Hi, do you still have the passenger's side window motor and regulator? If so, how much including postage to SN4 7EU? Cheers

Hi guys. The passenger side window motor appears to have packed up on my '95 16v. Can you just replace the motor, or do you need to replace the regulator too? Cheers.

Yep, I'll take the bumper off your hands mate. £50 delivered, lovely. PM me your payment details. Iain

Cheers mate, will let you know for definite by the weekend. Going to see my mate tomorrow afternoon who will tell me whether or not he can salvage the bumper. May well be cheaper to have the part off you anyway, but can let you know by tomorrow evening! Iain

Blimey, sorry to hear that mate. What's the mileage and general condition of the car like? If you look back in the thread you can see what reg and mileage mine is on (the bodywork isn't too shabby at all) so it should give you a fair idea of what sort of valuation you should be looking for!

We'll see mate. Trouble is it would be no cheaper for me to come and collect it in my work van. Why can't you live closer?? :D

Thought it may have been. Just checking the parts list on the repair bill I was given by my insurers, and they had quoted for new rear bumper and new rear panel, I just assumed the panel was the section with the Corrado name on it, but looks like that'll just have to be beaten out. Bumper looks in pretty good nick fella. Would be interested in postage though. Best price I've found so far is £56 delivered, so if you can do it cheaper than that then we may have a deal!

Have you been on Dragons Den with this idea yet?

Am interested mate. Any chance of a few photos to show extent of chipping? Also, do you have the rear panel, located between the boot and bumper. I'm not the best when it comes to this sort of thing so I assume that it's a separate part...

Hi, know I'm a bit late to the party, but any chance you have the rear bumper still?

Yeah, sorted nice and quick which is good. Really not bothered about the Cat C marker on it as plan on keeping it a fair while longer! When did yours go into the garage then?

OK then, car is back home and is a Cat C write off. Valuation of the car was £1400 and have decided to buy the salvage for £150, which gives me more than enough to get the little probs sorted. Pretty happy with that decision to be honest!

Hi Tom, sent you a couple of PMs re: the sunroof motor but have had no reply. You still got the part fella?

Had my valver for coming up to 2 years now and love it to pieces. Not much more I can add to what everyone else has said regards problems. Biggest issue I've had was replacing the cooling fan, so have been lucky, but e-bay is always a close friend. You're going to get problems on any car you buy, but I like to think a C is similar to what they say about an Alfa Romeo. It can be incredibly infuriating for a large period of time, but when everything comes together and works right, and you're on a nice twisty country road on a clear summer's day, you can't beat the feeling!

Am in a quandry here then. Spoke to a mate of mine who works in insurance and he said it didn't sound too promising. Apparantly even though it is his fault, the insurance company wouldn't be bothered as the repair is still economically unviable. I would have loved to dealt directly with the third party's insurance, but as I type he: a) has trouble grasping the english language yet alone knowing who he is insured with (although Direct Line assure me he is insured) b) would Direct Line give me the details of his insurance company or would the Data Protection act prohibit that C)I have no eye witnesses, it's my word against his Direct Line have told me though that they are waiving my excess as it wasn't my fault, so that's something. Just need to wait on the decision...
