  1. As above, sell it unless you are just on a temporary downer with it.
  2. Great work. I think I see the PTFE fuel lines in my future pretty soon, was it easy enough to do?
  3. What's the problem with it at the moment?
  4. Sheppard road in the Cranbourne/viables area, so not far from you at all really. Maybe have a catch up some time?
  5. Not always as simple as just marking the body either. You need to make sure the rotor is in exactly the same position too, and that the engine hasn't moved at all, other wise no marks you make will matter one iota and you will have to set it all from scratch. Which is simple enough in reality.
  6. Where abouts in Basingstoke are you?
  7. I was more referring to the 325 E36, than the coupe specifically ;)
  8. My old E36 325 coupe did 175k miles in my ownership (6 years) and never needed anything engine related bar oil and plugs. Only other thing it needed was a couple of bushes, and they were cheap as chips.
  9. Do you mean with ignition on only, or with engine running? If running, I'd agree with Sean, as my VR had similar symptoms when one lead was arcing across to the manifold gasket (bending the protruding bit of gasket out of the way fixed it). If the noise is without the engine running then it won't the HT system arcing. Maybe your aux water pump could be making the buzzing noise?
  10. Dark blue, not sure of flavour, heading out of Basingstoke along the A33 this afternoon. Looked tidy, unfortunately I was in the Lex today and don't see it in time to flash.

  12. I'll take this mate delivered to Basingstoke. Don't see a "buy" button though so can't seem to do it through panjo :(
  13. Not today, but Monday. Drove 410 miles from Basingstoke to Cumbernauld & Glasgow. Didn't miss a beat :)
  14. Looks wise, halogen on the left of the pic, LED on the right [ATTACH]81793[/ATTACH] All done [ATTACH]81794[/ATTACH]
  15. light output seems pretty good from the quick run out in the dark. I need to do a quick alignment to bring them up slightly. Cost wise, £32 including postage, so worth a punt. They do just fit inside with standard internals and enclosure.
  16. Changed the halogen Night breaker headlamp H4 bulbs to LED bulbs, and swapped out the sidelight bulbs to match. Look great and perform very well, so quite impressed with these LED headlamp bulbs. Just remains to be seen how they are for reliability.
  17. Definitely worth checking the lambda, my emissions problems were fixed by a new one the year before last.
  18. What does the clip do? My fuse box is a b4st4rd to get to stay in place, that looks like a locking clip or something, which I don't recall seeing on mine :(
  19. My advice re: keeping or selling, is sell. If you don't want to spend more, then don't. It is easy to get caught up in the Corrado forum enthusiasm to stick with it no matter what, but if it isn't what you want to do anymore, it is better to call it a day IMO. I'd also say, that if you plan to go for another one some time down the road, I wouldn't unless you teach yourself to be a spanner monkey. The 270 you are about to spend on brake pipes and fluid, is about £20 in parts, maybe £50 outlay initially on tools, so a DIY job for a quarter of the price. I spent a weekend doing all mine a few weeks back, not a totally fun weekend, but very satisfying once finished. I've always worked on the principle that if it costs more for parts and most importantly tools, than getting a garage to do it, then get them to do it. If not, it's a DIY job and everyone is a winner, especially the bank balance. If you've got equally minded mates near by, it gets even easier/cheaper when you can pool resources and tools.
  20. Just posted at the same time, see above :)
  21. Sounds like you have the old style connectors. You can buy a conversion cable to fit a new ODB connector. [ATTACH=CONFIG]81716[/ATTACH]
