    So I have a rear beam press setup ready to go (using pitman puller method from the net) but I'm not sure on you align the "ears"97d7079be08176e3271465d9b65d16bb.jpg of the bush up with the rear axle. Anyone know and care to explain.

     

    Note reason title says two different angles is because if seen two different angles mentioned is separate posts

     

    EDIT: I am (now) aware that the bushes are positioned the wrong side on the attached photo

    Yeah I think that is my concern. It would be pretty gutting if it was nicked and then to add salt to a gaping wound I was then offered £1500 for it on the basis of some ridiculous AVG market price working in the interest of the insurers...

    So values seem to be quite buoyant at the moment and it is making me think I should put some kind of agreed value on the corrado insurance. It's estimated value on the insurance from when I originally set it up is currently £3.5k but it is not an agreed value.

     

    Any advice on what I should be trying to set it at as there seems to be such a range of asking prices out there at the moment - especially on Storms

     

    It is a green Storm with 129000 on clock. 2 owners (I bought it from a gentleman that had purchased it from new from listers Volkswagen)

     

    It is in very good condition, paint work and interior very good/excellent, timings chains not done to date but they are still quiet and it runs flawlessly when I actually get to use it. Full service history with all receipts etc either VW or specialist. This has tailed off over the last few years - I have had a number of Corrado's and I am quite competent of doing general maintenance myself - oil changes etc (And to be honest I trust myself more that the local mechanic to apply what I feel is the appropriate time and care on the easy stuff), it is currently probably doing less that 2k miles a year.

     

    I also have original receipt of sale from VW (stating Storm)

     

    Thoughts?

    have you got a link for the £80 pair - can't seem to find this deal?

     

    Hello,

     

    My inner CV joints are a little worn. As everything else is brand new seems stupid not to change them.

    Can get Meyle inner CV joints, Meyle are normally very good, it's already had new outer CV's recently.

     

    On trawling Ebay there's a company called J and R offering whole drive shafts, both CV's, for 80 quid the pair. Say there forged steel and many testimonials from race car owners and other singing praises.

     

    Anybody heard of them, used them? Can they be any good at that price? 2 year warranty.

     

    Try them or just renew inners on current VW driveshafts?

    Pretty good if I remember bought it from and old forum member "Walesy" years and years ago. IIRC it's blackberry, few scratches through to metal from the journey back but no dents or rust. Think it is in the rafters of the garage.
