  1. Its yours if you want it Karl!
  2. I seem to remember a couple of people on here that has carried out the change from dizzy to coilpack, maybe do a search? Just did! http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?51828-VR6-Distributor-Engine-change-to-Coil-Pack-Type The top cover and rear cam needs swapped over. The coilpack engine has a cam sensor, and the magnet or whatever, is on the cam..
  3. To echo Coullstar. I went to Silverstone mid 80's. Standing at club corner - I just couldn't comprehend the speed the F1 cars took it at. It was a 90 degree bend and the cars were like on rails! The downforce kept them glued to the track, when they should have slid off.
  4. Nice one! http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/96-j ... s-1149721/
  5. The VR is excellent in the snow - the heavy lump over the front makes all the difference. The valver on the other hand was useless. Same size and make of tyres as VR (Kuhmos) - even at idle let the clutch out and the wheels would spin.
  6. The guy is a tool. rather than helping her - he just laughs and takes the footage. It is his house she hit - serves him right! Lessons learned, she won't do that again.

  8. I don't know if this is a pearoast but.. How not to tow a car out of the snow..
  9. I've had an intermittent problem with my VR throwing coolant out of the expansion tank. Sitting in traffic the temperature would rise to 110 on the gauge, normal running it would always sit around 70. I tried the usual, new expansion cap and seal. no effect. New expansion tank - again no effect. I hadn't heard the fans coming on, so checked them today. Bridging the wire ont he temperature sender plug at the radiator, the fans run fine. I couldn't remember hearing the Auxillary water pump. Stripped off the end engine cover and noticed the wires coming out of the electrical connector to the pump were bared. I checked the voltage at the connector and it was OK. Decided to replace the plug as I had a spare. Gave it a wee run and the temperatures are back to normal - just below 70 deg on the dial! I reckon the pump was not working, the temperature was high and it would spit the water out of the expansion tank. Also because it wasn't working, it was airlocking in the heater matrix. Again making the expansion tank bubble over. So - a simple fix for throwing water out of the expansion tank! I've ordered a replacement Rad switch (just in case) as I don't think that was working either.
  10. Nah - thats not a burnout - his heater matrix just blew... :lol: :lol: :lol:

  12. Yep, under Scottish law clamping is essentially extortion. I'm glad it is unlawful to do that up here :D :D :D
  13. Parking them on grass - they will rot like hell (well a lot faster than normal).
  14. Yes - must have popped in for a coffee or something. Trust me to miss the Google car!
