Anyone?

I would be interested to know also, I have this problem, thought about finding my driving position and spot welding it! got to be a better way though surely?

My other plan was to wedge something from the floor to support the seat, as I never have people in the back.

But it'd be nice to fix properly.

My drivers seat recline is knackered, it stays in place on one side , but the other side slips. I've had the seat out already and I can see the big cog ring seems to seperate a but then slip around about an inch.

Any ideas bar welding it?!

Up for sale is an original 1995 2.0 16v (9A) Corrado in ‘Diamond Black Pearl Effect’. Currently on 140k miles with 8 months mot, car is currently SORN, but I can putt tax on for cost, 6 Previous owners. 2 Keys & alarm fobs.

The OBC works perfectly as well as all electrics, sunroof tilt and slide, windows etc. The spoiler lifts correctly at around 55mph. Factory fitted alarm. All knobs on the heater work, and it blows hot and cold. The last stamped service was at 133k and I have done an oil change around 1500 miles ago. Cambelt changed at 120k. I’ve changed the HT leads, sparks, water pump, coolant and oil filter in the last 2,000 miles as well. Tyres all have 5mm+ on them.

Unfortunately both doors are showing some bubbling in the corner of them. Not big, but enough to need some attention.

As you can see from the photos, there is a stack of history with this car, showing it has been looked after. I’ve got a new company car coming, so unfortunately I won’t be using this car anymore.

I've reduced this to £1350 as my company car has arrived.

Hi,

I did swap the pump, a bit after this topic, and it stopped. But it may have been the tension on the belt. The old pump was also eating its self, metal on metal.

It's not a hard job, so I'd swap the pump, belts and coolant and it should be good!

I did ask (sort of jokingly) if you'd been through any deep water :)

It's worth removing the tank hatch, unscrewing the tank lid and shining a torch into the bottom of the tank to see if you can see any globules of water sat at the bottom, I remember (Jim?) having a similar problem on his 16v, water somehow getting into the tank, possibly from a breather pipe under the filler neck?

Might be advisable to change the fuel filter under the car too, less than a tenner.

Ha. I wish she'd told me before looking at it in horizontal rain for 30 minutes!

I'll give it a go. Filter changed only a few K ago.

Went to sort it out last night. Everything seemed fine, good power from the alternator, nothing looked broken etc.

So I figured it could be some crap from the petrol tank. It had a few gallons left, but figured it couldn't hurt. £40 later and 30 minutes of sitting in the car turning it over, it finally cleared and ran like normal.

I explained to my other half who said she'd only just put petrol in it. Weird, but might have been crap stuff.

Anyway, I asked about the water on the bonnet lining and she said she'd driven through puddles maybe a little fast as she likes the water splashing! That'll explain the wet and also why the electrics kept playing up. Everything was probably wet!

Bloody women.

Thanks for help/suggestions.

If I don't push it off a cliff I'll change it.

Interesting. The car should still start though! Just overheat, which it's not doing

Black.

I've gone through the excite wire problem before, and had to replace it. I will of course be checking I'm getting ~14v from it later on.

It was driven last night for 30 miles and it started doing funny electrics. So dim lights, slow wipers etc. Not what I want to happen to the wife at 11pm.

Then this morning it was similar and started choking. IT got progressively worse, to the point that it wouldn't start.

I think the water is unrelated, but I've never seen it before. Saying that, if I ever pop the bonnet it'll be once its warm (evaporated) or after its been in a garage.

I took one of the HT cables off and the end had a tiny bit of moisture on it. But thats all I've done as I was late for work. I'm going to take my tools and look tonight. Just wanted some ideas to look att

Pump is 500 miles old.

It wouldn't be leaking, it'd be spraying coolant. I got it to run for 30 seconds and gave it some revs and no liquid to be seen.

It'd been driven for 1/2 mile

Seems fine.

Not sure how'd it escape though!

Car has been doing 20 miles a day for a fortnight.

It was damn through and when I touched it my finger went straight through and made a hole.

Weirdly, its only the right centre piece and some of the left centre piece.

No smell or colour.

Car was struggling to go this morning, just chugging along. I think it's the alternator.

But when I looked under the bonnet, the lining on the bonnet was sodden, nothing was wet in the engine bay.

Could this just be from rain getting into some of the strengthening bars and leaking into it? Or something more sinister?

Blue storm outside marble workshop in haddenham today.

Are you local? Not spotted you about.

Ok, job sorted for tonight. Thanks.

Nice idea, I can try that. But that still won't tell me if my fan is on its way out or not. Suppose the only way is to compare with other Corrados.

Thanks for the link.

How do I know mine is crap, or if the replacement will be the same? air comes out, and it does warm the car up, but it just seems slow.

Whats it like to replace?

Now I'm starting to need to demist the windscreen, I'm finding out how crap the heater is. It seems to be wheezing out a little bit of air, so takes forever.

All knobs work, 1 through 4 all are different speeds, but even 4 is weak. Is there anything to do?

I'm after a drivers seat in good working condition. My current one is fine apart from the recline is a bit dodgy. Based in Oxford, but willing to travel, or organise courier.

Image to show the pattern I'm after.
