dingo 0 Posted June 13, 2011 Hello corrado forum - I've spent far too much time reading here not to introduce myself already! I'm a fairly young one at 19 years old but have always loved these cars, such that after much research and deliberation I finally bought myself a corrado :) the 'corrado buying guide' and everything else on here was very helpful, so thanks for that! I'm a welshman from sunny south wales, and am currently studying at the university of birmingham but still have plenty of time for my car ;) now the good stuff, recently bought a tidy 1.8 16v which seems to be solid mechanically (at the moment) and it's just flown through an MOT. insurance is a bitch, yes, but worth it? definitly. it's by no means a fast car, but nonetheless i can't stop smiling. It's a 1990 car in metallic quarts and running on audi RS4 replica alloys, and of course has a black leather interior. Also a tad lowered by a previous owner, which makes speed bumps interesting. I may try adding some pictures if I can work it out/if it ever stops raining here (not likely) one thing that's confusing me a little is despite whatever setting i choose on the fan, it blows air out from everywhere? Additionally, my driver's side seat belt buckle casing is broken and so is currently wrapped in duct tape.. anyone know where it may be possible to get a replacement?

Kempy 0 Posted June 13, 2011 hello mate your bowden cables on your heater may be loose or come off if you cant choose where the fan blows, these are the cables that open/close the flaps that channel the airflow. Check people's 'breaking cars' for the buckle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
