  1. two weeks ago i was moaning that i never see any C's in the bristol area, but in the last three days ive seen 5! all different models, colours

     

    last one was a burgundy (dont know model :( ) late style in willsbridge again. driver waved, but are you on here? doubt it lol

     

     

    Was one a K reg red VR6 by any chance?

    I am aware of about 5 or 6 in the clifton area.


  2. In fairness the bulk of it was £500 for a whole new exhaust which I knew needed replacing when I bought it.

     

    My justification is that the C shouldn't really depreciate and therefore costly maintenence is easier to swallow. The ZR managed to lose about 3k in the first year and 2k in the second year.

     

    That is what I tell the missus anyway. :lol:


  3. I have had my VR6 (90K miles) for nearly 6 months now and so far I have spent nearly £800 (excluding servicing) on fixing things :shock: .

     

    What do people generally spend over the course of the year? Hopefully I have just had a bad few months!

     

    PS for the 2 years before c ownership I was wrapped in cotton wool a bit. My brand new MG ZR despite being a terrible car cost me a grand total of £350 for 2 services, oh and a bottle of anti-freeze.


  4. My blowers previously only worked on level 4. fixed that by replacing the resistor pack. Now I have the option of using 1-3 I can't because of the noise coming from the fan. Can someone describe how best to remove the offending item. I haven't really investigated yet and I want to see if I can shut it up.

    cheers.


  5. Morning.

    I have an intermittent tapping sound coming from the engine of my '92 VR6. Seems to be coming from the front drivers side somewhere near the alternator. I replaced the worn water pump last week thinking this was the source of the noise as it was also leaking fluid. Noise continues though. However, it is not all the time. Seems to start after driving the car quite hard for a few minutes, and also goes away after a little while so not sure id it is anything to do with the temperature of the engine. On a gentle 25 minute drive to work rarely exceeding 2000 rpm it sounds fine.

     

    Sound is regular and in time with the engine. It gives the engine a mildly diesel-esque sound.

     

    Garage didn't notice anything when changing the pump, or when fitting a new exhaust and correcting a mis-fire a few weeks before.

     

    Anyone any ideas?

    Thanks
