I'll have 2! :scratch:

Yeah just a bit of dirt trapped on the brass contact is all. Remove Stearing wheel, clean, a touch of silicon grease won't hurt, replace wheel.

Fuel pump relay is 67 or 167, and is on the bottom right. There are a few relays that won't be there, I forget exactly where but the left 2 definitely aren't there mate.

Just had a look at it myself Wayne. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?t=80155&p=1060022&viewfull=1#post1060022

It usually is mate. I'd just been in there and just didn't think! :bonk:

Ahh bless! Thanks dude. :thumbleft: But yes we do. Should be able to get on here provided its not blocked for some stupid reason.

So, after roping the missus in to come into work at lunch time, we successfully bled the brakes on the Aqua manually using the pedal. Car now has a fresh ticket, and is ready for sale! On the downside, she walked into my parts store, and saw the Bilsteins! :eek: Needless to say, she wasn't best pleased. :bad-words: :agrue: I'll try to look at it in a positive light though, which means I can bring them home and and fit them at the weekend! :dance: Last week at work next week before a short amount of leave, then off on my travels! :( Tomorrow will be giving the car a clean and fitting the new ignition switch, then doing preps for leaving work and shifting my parts into the garage where the car will spend the rest of the year. :pale:

Yeah I don't think it's QUITE that time of year where they all come out of hibernation yet. That said, there were 4 in Collingwood last week. My 2 in the car club, a red G60 parked behind the car club, and an Aqua VR6 I saw outside the pass office, then again the following day parked outside the gym. Largest gathering of Corrados I've ever seen outside of an organised meet!

Cheers pal!

:thumbleft:

I advertised them on here a while back but had no takers. They do look great, and it'd be no hardship putting them back in I suppose. I'll see what happens though and its not the end of the world if they don't sell.

Thanks Chris, wanna buy it??? :norty:

Any better?

Bugger, sorry! Username is seanl-2007 I'll try to sort it out. :thumbleft:

Just a few parts I'm selling. I'll knock a few quid off for forum members if you contact me first. :thumbleft: http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/seanl-2007/

Other way round mate. 1.8 head on 2.0 block, or alternatively just 1.8 cams in the 2.0 head with block. Good gains to be made by doing that. Don't think there is really much that can be done to the KR on its own unless performance cams are used, and major head work done.

Andy, lift the bonnet with the wipers on and check where the motor is situated. Check the linkages to see if they are rotating. That'll tell you if it's the motor or spindles that are gone.

Fair enough, agree to disagree about foam Jamie, but you're right about swirls being unavoidable 100%. That's where I think foam helps as the vast majority are inflicted by contact. Less contact with foam = fewer swirls.

I've seen pressure washers remove paint from bumpers before. I use one on my car, but I certainly don't get too close. It was a very nervous moment the first time I did it after paint though. Any poor prep will be unearthed pretty sharpish with a high pressure jet!

Snow foam just loosens the dirt so removes the majority of crap after rinsing. The less you actually touch the car the better, so you don't need to be very aggressive with your wash mitt to get the toughest dirt off. Snow foam is very good stuff, just a pity the lances can be so expensive.

I've found the best way when bleeding is to have the car jacked up at the front and do lock to lock a dozen or so times without the engine running, then again with engine running. Drop the car back down to the floor and repeat with engine running. Worked really well on both the cars I've done it on

It's like Americans I guess. Mike is very enthusiastic about it all, and at points it's a little cringeworthy. It gets on my nerves a little sometimes, but certainly not to the point where I'd give him abuse for it or rant off about him. Tim Shaw of car sos on the other hand!........

Sorry just checked Wayne, accelerator pedal rubber came from a t4. Advertised on ebay for Mk1, Mk2 Golf and caddy as well. Just think it tidies it up a little in the footwell.

I bet you only use it in the summer though Jamie. Its good when there are hosepipe bans and your car is just a bit dusty, or when you get to a show after a bit of a drive. The unsuspecting general public will be using this stuff in the depths of winter when the car is covered in muck and grit, and will think its great, scrubbing away with their asda sponge!

No they weren't there from the factory as far as I'm aware. I just put one there.
