Wilko13 2 Posted June 19, 2022 Cheers guys a lot of hard work paid off. It’s funny as many people say corrados never seem to win awards so there is now hope for all us owners lol I have to say the whole trip was around 500 miles and she never missed a beat. It may be on 242k but I can honestly say it drove better than my daily Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilko13 2 Posted July 9, 2022 Got a couple of bits done today fitted my uprated headlight loom and fitted some vdo gauges, they don’t fit great but will sort it out over time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wilko13 2 Posted September 16, 2022 Unfortunately not been able to do much with the corrado as gearbox has decided to leak it’s oil but few weeks ago change the bonnet lining to a dreadnoughts one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oneohtwo 8 Posted September 19, 2022 That's a really nice, neat job. Something I really need to do. Every time I open the bonnet the old stuff is shedding itself all over the engine. What did you use to remove the glue of the old stuff? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wilko13 2 Posted June 9, 2023 Not posted on here for a long time. Unfortunately the car has been at the workshop since November with a suspected gearbox issue. Me being me I told my mechanic I wasn’t to bothered about how long it took him to look at it. We’ll roll on 6 months and he finally got round to it (can’t complain about the free storage). Turns out the box is absolutely fine and the leak appears to be because there was far to much oil in the box and because I have given it a thrashing that day as you do it decided to release some of it. Any way it’s all been cleaned up oil breather pipe rerouted to rear of sump this is because the charger is blanked off, fitted a new oil pressure sensor as that was leaking slightly and got a nice clean mot again this year. The mot tester couldn’t believe it has 245k miles as it’s so tidy which is good to hear, he also asked to test drive it for a laugh and he commented on how well the engine is for that mileage and that it’s better than some cars that he tests that are only 3-4 years old.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
