It is Aqua blue underneath. Car is currently in the paint shop so I’m like an excited child waiting. Looking forward to getting it back and out there for a good blast.

Thought I would update this. I have decided to take the car back to its original colour as the person who painted it black needs to go back to plastering . Part way through the prep now and it is booked in for the end of Jan so looking forward to getting it done. I used some stickers to hide the paint during this summer which I loved but needed to get it sorted properly.
And now it currently looks like this

Yeah. Got a few bits in mind. Having the first of many trips to the body shop. I’ve always run my front bumpers with the number plate recess deleted so got that sorted the other day and passed it onto my paint guy

Thanks Mack. Sorted the wiper issue real easy. The previous owner had put the relay in the wrong place 😳. Just finished the welding where I’ve repacked the rear of the near side sill. Not too bad but was an advisory on the last MOT so best to get it done. 

Haha. Yeah, it’s a genuine VR this time. Bought it a little underpriced as the history was limited and needs work which I’ve done most of already. Looking for a set of lupo wipers for it and still need to sort the wiper issue out where it only works on the top setting 🙄😂. Oh, and it has been painted with a yard brush 😞. I also still have the mk2 I got when the last corrado left so it’s getting a bit expensive 😩.

Ok. I’ll try the app. Let me try some pics

evening. Been out of the corrado ownership for a few years but got myself a new one a few weeks ago and it’s just like putting on an old shoe…….. it smells funny but it’s comfortable 👍🏼  
 

anyway. Glad to be back and lots to do to get the car up to my standard but I’ve started and will be looking for more bits but for now. Hello 👋🏼 

Top man. Appreciate it. Let me know how much and I'll fire the funds over

Great stuff. Would you be able to post it out? Bit of a trek for me to get to you 😞 If so I can settle up via PayPal pretty quick 😊

Looks just what I need. How much are you thinking? Also, what's your location?

Nice one thanks. Will be away until Weds but will check in when I get a wifi spot

Just a plain black one buddy. I have tombstones in the front. Do you have pics?

Looking for a black rear bench, cloth or leather, preferably with the central hump. As close to Buxton, Derbyshire as possible or willing to ship. Cheers

Cheers for that, I'll send him a message

Hi All,

Looking for a set of black cloth seats. Ideally with no pattern and with the humped rear. As close to the stockport area the better.

Thanks

Andy

Morning all

My Valver is refusing to run unless I close the potentiometer on the top of the throttle body. Anyone else had this problem?

Cheers guys, lots of thing I can look at. Maybe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

Will check these this weekend. Thanks guys :)

There is an aftermarket one fitted but all seems OK with that as the entire system doesn't work if it hasn't been turned off. Not sure of the brand that it is though

Yeah, the pump is priming OK, not checked the filter yet though. I'll have a butchers cheers

The car cut out on me first so had it recovered to the local garage where they checked the timing over and started the car and it ran fine again............................................ for a grand total of 47 miles then cut out on me again but wouldn't re-start. I replaced the dizzy (last thing I swapped) and it fired up straight away. I left it on the drive ticking over for 15 mins and it was fine. As I drove up the road I got 1 mile from home and it cut out again.

It would start then immediately cut out. Now, it fires, runs for between 30 seconds to a minute then dies.

Hi All,

My '91 Valver with the 2.0l 9a motor has a big problem at the moment and it's driving me insane and to the brink of breaking it for spares!!

The car starts, runs beautifully for between 30 seconds to a minute then dies. Does this every time :(

So far I have changed the following....

plugs

leads

dizzy cap & rotor

Dizzy

Coil

ECU

Coolant temp sensor

Cold start sensor

Nothing has changed at all.

Please can someone shed some light into what the problem could be.

Many thanks in advance,

Andy

Nice one. Let me know if you have and i'll send the address :)

Hi everyone.

Does anyone know the part no. or where I can but the cold start sensor for my valver. its the one with the white plug I'm after.

Cheers,

Andy

Hi All,

Having running troubles with the valver where I've had to be recovered back home again today :(.

Been checking over the wiring around the dizzy as this has been an issue with it in the past and noticed these seem to be damaged on the hall sender. Do these look like they are fubar to anyone else??

Cheers,

Andy
