    Olly,mine is an early vr and that has one touch up/down.So i assume they all have it?Could be wrong mind %-6 As for the intermittent window operation it could be the window regulator its self?One of my rear windows dose it but i aint looked into it yet

    Well i think i will try some lowered springs first,only about 40mm cos thats my cheapest option.Then if that dont stop my banging on the back i may well go for the coilovers Best start saving i think :@ Cheers for the ideas 8o)

    Its already got koni sports on there,but the last owner put standard springs back on it?But i aint convinced that the koni's are happy on them.Would the koni's be to short for standard springs?

    Hello everybody peeps Im looking to buy some lowered and uprated springs,and was wondering how low i should go?And what brands are good and not so good?.Any advice please.
  12. rikkirw
    I will probably change the lot anyway it all looks a bit old and it needs lowering 8o) cheers anyway.

    Have'nt looked at them i'll have a look,its both sides so could be.They are koni sports on standard springs could this be a problem?

    I have just had the motor out of mine about three weeks ago to replace a knackered chain guide,and that meant removing the gearbox as well to get to it.While it was out i replaced the head gasket and radiator.It took me about 4-5 days on and off not a solid 4-5 days .And the engine hoist cost 30 quid for a week.So a basic engine swap could be done in a day i guess?,providing all goes smoothly :? (It never dose for me ~ )

    As the subject header says i am getting a loud bang from the rear when going over bumps.I have'nt owned the car long and have never had sports suspension on a car so it might be normal?But i suspect the rear shocks have had it,can anyone tell me if this is normal or not?
