Really want the car back on the road, would consider buying whole engines depending on price/location.

Gloucester. Thanks.

fantastic, how much would you want for the internals or how much for the whole block?

HI, I'm after a intermediate shaft and oil pump drive cog and oil pump drive shaft as per this picture many thanks Dave

long story short, the bottom timing chain snapped on my engine so I am rebuilding it. I am at a stage where I want to fit the new chains. However unlike in all the guides when people remove the intermediate shaft bolt by locking the flywheel with the existing chain attached I don't have this option. Any ideas how to lock the sprocket in place so I can undo it - It's rated at 100NM so it's going to be on tight!!? So far I tried wrapping the old top chain around and locking the cams but without the top tensioner system in place the chain is too slack. only other ideas I have at the moment

since having my corrado resprayed i have become more paranoid than ever. I find the thing that annoys me most is that i go out of my way to park in the quietest areas of a car park, i park as near to the curb as possible and yet in barely 2 months i have acquired 3 dents in my drivers door and a scuff on the front wing :-( The sad thing is people think its strange that i care so much for a metal object, no, i care for MY property and expect others to show some respect.

just in case you havent already thought of this but id be keeping an eye out for any new or crash damaged Mk3s in your area as its highly lightly someone has had a lil bump or has just purchased a mk3 and wanted your parts! if you find the mk3 and the bastard, just remember it wasnt the cars fault its owner is a shite so dont be going excerting revenge on the car! dave

now that is funny especially the two guys on deck chairs thinking WTF i felt the need to check on my old house and sure enough the pic from circa 2000 shows 2 mk2s, 1 mk2 rocco in my front garden - lucky for me my mum would never check as i was meant to be looking after the house for 6 months not filling the garden with cars.

yes i have the original VR6 brouchure in a PDF, may even have the highline but you can download that from Volkswizard website www.volkswizard.co.uk/brochures/golfvr6highlinebrochure.htm if you pm your email address i can send the standard brochure to you.

16v Final Drive. having shorter gearing so you can actually make use of the VR power . Problem with stock VR6 on track is the number of corner where you will have to drop down to 2nd where as the clio will be able to blaze through in 3rd. Dave

original paint ? Well feck me if it is that is like a mirror finish!

you make these conversions look like a right giggle!! apart from tea an biscuits what do you guys run on - looks like you make dam good progress. dave

come on people. One less Corrado VR and no doubt one brand new Kia on the road to replace it. Its for the good of the earth because everyone knows that a 15year old car capable of 25mpg is going to kill the planet where as building a new car taht can do 30mpg using raw materials, shipping it all around the world and delivering it to a forecourt has NO environmental impact whatsoever.
