my 1993 vr6 has been written off. a lovely lady in a range rover sport rammed into my passenger side as she reversed out of a parking space. damage consists of gouge along front and rear passenger doors. costs more to fix than car value, according to insurer. salvage of vehicle will cost £300, i will recieve £1200 from insurer (total value £1500). SHould i salvage or let her go? not in mint condition, done 130k miles, advice please ! Moderator edit by: SankysVR6

When I release handbrake the passenger side rear calliper is locked on. The only way to release it was wd40 and a hammer! Once released I can drive about and use the brake pedal without the caliper locking. It appears the problem is the bolt which holds the handbrake cable mechanism onto the caliper, this seems to be really stiff. Do i need to replace the calliper or can i just replace the handbrake mechanism attachment on the calliper? anyone else had this fekin problem? i'm havin to leave the car in gear instead of using the 'kin handbrake. HELP!!!

The temp gauge for engine coolant (on the instrument cluster, left hand side) is dead. Replaced the two switches found on the thermo housing - one of them was the engine coolant temperature sensor, the other was the thermo sender for ECU. Replacing these items hasn't solved the problem. The only other 2 things I can figure out are either the thermostat is knacked or the actual gauge on the instrument panel is knacked. The car drives fine, engine oil temp sits at 90 degrees most of the time, no leaks either and the heating works perfectly. Any ideas? Anyone else had this problem? thanks
