Blondie1 0 Posted May 3, 2013 Hey Im Laura from Birmingham :) Not exactly new on here but not been on for several years so thought I'd repost in here :) I have owned 3 corrados, but had to get rid of my last one as I couldnt afford to run her. Currently have an MG ZR :( and have finally thought sod it I can't live without a Corrado, even if it means cutting back on a few things lol. So atm I am looking for 1.8 or 2ltr one if anyone knows of any. Budget is around £1700 Cheers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2013 its all about taking your time. i know it is with any car but these vary so much now its unreal..... at least if you had one before you know the weak points & pricey parts :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR-Sixy 0 Posted May 3, 2013 May the 4th be with you!! OK, so it's only the 3rd, but it's the though that counts!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie1 0 Posted May 3, 2013 lol Cheers. And yeh my first rado was mint, had no problems, unfortunately got written off when someone pulled out in front of me :(. 2nd and 3rd had running issues which i think was due to being de-catted tbh. When i took the de-catted exhaust off my blue rado and put it on my last rado, the blue one seemed more responsive and the burgundy one started having the same problems as the blue :S I dont have much luck when it comes to cars lol. Wont be de-catting the next one thats for sure! lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted May 3, 2013 not sure how the de-catting messed things up unless the lambda got knocked during the swap. ah well like you say if it aint broke dont fix it, they run fine with them on :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
