    The car looks great mate. And I don't think the list ever ends. I just close the garage door on mine and walk away.

    What did you need the Bentley manual for? I'm not selling but do have one

    Do love my money pit!

    I had the manual on a disc but it won't play! Handy to have tho.

    Still love my car even if it starting to look a bit tatty!

    I've got a couple of issues so was looking for some advice

    Car seems to loose power when pulling away. My friend suggested changing the distributor cap, leads and rotor arm. I've had a look for parts and eBay seems cheap enough but do I want cheap?

    Where else can I look?

    Also have an issue with the idle control valve, seems to stick at 2000 rpm a lot of the time.

    Where can I get a new one from or would a second hand one do?

    Many thanks Corrado people xx

    I can only imagine he is referring to the damper (a metal/rubber composite donut shaped object) that often wear loose and rub/run/spin on the driveshaft, causing noises and vibrations.

     

    No need to replace the shaft, just cut the damper off.

    Cool that's what I wanted to hear!

    Do I need to replace the damper?

    Who understands driveshafts?

    I was supposed to change the boot kit ? (Big rubber thing) but I didn't!!

    The car is now making a knocking sound but it's on the other side.

    Do you think this is another issue, mate said cv joint?

    i did buy break pads and discs for the front but too so maybe it's that?

    I'm having all the parts fitted this weekend so take it from there I guess

     

    Any ideas always appreciated

     

    So I've had all the parts fitted and the guy said the balance plate on the drive shaft has snapped, do I need a new driveshaft ?

    Thinking about it Sean, this may be irrelevant as I know very little but I did change the sparks plugs recently and a rocker cover. One of the old spark plugs was covered with oil. Not sure how the new ones look but maybe I need to check this also??

    Hey all

    My favourite Corrado man Micky- (so greatful)came and had a look. The ignition business was ok. He suggested it might be the starter motor so got the RAC out and he tested stuff and confirmed it is the starter motor. I'm picking one up tomorrow so hopefully this will be it for this month!! Massive thank you to Micky, he is on here somewhere!

     

    Still love my car🤓But still can't get my photos to upload on here😦

    Hey

    I've not posted on here for so long and feel quite guilty that I've been using the Corrado chat on facetybook!

    Well the plan was to sell the car last year but unfortunately I slipped a disc in my back so I was unable to do anything! I'm still suffering now and so is my little car. I've had various issues lately and have replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. It's had new discs and pads. It passed the Mot but now the flames won't start. I've replaced the battery but still doing nothing. My Corrado mate is coming over later to take a look but any help or advice really appreciated!
