Going to be putting an add in for Sale soon!

Yep! Height and back rest Electronically adjustable. Forward / backward manual adjust just like standard seats!

Alby, No probs, was going to put them on ebay unless someone on here wants to make me an offer i cant refuse! Similar LHD set sold for about £560ish http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 71132&rd=1 These were heated mind you, Im hoping for about £450 complete Inc Door cards etc.

Heres a few pics of my Interior: Probably be selling complete interior soon and replacing with standard interior and then selling my car :cry: (cant afford 2 spare cars already paying company car tax on company car).

Just out of interest do you think the bolsters from a Escort RS recaro could be used to repair my worn drivers bolster as VW Cant get a replacement foam for these unlike the standard interiors foam???

Dont think RS recaros were electric not that this is really important but usually a way to tell if interior is genuine VW. I think golf II recaros were electric to but useless for Corrados as subframe makes you sit much higher! All you people out there with Leccy Recaros! Someone must have an adjuster switch they dont want! Im in desperate need for one i will even take someones old faulty one! PM me if you have one!

First time i did my heater matrix it took me and a mate 10 hours but this involved dash out twice as i crushed the plastic matrix pipe that goes through the bulkhead by massively overtightening the jubilee clip! The next one i did (not too long ago now) took me 4 hours in total (with same mate ) and that included putting foam (draft excluder to be precise) on all bits of dash that came in contact with other plastics. This is well worth doing as my dash is now totally squeak free. If you really dont want to do the job price sounds about right and in this cold weather you will probably think it was worth every penny!

Joe, i just did this job on both my corrados and it is really simple! time consuming and fiddily but simple! I would think the price is about right as probably 6 hours labour involved + £30ish for matrix. Be brave(£300 could pay for a lot of other stuff for your car) have a go yourself tools needed : Phillips Screwdriver(s), 8mm socket, 10mm socket and 24mm socket (to take steering wheel off). Start by looking for any visible screws taking them out removing trays etc and it all becomes pretty self explanitory. Good luck

Guys please beware of ebay user scanitin! hes selling fake possibly lethal steering wheels on ebay! please see my thread in ebay and misc! ***Sorry mods know this is not strictly right to duplicate threads etc but dont want anyone else to get caught out or possibly even hurt****

I noticed on a 01 plate Audi tt (180 bhp version) without the vented rear disc uses what appear to be identical rear callipers to the mk iv but appear to be powder coated or plastic coated in green! I was going to get these instead but wasnt 100% sure if the carrier was the same so decided to leave them! just out of interest does anyone know if these callipers would've fit? :?: :?:

The original rear callipers on my 93 2.0 16v are exactally the same as the mkIII ones! I dont know if these were fitted by someone else before i got the car but i do know that they are cast and that the handbrake has siezed on one side!!! :( I took the carriers and mk iv flexis aswell when i took them off the car and even took the pads as they looked quiet meaty (even tho i dont need them as upgrading to grooved rear discs and green stuff pads)! Just wondering as i took the flexis from the mk iv with the banjo type connector already there and currently attatched to calliper can i use these instead of buying new flexis? I ask as the fitting at the other end of the flexi pipe attatches to the same diameter copper and appears to have the same sort of compression type joint at the end! :roll: The salvage yard i got therse from is called Nevendon Salvage and is in Hullbridge Essex (ive been going there for years and are always very reasonable!) and i believe they will also for a charge do the dismantling and post items on to you if you can pay by credit card!!! I think they,ve got a web address i will see if i can find it if anyone is interested! When i was there they was breaking 5 Mk iv's a few passats lupos and polos loads of audis e.g a4, a6 tt a8 2 skoda octavia rs a couple of seat cupras and even a few porsches! The guy quoted me a month back £120 for 2 front callipers and the discs, pads,brake lines and carriers from a P reg 911 carrera (think its a 964) didnt get them as was a bit short of ££££ at the time :cry: but they looked in superb condition and was the powder coated black brembo type with porsche written in white writing on them! I think with a bit of fabrication and some hard work i could have got these on my c and would have made a fantastic brake upgrade for less than the price of one brand new front calliper from VW! Steve

just bought some mk 4 callipers!!! £40 the pair of a 2004 tdi that had only done 3200 miles!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: do i need to use corrado pads or should i go and buy some mk4 rear pads???? :roll: Just need the flexis! and mk4 rears here i come!!!! hmmmm do i put g60 fronts on????? :D Steve

Hey Alex! Your cars looking superb!!! 8) One day this will be how my car looks! Is that a different front bumper now compaired to earlier pics couldnt see the side vents in it before! Im gonna have to get some of those side skirts too! are they DSP ones! (nabbed your ecu now gonna nab your style lol!!!) Steve

Im Thinking about fitting some MK4 rear callipers to my 93 2.0l 16v C. :roll: Ive fitted replacement callipers before qnd obviousley changed discs and pads but am feeling a little nervous about swapping for callipers from a different vehicle! :oops: I Think this years C already uses equivilant to MK3 callipers and was really wondering if its worth upgrading these to the MK4 type i know the mk4 type are less likely to seize but is it worth all the aggro of getting new brake lines made???? If it is im not sure where i could get the flexi brake lines that would need changing to accept the Mk4 callipers made or can these be bought in a kit of some type? (im in the Essex area) and if so how much do you reckon these should cost? :?: Can someone whos done this modification let me know where they got there flexi brake lines from and roughly how much they paid? And most importantly any problems that they've had doing this mod or since with the brakes??? :?: Cheers Steve
