Hey Megan, they are indeed the brackets that lift the trim when the Sunroof is in the tilt position. Not sure you'll be able to reattach them without removing the whole cassette though. There should be springs on the bottom too. Have a search as I'm sure there are pics somewhere of how they attach.

Didn't realise this was happening, wondered why there were so many modified Dubs (and you're right, all had air ride!) at the services on the way back from Alton Towers this evening!

yeah its very common on all VW's of this era. The studs that the handbrake bolt to are attached to a plate, that has spot welds in the four corners. The front two welds fail after time due to stress of pulling it up so often. A couple of new spot welds and all should be good again.

Favorable price to forum members, let me know if interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Weitec-Coilovers-Corrado-Golf-VR6-/322037836841?hash=item4afaf36c29:i:322037836841[/b] sold[/b]

Just testing the replacement new aftermarket isv (which is also useless) and a guy comes over saying what a beautiful car, with the usual "don't see many about these days". Says he always admires it when he walks past. Seemed knowledgeable about cars and new a bit about the VR6 and how he'd always wanted one. Also asked a few questions about the BMC. Apparently a guy approached a work colleague on Thursday too asking if he knew who owned it, and enquired if I'd think of selling! He's apparently gonna stop by next week to talk about it. - No, not unless the price is too good to refuse!

Good to hear you got a relatively quick sale Rog, hope you are happy with what you got for it. It's a shame as I'll be moving back down in August!

Think you're right Chris, just couldn't be arsed to go outside in the cold and wet to be sure! lol

If you do find a reasonable price set mate, just bare in mind they differ slightly from early/late cars if you didn't know. The early ones have a lip around the lock barrel where as the later ones are more flush.

Evening all, Apologies but I've had to pull out of this one. I'm joining a new ship mid April, and unfortunately we'll be at Sea this weekend. Must say I'm gutted, as I've never been to this show and was really looking forward to it, but no getting out of it I'm afraid. Hope you all have a great day, and hopefully see some of you at other shows this year.

I think a bit of thinners on a sponge would get it back eventually Rob. You could try to rub it down a little bit first, but just be careful you don't damage the slightly textured plastic.

Wow, really sorry to hear about such an experience. I didn't even know they did mechanical work, I thought they were just suppliers. I bought my VT mounts from them about 18 months ago, and they seemed very friendly on the phone (not sure who it was I spoke to), and they did me a cracking deal so I was pretty happy. Obviously times change and you can never take things at face value which is such a shame.

I've got an embroidered set for best too. I think the quality is pretty good thanks. Much better than the brand new BMW ones Ives recently bought anyway, as the old ones had a hole in after 4 years and 60k. I have a printed script set I use normally, and a rubber set in the shed but they obviously hold water and look dirty all the time so I don't like them.

Welcome back Jack! Looks an incredible example there, even the tail pipe looks really clean and original. congrats on your purchase!

Cheers Tom, much appreciated!

If you've got a couple, I'd have one please Tom!

It's a pain in the arse Rog! I put 4 litres through it the other week and still wasn't happy. Paid a garage to do it and Mot it, but it came back exactly the same as before, but with a fresh ticket. Think it may have been because I'd been driving the Bimmer for a while but I could have sworn they were better before!

Blue/white wire is for us market, to do with increase volume/speed control iirc. Don't connect it, it'll stop your spoiler raising at speed Chris.

There should be a 13mm bolt and nut that secure it to the wishbone. The threaded part screws into the arb itself. That one is 17mm

I saw that and wondered why it was pulled so quickly! Fair play!

They're probably special order, which usually takes 2-3 weeks to come from VW classic parts to them, from which they'll dispatch it to you.

Thanks for all the positive comments gents, much appreciated! :thumbleft: Michael, I think your car has an absolutely perfect stance. What will you be swapping them out with?

Yeah he had the teves20 system and fitted a mk4 servo & MC. From what I remember, he had a bit more pedal travel but more efficiency, although I imagine it could be a little snatchy like that.

He's really racking up some spares! Got a load of interior parts off of me last month. As you say, top bloke, and could have talked for ages had it not been so cold and him have such a treck out of his way (Thought I was in Farnham not Fareham! lol).

Thats quite reasonable actually, I was expecting something like 2 or 3 times that! Thanks bud. :thumbleft:

You'd know if you had one with those badges.................... :notworthy: :grin:
