veedubjay 2 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 So after a head gasket change, new thermostat and new radiator fan the car is back on the road thanks to Tony Walters. I also changed the crank sensor today and it seems to have solved the starting up issue, so its happy days for now. Ickyketseddie 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Blinding, glad the vr is up and running again. If you don't mind sharing, what was the cost for the HG work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
veedubjay 2 Posted March 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Finally get to enjoy the car now!Head gasket change cost me £750 all in. Bare in mind that includes travel costs etc as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Oh right, that's not too dreadful. Is tony the fella that's often recommended on here by others? As you say, at least the vr is all up and running again. Enjoy! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

Bealieboy 1,625 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks Pete, he sounds like a handy fella to know. I don't need any work done currently but he will be top of my list when I do. Where's he based? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

veedubjay 2 Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 For what its worth, thought id report that the VR has been used daily and its not missed a beat up (hope i have not cursed it now!). Probably get it serviced soon though. Other than that...happy days. Link to post Share on other sites
