hi to all from sheff

[1xshaunx1 27]

just got my 3rd corrado, given myself a right kicking over the last 6/7 years for letting the last one go m---jdv.

my new purchase has got a few problems but nothing serious I think/hope, its blackberry full black leather vr6 70k miles. One problem was with electric mirrors but traced that to a faulty door switch, managed to prove it by stripping and cleaning internals, put it back togethertested the switch and they fired to life so ordered a new switch today. if everything fixes as easy as that im laughung also got me a new passat cup holder by ringing a dealer in ireland mad! I hadn't realised until friday just gone, that spairs are like hens teeth. The last time i owned a vr6 it was the cost of the spares that made my heart sink, now its like some sort of treasure search with a big bill at the end. Still it's great to be behind the wheel again of a propper car and ive got a cup holer this time.

take care all

Hi.

I'm Sheffield way.. though nearer Barnsley. There are quite a few of us up this way and very sociable we are too.

 

Hope to see you around some time.

And, if you wouldn't mind.. tell me, where do people find these low mileage VRs???

hi thanks for the hello's

the cup holder is an idea off an old thread, its an accessory for a pre 95 passat, I think. any way the VW part no. is 3A1862531 0C1 (the last three digits denote colour in this case OC1 is black). but like i say I had a bit of a job tracking one down, eventually finding one in northern Ireland, good luck.

 

I found my car in the auto trader but had to go to the tip of Cornwall to pick it up, 358miles there and the same back, just pleased it was worth the trip down there, it waqs on its third owner, he'd had it fifteen months and tidied the outside up a bit, but done nothing inside from what i could tell. He bought it off an old dear who'd had it from new on her 50th birthday but had registered it twice i think something to do with her blokes business. so I was told, but the paper work seemed in order and looking around the car it id have bought it with no paperwork it seemed that genuine. time will tell.
