Aqvila 0 Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Hello All, So bought myself a rather conspicuous Corrado a little while ago thought it was about time to start a gallery! Here she is: And here is what she is hiding: Other notable upgrades are Quaife limited slip diff, KW V3's, 288mm brakes, Jetex 2.5" The list goes on... Mainly just been enjoying driving her she goes like the wind and has been very well put together, which the credit must go to a Mr Kev Bacon. Have raised her off the ground slightly as the roads are a bit to bumpy to be running so low around here I have a plan for her but its top secret!

Aqvila 0 Posted September 12, 2013 How long had the car been left for the battery to go flat? I put a big old Varta in just before selling it! Thought it looked relatively new, I had to keep it on the drive for two weeks while I sorted out my insurance issues + it hadnt done a good journey since I bought it. I shall be monitoring this thread :) Glad to have you along :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 13, 2013 Is it a bit like seeing your ex with a new bloke? She'll come back to me when the new man can't satisfy her in the same way I did ;) Be warned Mr Aqvila, she is a high maintenance mistress :D Thought it looked relatively new, I had to keep it on the drive for two weeks while I sorted out my insurance issues + it hadnt done a good journey since I bought it. Yeah 2 weeks would do it! It has a static current draw of 1 amp. It should be 0.1 amps. I never got round to pulling all the fuses to see which circuit is drawing the current but from reading related threads on it on here, it's likely to be the central locking relay box.

dragon green 5 Posted September 13, 2013 My money is the drains being caused by this ! I changed the window control unit,still had the problem.Take the earth lead off,put a multi-meter between battery post and earth lead,this will tell you how much drain you have.then start pulling fuses until drain stops Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picture is a little too blurry for me. Will be looking into the current draw and a few other things when I get my garage built, 1 amp is a lot! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
borachris 0 Posted September 13, 2013 Looks like the petrol flap release actuator thing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon green 5 Posted September 13, 2013 It's the central locking pump,there's one in each door ! Wullie on here found he had an electric "leak" and this was the culprit ! Armed with this information,I found my passenger door one was faulty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrahamU 6 Posted September 13, 2013 would not of thought of looking there, thought it was only vacuum operated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted September 13, 2013 ^^^ this. I still have an intermittent drain that I 'thought' I had found. Will look at the actuators, but as rado20vt mentions how would this be related to the power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will look at the actuators, but as rado20vt mentions how would this be related to the power? There's an electrical plug that goes to it.i haven't replaced my passenger one,just disconnected it.door still locks on central locking,with key/alarm etc ! If I unlock the passenger door with the key,only the passenger door unlocks.I have a spare,just haven't got round to replacing it,I'll post pics tomorrow and you will see what I mean Sorry for clogging your thread Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
