completely. Not sure it will look that good though.

"Slap"

It's a great shame your thinking of selling up mate, hope you stick it out for another year at least, the summer is going to be magic for driving in. That shot at Glen coe looked the bee's knees btw PS. It's almost certainly St Monance.

You stay classy San Diego! :thumbleft:

That's harsh! I didn't mean that and i certainly didn't join the CCGB purely for discounted parts. I love the sprinter and the time i had down at BVF with everyone, I mean, Wendy lent me 20 fags... That's gotta be worth a membership fee! :lol: I just think it's disgraceful of VW to not look after they're fan clubs and the prices they charge for parts. ---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ---------- I like my Yaris mate, Me and the misses swear by our 2008 model. We even took it round Knock hill and gave a mk1 escort a run for it's money! great little cars for knocking about in. But i wouldn't feel ashamed for asking for a discount! Like you said yourself, you EARNED that discount! 20 years of parts and services is worth a little money off in my books! My sister has had loads of problems with vw down in Swindon all to maintain a VW service history. I discovered after looking at the car that they weren't even changing the oil! I just have no faith in vw garages any more... I don't blame you getting fed up with them.

That's payment made for speakers and gasket set :) Cheers!

Hey there! I'll take both door speakers if you can post them £15? ---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ---------- I'll also take the sump gaskets too if £6 is ok?? SOOOOoooo Hows £22 delivered sound?

I've seen this before about a year ago... It's 4 wheel drive but it's only a 1.8 16V bored out to a 1.9... I posted it on here ages ago because i thought it was a hoax! But I know for sure it got up to 700bhp via this

That's very kind Kip! thank you, unfortunately, I've already spent the £200 now else i may well have chatted you or another member up. I just assumed that as a member of "The Association of British Volkswagen Clubs" that the CCGB members would be entitled to a discount (as per the CCGB web site). I understand however that you can't by rights trawl the country and agree discounts with every VW franchise. Although i do think VW need to pull their finger out, some franchises give the brand a bad name in my opinion. You would think that VW would insist on agreed terms with franchises for ABVC members to avoid confusion...

agree... the polo i got was a low mileage car with mot and tx for £400. I'm sure you can find something sensible to drive to work in

I think Corrado's are getting to the age where most people should be considering owning them as toys and not commuting tools. With more and more parts becoming obsolete, the poor (by modern standards) fuel consumption and the cost of servicing (especially the g60!) I would dread to think what I would do to mine if I drove her to work every day... When I first got her (G60 like yours) I used to commute. Was about 1000 miles a month and she was great but I was spending loads on fuel! About 20mpg was my best due to the heavy foot. Took her off the road and got a little 1.4 cl mk4 polo. Just as fun but got 50mpg if I behaved myself! Little cars like that are the salvation of little luxury cars like the C. So if the C is a toy, a fun car to drive and own on the weekend, and you don't want to keep her for that purpose then I agree with you, selling may be the best option. But if i was you I'd do what i did, Get a small, cheep car for peanuts and dive that about to save yourself for the C. Classic insurance for the C is cheaper with max mileage limits per year, you'll save on the fuel and more importantly you'll save a rare car from being driven to an early grave. :)

I know.. it's just for his and others future reference

as for where to get it from, your local vw garage or TPS is the place to go

That's rocking you got them from a forum member but just to let you know they are available from VW for less than a pound each Part number N 90401901 and 0.39Euro

Yeah, being the only vw franchise in Dundee they have a little monopoly. If i was in Edinburgh i could use tps but that's over an hours drive down the motorway.

But the next nearest one from me is 40miles away... :(

No TPS centre in dundee... I'm stuck buying from VW. as for delivery, I didn't ask for next day. I asked for a discount!... I even left my club details with them last week so they could add it to the invoice! Maybe it's just this particular franchise that sucks... And as for service parts not being cheep... I'd not class fuel tank straps and crank bolts as "service items"! They seem to just be taking the p**s and like supercharged says... giving VW a bad name. ---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ---------- I know... I was tempted to tell them to get lost this morning. I could have done without spending £200 in two weeks...

AHHH! you plum!!! I paid £48 + Vat for mine!:censored: That's the other thing, vw are making everything SOO expensive. Two bolts cost me £10!!! it makes me sick
