DiamondTony 10 Posted June 19, 2013 Hi all, just joined the forum a few days ago, bought my first Rado on Friday!! It's a 16v 1.8, all electrics work and it's pretty quick. Had a fresh respray, and it's the only one I've seen in this colour! (SEAT Kiwi Green). I'll post some pics when I'm not at work! There are a few issues with the car - interior is tatty, sunroof leaks and the engine has idling problems. Also the heater doesn't work, only cold air blows out the vents... Hopefully with some assistance from you guys on here and with a little bit of elbow grease I can get these issues sorted :) Thanks in advance!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tonytiger 0 Posted June 19, 2013 Welcome to the forum! Kiwi Green sounds, er, different There's always plenty of help on here so I don't think those faults will pose too much of problem (other than the potential expense). Get some pics up as soon as you can. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 22, 2013 Tony - its not this rado is it? Was parked up in Crossgates around lunch time today. Though this looks more mint than Kiwi. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DiamondTony 10 Posted June 23, 2013 That is my Rado yeah Mass!! I parked it round the corner other day, but it leaks so is usually in the garage... I'll get some more pics up now. It is mint, but the colour is a SEAT colour called Kiwi Green - the MK1 Ibiza GTIs were in that colour. :) ---------- Post added at 8:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:58 PM ---------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VAG-hag 0 Posted June 24, 2013 Welcome mate, I like the colour :) Heater could be down to your matrix. Is it bypassed in the engine bay? (2 pipes that go through the firewall) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 24, 2013 I'd be up for this, prob not in the Corrado though :( can i still be invited? :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nrc 0 Posted June 24, 2013 I'd be up for this, prob not in the Corrado though :( can i still be invited? :D Sure, but the first round's on you Which days are preferable? Weekends, weekdays? Need a venue, too. Preferably somewhere with a decent (free) car park where we won't be getting in the way. A couple off the top of my head: Fox and Grapes on the A64 (Leeds Volkswagen Collective meet there) Burger King off junction 1 of the M621 (an American hot rod cruise used to meet there) Suggestions welcome!

Critical_Mass 10 Posted June 24, 2013 Haha... damn.... best bring the credit card :lol: Beeston B&Q retail park i gather you mean? - Please no fast food places. Fox and Grapes would be good, also DiamondTony was saying there's a meet at the steak joint in Garforth- on the roundabout used to be the Old George pub?

guildmage 11 Posted June 25, 2013 Fox and Grapes would get my vote and I also prefer weekends. But if others prefer weekdays I'll make do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonny777 0 Posted June 26, 2013 Ilkley would be a good choice.... no bias, obviously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevea 10 Posted June 26, 2013 Hi We would be interested in a meet around West Yorkshire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
