    perhaps there could be a club calendar made by the vr6 girlz and they could pose in the nud but having various parts of vr6's hiding their modesty in a cheeky way! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    It would probably look a bit better if it wasn't matte but there's a bit too much smoothing for my liking

    Shame, someone's either gone to a lot of effort or paid someone a fair bit for the work, but the result? Hmmm

    Private plates that mean nothing, as in you clearly cant see what it means. If the last 3 letters are your initials i dont know who you are and you cant see them in your car so who does that impress......some are good if you can see the meaning some are just gay and a waste of time

    daveyboy got a reaction from VR6Pete in pressurising out the header tank   
    I'm not sure Mate lol. The test is a bottle full of a blue liquid and it got like a bung thing in the top of it. You turn it upside down and the bung fits in the top of the header tank then the blue liquid turns a different colour to indicate that the gasket is goneSent from my LT26i using Tapatalk

    In between the rain,hail thunder and bits of sunshine today I've got the engine bay cleaned up a bit so it matches the rest of the car! Got rid of some of the cavity wax on the chassis legs, horrid stuff! Here's a before and after of the inner wing;
    Even cleaned and polished the inside of the bonnet;
    Did it by getting a bit brave with the jet wash,some thinners on the cavity wax,finished off with a bit of engine laquer, so now it's a bit closer to the finish of the rest of the car;
    The car got a bit wet for the first time much to my annoyance! But got a lovely bit of beading;

    you may already know it, but if anyone has any more info on the car would be much appreciated.. in a little bit of a sorry state at the moment but its gonna be rebuilt and be a show stopper hopefully.. 
     
    ive always wanted to go down the route of a raddo vr but never had the opportunity... then this little beauty popped up and i couldnt refuse it to be honest.. the potential is unreal and i will start a "rebuild thread" as soon as i pick it up (next weekend hopefully)..
     
    ive found a build thread on it on the edition 38 forum which is pretty cool but as i say if any of the previous owners are on here to shed a bit of light that would be sweet...

    Got the VR home this weekend,drives really well,just a slight knocking from the rear,so I might play with removing the helper springs and change the top mounts, was very pleased as the standard front wheels rubbed when I first fitted the coilovers which doesn't happen now:)
    I spent most of Sunday cleaning the interior, you can imagine what it was like after all of the work the cars had done,so after hours of hoovering,scrubbing and plastic cleaning products it looked like this;
    Going to keep a look out for an oe recaro interior as I'm not a fan of leather. Really want the car to look like it all came from the factory like it,so I preferably want an interior with red recaro badges and rear head rests,gutted as I missed one that went for £127 the other day on eBay:(
    A mate has got some high line door cards laying around which I want for the pockets and puddle lights. Also might change the steering wheel for a mk3.5 one.
    Then went down to halfords and baffled myself with the ridiculous amount of 'products' and just wanted a decent wax to protect the paint I've spent so long flatting and polishing,anyway got bored and bought this farecla stuff as farecla is based in ware so I thought I'd support a local company! Anyway it works well and the car now has a really deep glossy shine after a couple of coats. Though the pictures do it no justice at all, I need someone to take some proper pictures with a proper camera, not an iPhone lol! It just looks orange all the time! Also got a car cover whilst in halfords so the car is tucked up on the drive now;
    If the cover scratches it there will be a grown man crying here! Want to get the engine bay cleaned up soon ready for a few shows this year I hope!

    My central locking pump has been sounding like it was slowly dying a death for quite some time now. It would moan and groan on every time I would unlock the car, only unlocking, locking was fine. I checked over the full system looking for leaks and found none, all was good so checked the pump itself.
     
    With my finger over the outlet the pump would still run on and on, so the pump itself wasnt making a good seal somewhere. Took it to bits and there are 4 little pieces of plastic or carbon or whatever that sit in grooves inside the centre of the pump, which the chamber is egg shaped and these pieces are flung out centrifugally. They werent dead flat to the outside surface!
     
    Some fine tuning of these mating surfaces later they all now are matched to the surface they touch when the pump is spinning, the pump activates with a good powerful sound, not a slow groan, and as soon as the doors are locked/unlocked shuts off immediately now.
     
    So to anyone that has a similar problem and the culprit isnt in the vac pipes this could be worth a go at a free fix.
     
    I checked with a view to replacing at first and their current price is £265 from VW!!! My fix was free!!! Yay
