Roger Chatfield

Long shot I know but have any of my corrado chums got something like a wooden cigar box kicking about that they no longer require.

I'm looking for something to convert into a tenor ukulele so am looking for an interesting box as a starting point.

Many thanks.

Is a Corrado VR6 (6.2) nearly a second faster that a Golf VR6 (7.1)...mmmmm

Yoko Prada spec R's here, I really like them, good price and they seem to be lasting well.

Rog.

I'm off to see it again tomorrow, TBH I think I was a bit too excited to take it all in so looking forward to the 2nd viewing, like Andy going to see it 2D this time.

Rog.

For anyone who fancies a bit more of a challenge - I have recently fitted mk4 golf heater controls and heater box/cables to my Corrado.. It's a very good fit, but requires some modifications to the glove box and the panel below it. Benefits are a well illuminated heater panel, with controls that feel robust and easy to turn. Also the recirc function works which is a bonus. The fan itself is also much more powerful and replacement parts are easy to come by...

If anyone wants more info, just pm me and I'll point you in the right direction.

Sounds like an interesting mod, is it reversible? Also any chance of some pics.

Rog.

Two thumbs good from the Chatfield, really really good, cant wait for the next.

BTW when I went to see my Storm me and Andy (CazzaVR) spent about 10 mins talking about the rado and an hour talking Star Wars...lol

(for my Renault 11 Turbo)

A rare beast even in the day, any chance of some pics.

Welcome Matt, nice mystic storm you have there.

I too have a mystic and live it, like you mine is driver and is my daily transport, it's a bit tatty round the edges but they are meant to be driven.

You'll like it here, loads of helpful folk.

As above I made my own loom using 4 relays, the difference is very good.

You can buy the OE style head lamp connector so there is no need to have the rear covers open.

I did consider putting the relays in the actual head lamp unit, there is room for two relays in there and they would be 100% water tight but tbh tucked in beside the battery seems to work fine with no issues.

Rog.

Morning chums,

I'm going to remove my abs unit in the next couple of days in an attempt to fix it.

Now, when I replace it what's the correct procedure to bleed it? Is it just a case of undoing the bleed nipple on the top or is there something else I need to do?

Rog.

I made my own, it's not massively difficult but you do need to know how to keep the smoke in the wires..lol.

If you get no joy finding a kit I could knock you something up but it won't be until after Christmas.

Rog.

I'm sure I can send these to Sweden and Germany at not much extra cost, give me a few days and I'll give you a price guys.

 

Rog.

A little bit of research has suggested I send these to the European mainland for about £1, therefore at the current exchange rate I can do these to your door for €8 but can only except PayPal gift as payment.

I've a few left if anyone wants a Christmas treat.

Rog.

As above, the difference is amazing.

Rob, I'll order up some red el sheet and have a go at making you something, I've got my old one as a template so it should be possible.

Rog.

Going to be fitting my new alarm soon and need new A pillar trims as mine have holes in from the previous alarm.

Anyone got a pair of mint A pillar trims kicking about??

Rog.

Posted this afternoon, hopefully you should see them by the end of Monday.

Rog.

Stickers ordered, I'll pick them up and get them in the post tomorrow, I've ordered a few extra so there will be more available.

Rog.

Impressive as per usual, can't wait to see this in the summer.

Rog.

Rob, I think you could do the heater controls in red el sheet like what is used in the back light mod, if you wanted it all red then it's probably something we could do but if you wanted different colours (blue for the cold setting) then maybe contact the guy that did the backlight kits.

Rog.

Little update.

I'm not working on Thursday so I'm hoping to get these ordered then.

So if you want one please PM me asap for payment details.

In addition, if you have paid me and your name is not on the first post please let me know.

Cheers chums.

Rog.

If JEZR doesn't take the upper inlet manifold can I have it please.

Rog.

I'm sure I can send these to Sweden and Germany at not much extra cost, give me a few days and I'll give you a price guys.

Rog.

Obviously a wiring fault somewhere, do all the indicators flash on the wrong side or is it just one?

What about the telltale on the dash, is that incorrect as well?

Rog.

I'm now taking payments, if you have paid me please make sure you are on the paid list in the very first post, if you are not please let me know.

Many thanks

Rog.

Yes please, top idea.

Rog.

Ok, Rob has now confirmed that the colour and fit for the red is good so I think we are now ready to place an order.

Now Rob did say that maybe you should get a spare in case of a fitting error, sounds like a good idea but I'd say it's probably not needed, the sticker shop now has the correct artwork on their system and I now know the correct colours so I can get additional stickers printed up at any time, also I'll probably order up a few extras as I think there will be a small constant demand for these.

Price...the original test pieces cost £5 each, future orders should be a bit less but I will have to add postage on top so I'm thinking if I still charge a fiver each then that should cover the postage, if there is any profit I'll donate it to the forum.

I plan to place an order in the next few weeks so I think the best plan is for folk who want badge stickers to PM me for payment details etc.
