    have just fitted a new 02 sensor but when i connected the wires i noticed 2 wires 1 yellow 1 white unattatched coming out of the socket i plugged my new 02 connector into...next to this there is another socket with 3 unnatatched wires coming out theses are black grey and blue,any ideas where theses conect ??....having fitted the new sensor the reading is still 6.3 !! so im assuming the cat is knackered....im desperate to get it the the emmisions test...carl

    hi,im still having the problem,im going to try cover the coil on the bulkhead as the plastic scuttle at the bottom of the windscreen is cracked so my thinking being rain is running down the screen under the platic scuttle and onto the coil...i will keep you infomed it this solves the problem

    hi i was talkig to a guy at work who used to own a vr6 and suffered the same probs...its apparently the plug on cyl 6 getting wet,he says start engine and let it run for a few mins turn off and restart after 10 mins and all should be fine,hope this works and is of some help to someone else

    hi guys ive just ordered my shocks/springs which are 40mm lower,can i run bigger than 15 inch wheels with the 40mm drop ? for now im just going to get new tyres,should i stick with the 205 55 15 or opt for some 205 50 15,cheers,carl

    hi can anybody tell me the location and how to clean the crankcase and any other breather pipes etc on the engine,cheers,carl
  19. carl7777
    about a month ago let out a couple of puffs of smoke under acceleration and did the same yesterday but puff of smoke was bigger,ive driven about 170 miles today with not even a hint of smoke,this seems very random...could this be a blocked breather allowing pressure to build and oil blow past the rings ?....ive just had a look at the pipe which connects the cam cover to the ilnlet boot i was very oily inside,from what i could see the copper wire mesh wasnt in he best condition...am i on the right track ?...cheers,carl

  21. carl7777

  22. carl7777
    hi guys,been to work and back about a 40 mile round trip on twisty roads up and down hill lots of accelerating braking etc etc but didnt have any smoke at all
  23. carl7777
    would that cause it to blow smoke occasionaly ?
  24. carl7777
    im going to install a new set on saturday and carefully monitor them and oil consumption
  25. carl7777
    milage is 145,000,if its the stem seals i could live with that for a while especially if it doesnt happen everytime i accelerate
