They are about. I had the in the valver and they were black, not sprayed. Unfortunately, the car has now gone to the scrap heap (as in my sig). The bloke who took it is Dan at DevonDubShack. http://search.yahoo.com/r/_ylt=A0oG7t92ADJQfSUAeUlXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTE1bmc3NHE4BHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMQRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA01TWTAwMV8xMTg-/SIG=11jrt5f41/EXP=1345482998/**http%3a//www.devondubshack.co.uk/ If you email him, he may still have them.

Your not forgetting the screw for the light that requires a long screwdriver down the hole in the slam panel are you?

Unless they know Corrados I very much doubt it. It'll probably take you less time than it would take them, unless you print the guide with pics out and hand it to them. Even so, it'll probably cost a pretty penny as it takes a few hours.

Its a two man tent Wendy, but I'm sure he'd be happy for you to sandwich yourself in! :lol:

Yarp,the tapered bearings in the rear are supposed to be a little loose, to allow for the expansion of the metal when it gets hot. Trust me I know, as I did them up too tight, shredded the bearing, and shredded a stub axle in the process!

If you have the bypass delete, and your matrix is a bit blocked, the water wont circulate properly. This will cause strain on the pump, and water will get hotter than it should as its not being cooled by the rad properly. I had problems with my oil light/alarm randomly flashing. I'd changed clocks, wiring, sensors, pump, cleaned pickup the lot. Turns out it was the baffle on the pickup being a bit loose as one of the retaining clips had snapped off.

Check the dim dip resistor on the front of the n/s wing, inner side near the battery.

Do you mean to take the pulley off? I clamped the pulley in a vice with wooden blocks between the metal. It did move a little under high tension, but managed to get the securing bolts out without too much bother.

As said, Bora or Passat alloys, Castellets iirc. 16" 5x100, and can be picked up for about £120 or less on ebay auctions.

Not sure on Womens Boxing, but Nicola Adams, WOW! Amazing fight, absolutely fantastic stuff!

The car has been wrapped in carbon fibre, which shows a few creases, but nothing majorly noticeable. WTF, oozes half arsed efforts from start to finish. Why spend so much time and money to create such a monstrosity! :cuckoo::brickwall:

I sent mine back about two weeks after my car was written off. (a week after bunging 6 months on!) Ive still not got anything back 6 weeks later! and I sent it express recorded. I sent the v5 off in the same envelope to say it had gone to a trader for dismantling, and received the form back saying Im no longer the keeper last week! They are particularly slow when issuing money back, but are all over you when you tax it on time, throwing fines about like you wouldnt believe!!!

lol, great England!

Take as much as you can off with a flat stanley blade, just be careful not to scratch the glass. Then as suggested above for the residue etc.

Sorry dude, got sidetracked watching the cycling! Anyway, here we go; Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 Relay No: nil 72 nil 18 43 21 rear scr Ign main ? Indicator/ wash relay hazards Inter wipe/ Relay No: nil scr wash nil fogs horn fuel pump Position: 7 8 9 10 11 12 Put your hand on each one when its happening, you will obviously feel which one is buzzing away. Hope this helps mate. Edit, didn't come out how I wrote it so I'll go again! Relays left to right, 1-6 top, 7-12 bottom row. position 1 - nil, 2 - relay 72 = Rear screen wash, 3 - nil, 4 - relay 18=Ignition main relay, 5 - relay 43 = ??, 6 - relay 21 = indicator/hazards position 7 - nil, 8 - relay 19 = screenwash/intermittent wipe, 9 - nil, 10 - relay 53 = fogs, 11 - relay 53 = horn, 12 - relay 80/67/167 = fuel pump

I'm 30, but currently without a Corrado though. Only managed one for 7 months before it was written off. I will be on the lookout very shortly for the next though!

There is a master ignition relay I'm sure. I'll be home in about an hour and I'm pretty sure I still have the list in my "useful information" folder, so will fish it out for you mate.

I've heard of people using it wheels actually. Its more robust in the whole than powdercoating, but shows scratches much more iirc. Depends where your using it I suppose, but I'd ensure the bits being done are 100% clean of any rust, as it doesn't adhere to the actual surface so much as mould around it, therefore giving breathing space for rust to oxidise and spread underneath.

More than likely just the seal, but its gearbox off to replace it obviously. I'd be more concerned about the damage that could have been caused by running it dry. Do you have any grinding or engagement issues when selecting gear?

More likely you have an earth somewhere mate. Do an earth check to eliminate that, as its free if you have a multimeter. Mine used to go flat after about 4 or 5 days, and it transpired to be my uprated headlight loom had been catching of the rad fan, burning through the insulation, and shorting out on the fan cowling. You can also check your alternator wiring with a multimeter. :thumbleft:

God I wish I had the cash right now. :sad: Search goes on until the money comes through, hopefully within the next few months though.

Not me. I've just put a deposit on a Fabia 1.4 MPI. Yes I know its slooooooow, but its mainly for the missus to run around in. Its absolutely mint, 38k, FSSH, 12 Months MOT, and 5 Months Tax. Was a PX at the dealership, and cost £1500. Not too bad considering the milage I think. The insurance is seriously low too! Thats the best part as not many young chavs drive them to death, and who steals a Skoda! :smug:

Have a good look for all earths that may have been removed whilst removing the immobiliser. If they're all at points, ensure they're nice and tight.

Probs just the mk2 boys, or even the mk4 boys as they have to try to shift focus from their fat arsed lardy cars themselves! :lol:

You can still get them from the dealer. About £55 per side iirc mate. Are you on GolfGTIforum? Usually very helpful in there. Alternatively do a search in there as it comes up a fair amount. :thumbleft:
