biggrim, re the post 130406.That was me in the BLACK :wink: VR6 at the lights.Good looking machine you got there mate!!!

My C was Cat D Oct 03 after a rear shunt.The repair carried out was first class and although initially i thought of getting rid i held onto her and am so glad i did.Am thinking of selling her now though and would have no qualms of declaring the Cat D as the repair has no adverse bearing at all on the car.As said earlier due to high VAG replacement parts Cs are easily made Cat Ds.Moral being good repair=no issues.As PhatVr6 says at least with a Cat D declaration you know whats been done.

Cheers Neil.Will give it a look mate.

Help if possible folks. Got a sigma cat 2 alarm/immob on C and recently the drivers door lock has stopped working from remote fob.All other locks engage from the fob and central locking still employs when drivers door locked with key.Any suggestions to remedy???? :roll: Thanks

Started with my old man in the 70S(bear with me!!!!).He had been a Cortina man all his days and then came home one day clutching the brochure for the new VW Scirroco.Loved it.Unfortunately or not he fired another direct hit and with another family member on the way the S wasnt practical so it didnt happen.I always liked the c but by the time i came to start looking there were some really tired ones and the C was about.Not much of a contest really so waited and waited and eventually got my black, leathered up VR6 which i still think is the best car ive ever driven until this weekend when i drove a 225 TT.So my beloved C will soon be going,but no regrets whatsoever.A truly brilliant piece of kit!

Could have been me mate in the black C in Mount Florida.Happy driving!!

A favour lads and lassies.For the second time in as many weeks some twat has removed my indicatots and grill from my C.Should anyone have any knowledge of any w***** recently selling such bits or doing up a C please send me a private message and i will take it from there.Thanks folks.

That was me biggrim.Shes a black VR as you may have noticed with indicators and grill removed by some w*** for the second time in 2 weeks.Looked like a nice set of wheels you had mate.

Cheers mate.Got my eye on a few.

I have no doubt that they will get theirs............things have a funny way of sorting themselves out. :batman:

Considering an all night vigil wearing my balaclava and nursing a baseball bat L4PRG.

Well,woke up this morning to discover that some c@@t had decided to relieve my VR6 of the front grill and both front indicator housings.Fotunately can source replacements from Europarts but just wish the F****r had done same.I hope he/she next craps a porcupine and they have a slow painful ,lingering death.......Ahh fell better now.C@@T

Good god! Havent been on the forum for 7/8 weeks and was considering selling the VR6.What the bloody hell has happened to the value of the C? :roll: Is it a dip in the second hand market in general or is the C losing its appeal. :cry: Well might just sit tight and hold onto her and see what happens.Anyone out there test driven the new ST yet???? Happy New Year to all forum members.

Orangepeel,might be a money pit but looked mighty fine for all that. You buy it in Renfrew/Johnstone? as i looked at one bout 3 years ago.Nugget yellow=hens teeth.

Nugget yellow C in Mill Street,Paisley about 830pm.Nice wee wave from the bloke driving.Nice one!!!!!!!

777 days,but whose counting.........

Cheers dinkus.

Speaking of video links anyone got the TG(think) piece with the wee Richardson guy on future classics with the C vr6 and Merc 190 cossie?Think it was shown maybe 2 series ago.Would be nice to sit and gloat over it!!!!Any who havent seen would do well to watch.

Top Gear tonight????? Another reason to move to Scotland as up here top Gear is being replaced by womens shinty zzzzzzzzzzzzz.............

Cheers mate.Yip switch still works ok.Will drop yer man a line.

Assistance required.The Sigma M series alarm/immobiliser on the C is no longer locking the drivers door from the remote.Just stopped working 2 days ago?! Rather than getting fleeced by some autoelectrician type anyone out there with any ideas what could be up? It still operates fine with the key but its a pain in the a***!

J519 ??? silver C Glasgow Road,Paisley 2pm today.Any takers.Looked a good un.By the time i got into the VR6 and onto the road would have had to have run over the wee truanting B******* to catch up.Now on reflection........

Thanks again folks.Took the C out for a wee drive and came back asking myself why the hell im considering parting but hey!!! If i do sell her ,no worries Jim, the forum would be first port of call.Just for info though my C had a rear end shunt Oct 2003 (6 days after i got her and was off the road for a month as the repairer(Arnold Clark) had trouble sourcing a rear bumper.Admittedly they did an excellent job and there is no detrimental effect to the car.She only has a part SH as the previous company owners lost the service book but all MOTs are available and bear out the mileage 69524 as we speak.She currently sits on 17" TT alloys but the original 15" Speedlines have been kept:) If she goes believe me the new owner will not be disappointed.

Got it cheers mate.Unfortunately need to sell the C first.Noticed the ebayers are undercutting the forecourts on average 1.5/2k! The checks you can do take away most of the risk as well.Thanks again mate.

appreciate ur comments so far.The S3 im looking to spend around 12/13k max so no comparison being made Samm,just checking to see if the money difference is made up for in a better car.Anyone hears of an S3 going for this amount or less please keep me in mind!
