I changed mine last week with a GSF one, the budget one was an unknown brand I can't remember, and the premium one was Behr/Hella - which is the one I got in the end. I greased up the plastic gearing on the box after giving it all a good clean, but its still very stiff.

Very easy. You'll need a new paper gasket and O ring more than likely, but should be pence. Just a couple of bolts, and one for the banjo on the fuel line. Clamp off the fuel line first if your worried, but very little will leak out and a small amount of water will rinse it off. Bolt on new one and off you go!

Can I have the spoiler control module posted please Rich.

When I thought mine had died on the valver, I managed to find a set of brushes on ebay of all places! You'll need the serial number of your alternator iirc, to ensure the type of brushes will fit. There was only one set though, and I looked back a couple of days later, and it was gone. Lucky for me it was just a large earth and I managed to get to the bottom of it!

Just late and early mate. There were crossovers though with the early G60 having later parts etc....

Or converted to VR6.......................

Have a listen out for the fuel pump priming when you turn the key to position two Anne. The relays are notorious problems, so it could be the relay sticking so the pump isn't priming. That or coil pack anyway. Usually when the car is turning over ok, it points to a fuel or spark issue.

Its not just main dealers that have to, all "trade" used car sellers have to do it too. I'd give em a ring to make sure, but I'm pretty convinced that's correct.

I used autocheck from experian. It includes outstanding finance which apparently lots don't. Prices are all pretty much the same throughout. If its from a dealer though, they are required to provide you with a report by law, although I'm not sure of the details so not sure what would be included in their reports. :thumbleft:

I got one from a dealer before too. It was a rattle can and it was around £15, but you only get 150ml of base coat and lacquer. It was for my Dragon Green Golf3 and it wasn't a very good match, but I think it was simply because it was in a rattle can, and the metallic particles were much closer together for some reason. That coupled with it being older paintwork made it seem much lighter than the original paint. I got DBP from Paints4u after recommendations, and the match was perfect. Its about £24 but you get 500ml of primer and lacquer, and 400ml of base coat, as well as a bit of wet and dry and G3 rubbing paste. I did my A pillars in it, and was extremely happy with the outcome. :smug:

Well you should have seen the back, and that didn't have any on! :shocked!::lol:

You'll show em a true beauty mate! Just seen the pics of the laminex'd headlights, maybe a bit too much I think. Here is my old DBP Valver with a bit of laminex. Don't laugh, these are the only two pics I have with it on!!!! :lol: Ok, not strictly on in the second photo! I've still got a fair bit left, so I'm gonna do the fogs on the VR and see how that looks too.

Why didn't you paint the firewall and other areas that are the original colour when everything was out? Looks a bit of a mixiblob of colours now...............

If its original paint, paints4u are a very good match both from personal experience, and from what others have said mate. They do a good range too. :thumbleft:

They do look very good indeed!........................

Excellent, cheers mate!

Cheers Stone, makes sense as the cable goes to the ignition barrel sensor ring! Cheers. Anyone have any idea about the Diagnostics port wiring though?????????

Hi all, I've taken my dash out to sort all the wiring etc, and noticed what I think is the wiring for the OBD port, but it terminates at this box below. Is this correct? and if not, where is it supposed to go/what is supposed to be connected to it? Also, what is the other module next to the spoiler control if anyone knows? Thanks!

In the wiki section. http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?51125-Spoiler-motor-cleaning-and-repair

Is the engine still turning over when it doesnt start?

Too high? Offers?

Pretty mainstream I suppose, but I absolutely love everything by Rudimental at the moment, and I mean everything! Its very rare that one release after another after another produces the same spine tingling feeling for me, so hopefully it continues!

Still not finished! Got most of the wiring sorted today, although don't really have any phots. (They're boring anyway!) Took the airbox out and changed the matrix too, although it was valeo vw one with a manufacture date of 12/08 so was obviously pretty recently done. Oh well, changed it out anyway, and sorted the holes in the vents and the draught foam thing as well. It was all nice and free when I checked it, then put the dash back in, checked it again, and they're stiff as F*** again! Got fed up, so binned it off and came home. Will deal with it another day. Just gotta sort the speaker wiring out now then hopefully I'm done. One last thing, does anyone know if this first pic is right? It looks to be the wiring coming from the OBD port, but it looks like it terminates at this box............... Thats it for now. Next up is finishing off the wiring, then on to mechanicals. First off I'm gonna raise it up a bit, sort the brakes and handbrake cable, then change the thermostat and rocker cover, before changing all fluids and filters etc, then turn my attention to making it look good!

I was in Homebase earlier and stumbled upon this................................... Much too big, but perhaps worth looking for one online in the correct size if available?.............
