There does come a point when people want to move on. Some do permanently, many don't. It's an awful lot of hassle, not to mention it takes a lot of time and space to break a car. Many parts won't go or will take a long time advertising (which costs also) so it's usually best to just sell as is unless it's already on the cusp of becoming a scrapper. All the best with what you decide, but not sure I'd pick a clio as a successor. Sure they're pretty good fun to drive, but you'll always have the feeling you could have got so much more for your money if you buy one............

I got a good quality replacement with fixing tabs intact, and I've put it on for the time being using number plate strip tape, but the top still isn't fixed properly. It fixes for a few minutes if you push it at the top, but comes unstuck pretty quickly. My previous one had been bonded on with tigerseal which made it impossible to remove without breaking.

Why is it going up again now though. DVLA have just reportedly saved themselves £40m a year by doing it all online, why are we being charged more year upon year! And regardless, 2.5% is still far more than inflation!

I have VT mounts all round and have noticed no additional vibration in the cabin. I did however just get the competition front. The rear and GB mounts were fast road so a little more forgiving. As far as costing, every one of mine were almost completely shot so needed doing, and replacing with genuine would not have saved a great deal over VT. If you use aftermarket it a slightly different story, but there are huge variations in quality, especially with rubber components if using aftermarket products.

Wow, second one on a P in 2 days!

OK I'll take it if Stuart doesn't. Thanks.

Hi mate, interested in heater box with controls. Would you be able to post, and if so how much? Thanks, Sean.

Posted today mate, emailed you the tracking number. Cheers bud!:thumbleft:

Excellent, thanks mate! :thumbleft:

Bloody hell that was quick! I'll get them packaged up and in the post by Tuesday mate. Cheers!

288mm front brake calipers and carriers Taken from a mk3 Golf and have been wire wheeled, and painted VHT Silver by me, with the carriers painted with hammerite solid black by previous owner. I secured another set that were less than a year old before fitting, so these are for sale. There is some corrosion that had eaten away at some of the lettering so came off with the wire wheel, but still quite presentable. Pistons move freely and seals are intact. Anti vibration springs included. Will fit VR6 on standard wheels no problem, also mk3 Golf obviously, and Skoda Fabia. Collection welcome, any q's fire away. All correspondence to be kept to this thread unless confirming payment details, to keep within forum rules. Cheers, Sean.

OK I'll pass on this. Thanks Chris.

£10?

I'll have this please Van you pm me your details for PayPal. Thanks!

Charlie, I'm still interested in all carpet fixings, boot spoiler motor cover, and B pillars if you have them as Tomi has not replied. I'd also have both footwell trims (one by bonnet release, and the same one on N/S), and also sunroof motor cover, sunvisors, sunroof switch, and lower handbrake cover if the clips are intact. All posted if possible please mate. Cheers.

Good to hear it's finally sorted Dave, well done for persevering. There is a plastic bar type thing that slots in along the middle at the back of the fusebox, which looks the plugs in place if you haven't noticed it mate.

Here you go mate. They're available from VW for about £25. http://wiki.the-corrado.net/ignition_switch_replacement.html

Thanks Chris, how much posted mate?

Ignition switch mate. Are you with the car now? Try starting it and wiggle the key whilst it's turned. Very common fault.

I've not seen it tbh mate. It's possible to retrofit anything with enough time and patience, but the mountings are there at the back for it, and it would make life a bit putting in the standard place. It's your call if you fancy something different though bud.

Seeing as it's intended for hillclimb/track use Max, why don't you do away with at least the passenger side leccy window to save a bit of weight? Bit of perspex butted in place, job done!

A standard compensator is sufficient for the job. They are available from Heritage and the same as the mk2 Golf iirc. I'd say you definitely need one.

Bump

Well Bernie said at the press conference that there could be as little as 14 cars running next year, but the US track principle said the US public are not as excited as the cars sound so dull, to which Bernie hinted that there could be another major engine shake-up in the next couple of years with a return to big N/A power plants and less emphasis on noise levels as "its not f1" ...........

OK, I suppose I can stretch to the 4 required. Cheers!
