Lol,your ornamental corrado.
I have one of those too.

Yeah, but you have another too....

nah,not no more.Two corrados is like having two women.
Yes you have a choice of rides but it leaves you confused about which one you prefer and ultimately broke.

Indeed. I'm actually really starting to like the Golf VR. People who say they don't handle, are talking poop. that big heavy lump up front helps to keep you on the straight and narrow.

That said, I'm not breaking Gooney

They do handle if you dial in the Corrado's geometry settings and lower them, plus the obligatory fat rear ARB and rear turret brace of course

That's two more things to add to the list then.....

Turns out that a Bosch battery for Gooney is only £35 from ECP. Might pop up there tomorrow

so......

what'cha doing?
You running with the mondeo ecu?
I see your flogging the squirt.

Well, if I sell the squirt, I can get everything I need to run the G400 ECU asap, rather than having to wait and wait Endorsed by work too....oh and my good lady wife

Got my battery with me today, so shall be sticking that on our super-dooper charger we have down at the garage this afternoon.

Ordering a tyre on Monday (get paid), and need to book the MOT for next week

i'm after a spare to toy with but I want an ms2 daughter board.
Well hurry up and get it on the road.

I know, I know

He has insurance, so currently I'm wasting money, so I better get my ass into gear!

Spare tyre is a dud; bulge-tastic, so two tyres it is. Will order them Monday.

Tried charging the battery last night with a little Sealey charger I borrowed from work. Seemed to take a little bit of charge managed to turn the engine over very slowly, but nowhere near enough. Will leave it on charge overnight again.

Off to work for the afternoon Will get on the case with refitting the rooflining and bleed the brakes tomorrow.

Never got round to doing the brakes and roof lining....too much weather

Tyres arrived this morning, battery tomorrow, and getting the tyres fitted on Friday

New Bosch battery bought. £38.72 including the vodka

Got the tyres fitted on Friday. Noticed that the 'spare' Sebring was a little square, thought it would be OK, but checked today and it's not sealing properly....down to 5psi

Bled the back calipers, and pedal improved, but was having a right game with my Eezi-bleed. Going to inlist Carleena's help tomorrow evening I think.

Oh, and drove it up and down the road a few times tonight....first drive ever

Good. Little steps and all that.

Shame about the wheel. Have you got a spare?

That was the spare that I had a new tyre fitted to, as the tyre that was on it when pumped up, was all bobbly around the inner side wall! The N/S front I was going to use as the spare, as it's in pretty good nick, changing both fronts at the same time and all that

Baby steps indeed

Cool. I might have a half decent, or at least round sebring if you need one.

That might be a good plan, cheers dude

whats up with the e bleed?

Can't seem to get the pressure in the system. It's either too low or too high and starts leaking
