Hey Tom. Do you still have the rear numberplate mounting / lock surround? Cheers, Ben

Hey all, I'm thinking the time has come to sell the VR. I've had it a loooong time, and experienced all it could possibly have thrown at me (I think, but who knows at this point). I've been a bit lazy with the upkeep the last couple of years, as I was driving it less and less. There's a fair bit of work required to bring her back to former glories, which at this point seems like it might be a huge wedge of wasted time & money if there's any value or chance of selling as a project car without the outlay from me. So, my question is really whether anybody had advice or experience on this conundrum, and if so how I'd go about assessing a value for something this hard to pinpoint? Cheers in advance, Ben.

I think it's one of the original ones, years ago

Yup

Hey guys, Wonder if anyone has any ideas on the following, suggestions welcome. The full beams aren't working. The dipped beams work fine, as do the side-lights. I've replaced all the bulbs, no difference. I've replaced the indicator/headlight stalk, no difference. I've checked the fuses in the panel, and all appear to be in-tact. Confused. Cheers, Ben

Haha, yep that still happens to me too. The last time something hit my leg it was hot water, seconds before the heater matrix blew and flooded the cabin with steam. 90mph on the A3. Luckily there wasn't a sole on the roads so I could pull over. OK, cheers guys! Weird, as you'd think if you're not adjusting the wheel height, why would it ping off!? Corrados. Oh dear.

Afternoon chaps. I was parking up yesterday and heard a 'ping', something hit my leg. Once stopped I had a look and the spring & mount shown in the picture below had come loose. Does anyone know what they're from? I'd assumed it was related to the clutch pedal, but that's still working (as are the other pedals). Strange. Cheers, Ben

Nope, not that. On the part of the door/card that would be next to lock/hook on the side of the door, there are two flat pins on the outside of the door-frame. These connect to two righ angled brackets inside the door and help it remain stuck to the door?

Do you still have the mounting brackets/pins for these? (not the plain brackets the combo pin/brackets that goon the lock side (vertical) of the door cards?

Hey. have you got any of the following? - Rear numberplate plinth. - Right angled pin bracket used to hold the door cards onto the doors. - ABS Dash light

In terms of damage, the driver's door (window frame) has been bent out where they tried to break in (and failed), as the seals no longer make proper contact when closed. I've taken photos for evidence. The Estate Agent, Solicitor & Auctioneer all knew what they were doing was wrong... 1. The auctioneer guy I spoke to when collecting the car said he'd remarked in an email to the solicitors 'this is one fast old lady'. 2. An email I've been fwd'd between Estate Agent & Solicitor shows they were confused as to why there was a car in the garage, and no keys. Knowing that they all knew something was odd, and that they didn't conduct any kind of check, with anyone, is damning.

Thanks Mic, very useful :)

Do you still have the black plastic numberplate mount / lock surround from the rear window/door?

It's ridiculous. The Police have now closed the case (was it ever open?!) because they say it was a genuine mistake. Hmmmm. It was simple greed on the part of the Council & Solicitors (the old lady's in care, and they're selling her flat & possessions to fund it). Anyway, on with the legal proceedings, which I'm sure will be fun!

Hey Guys, interested in getting hold of the panel from the rear door/window that the number plate sits on, and which surrounds the key/lock column. It's for a late model VR6, if it makes a difference.... Cheers, Ben

I have the car back! Really long story, but basically it was stolen by solicitors looking to auction the estate of an elderly resident of the flats I live at. I park there with her/the board's permission, but they couldn't be rimmed to bother with any kind of checks or to apply any common sense (just why does this 90yr old woman own a rare modified sports car? And why aren't there any keys in her flat?...na, forget it) - so they cut the handbrake cable and took it. Next stop, small claims court. Anyway, it's back. Thanks for the messages guys, always nice to see there are other nice people out there, somewhere. ;)

11am from the garages at my flat. He was making pleasantries with the neighbours. None of them said anything cause the car had to be recovered from home a few months ago.

*wheels are different to those in the avatar pic.

Hey guys, Just a note to say that my 96 blackberry VR6 was stolen today from my garage in Surrey, via a low-loader. Reg: N6 VVW. Details: Lowered, anthracite team dynamics pro-race multispoke alloys, tinted windows, 'ring sticker & Corrado forum sticker (rear) If anyone sees it, or anyone suspicious selling parts of a blackberry vr, then I'd be keen to pass the information on to the authorities. Slim chance I suppose... Cheers, Ben
