Callum-VR6

Yeah had a read about doing that. Is there any major modification to the mounting needed to do it?

Cheers for the reply's! :thumbleft: Yeah mine has 140,000 on the clock, seems to be running fine though. Looks like it is wanting a new rocker box gasket soon. Another fault that it has generated is that the low water level light has started flashing as soon as I turn it on even though there is plenty of water in the expansion tank. Going to replace the expansion tank and give the whole system a good bleed in case its an airlock that is expanding, will make sure that valve is not seized as well when I do.

Looking for a little help... Just had the VR in the garage with what I thought was a head gasket problem as it was losing water from somewhere I couldnt find and there was some creamy gunk under the oil filler cap. Got it back and was told that the cylinder head was fine as it was not giving any tell tail signs "oil in coolant or coolant in oil" and that they had repaired a small leak from the hose at the bottom of the radiator, pressure tested fine and lost no coolant whilst there. Told gunk was from some short runs that I do in it. Since running it I have found that the top radiator hose is going rock hard when car has been up to temperature, bottom rad hose is warm but no way near as hard. Also the expansion tank is gaining coolant and seems to be pressuring. Also appears to be getting warmer quicker than before but not overheating. Fans are cutting in at the right temperature, heater gets really hot really quickly and stays hot (hotter than before I think but hard to tell). Any ideas guys? The cooling system on my VR seems to be its achilles heel.

A local garage, think they have had a few Corrados in before mine. Seem to know there way around it anywho when its been in before. Was them that actually suggested I got one!

Planning on keeping her until it dies... Had it since January and still loving every second of the V6 roar! Yeah sounds best thing to do, will have a bit of a look at the top tensioner. Had a listen around the gearbox end of the engine and all sounds like its running smooth with no rattles. Since being a Corrado owner have a "car repair fund" that I pay into every month so have enough cash to do it. Getting a garage to do the work for me so was wondering if it was worthwhile whilst they were down there. Will have a look 1st though myself so not doing unnecessary work.

New to posting on the forum and have tried searching but cant find anything on the topic. Feels like my clutch is on its way out, is it worth while changing the timing chain as well? My VR has ticked over to 140,000 miles yesterday and I cannot find any history if it being done before. Whilst having the clutch done changing the engine mountings as there is a bit of seepage coming from the rear. Cheers in advance!
