That one crops up on ebay periodically....

There is one I think up to it's sills in mud in a Manchester dealer too

Any idea which Dealer ??

im now also a proud owner of a cordy all iv done so far is put a janspeed exhaust system on her but i want to do so much more any ideas were i can get some headlights and taillights for her

Yeah!
12 months MOT in the bag!
All I have to do now is sort out the long list of niggles and i may start to feel like im getting there!

I wasn't lucky when I had my MOT it failed on a bearing, ball joint, n/s rear caliper had no servo and it needed a new lambda. Least I got me vmaxx coilovers fitted it just needs an alignment.

my had an advisory for a rear bearing but at under a fiver a side and 30 minutes tinkering, il be doing both this week anyway.
Mine hadnt been used for a while before i bought it and was also advised that one of the rear calipers was grabbing quicker than the other causing slight imbalance, all im going to do is strip them down and lube up the sliders as the pads and discs are pretty new, job done.
Ive seen lambda probes on ebay for under £20 so depending on what one you need, may be a cheap fix. Ball joints can be a ballache but just soak in WD40.

Do yourself a favour and grab a set of GolfMk4 or Leon Cupra rear callipers and put those on instead. You just need some Goodridge hoses but otherwise they're a straight swap and you wont have them seize again

Guess what I just found on a certain auction site.... yep my old Cordy, looks like it needs some work, thinking about it though.

Think I spotted it on there at lunchtime to..... didn't pay too much attention to it, as I'm not too keen on the yellow/red colour scheme !

Ive seen that crop up a few times on ebay now, not keen on the colours myself, the back of the one ebay has a black panel, but on your pics ovv rear looks red??

Its on ebay at the mo going for spares/repair. Failed its MOT on £500 worth of labour according to the ad

Im not keen on the colour scheme either, I dont know what the hell I was thinking when I 1st bought it, think I was won over by the performance to be honest.

Think the black panel must have been resprayed or replaced at some point Im guessing, plus someones stuck a whale tale on the rear... not pretty.

Have the list of failures and currently pricing the parts, even got me a ex VW technician who is willing to do the bits Im not keen on doing.

Very tempting, respray would be required as Im keen to restore it back to the original condition, so no large bumpers/sideskirts or whalestale. Track hack perhaps ??

Go for it mate, take off the stick on tatt and sell it to a chav.
Chances are it wouldve needed some paint anyway if its anything like mine.
Will rat-look be replaced by laquer peel look next show season?
Il clean up!

right then,

Who has a spare front cordy bumper and some original sideskirts that they would like to exchange for a few beer tokens ?

Seriously though, am I just going down memory lane for memory lanes sake ? I dunno

Any issues with making this fit?
Id like to replace mine soon and this may prove cheaper than having one made in s/steel.
