Picture of the wheels in purple that are for sale locally. Only thing that concerns me is the rears are 9.5 wide and may foul on the sliding door.

Decided I would change the perished vacuum hoses. While trying to remove the one from the n75 valve, the end snapped off. Now means I need a new n75 valve. I've zip tied a vacuum pipe over it kind of so I can still drive it fine. Just need to find out if it's a generic n75 from any vw or specific to my engine. Ffs.

Someone has managed to scrape into the back bumper of my van last night. The black marks are all down to the plastic so won't scrub off. It's the fact people can damage something then drive off thinking its ok. Yeah I'm sure it's just a van to people however it's my van, it had no marks on it yesterday afternoon ffs. People are cunts.

Looks like they scraped it, then driver backwards again and scraped it further along. Pretty sure it was when I was in the doctors as it can't happen at work or at the woman's house where I park. Typical really.

It's probably not that they have done it and driven off there probably so oblivious they won't notice the marks on their own car for another few weeks daft old bastards

Had I shut the rear door it would have been a much cooler photo. That's from Sunday's bike ride up skiddaw which is in the background. Well the start of it is.

I've tried a couple of the uprated looms on the corrado, Took them both off though as they don't seem a very reliable install. Some you just pull the VW plug off the headlight and shove and load of spade connectors on, no waterproofing etc.

Is yours a 2relay or 3relay one?

I'm going to make my own and mount everything inside the car rather than the bay and use OEM connectors.

Thanks for listening.

similar to what you say above although the wiring is quite high up anyway on a van and covered well.

2 relay one, just plugs in then wires up to battery. uses the original loom as the switching on/off etc.

no problems.

How many bhp do these add?

None.

Just found out using a 1998 2.4d down pipe is an easy way of a de cat as they're about 30 pounds to buy. Couple of bhp there!
