BristolVR6

thanks for the replies, I'll give them a try. What does HTH mean?! I live in Cotham (there's a few round here) Classic Green 96 VR. Thanks PS give Martin Saunders a call at Ultimate Cars in Ciren - he's a VAG specialist and always done a good job.. 01285 655994

Does anyone here know any good VW servicing specialists in Bristol? I usually take my VR to Ultimate cars in Cirencester but it's a bit far to go.... Was thinking of trying VW Services in Bedminster - wondered if anyone had any experience with them? Cheers.

My N reg VR has just started doing exactly the same as yours - although not quite as frequently...yet! Tried searching a little but not found anything - If you have any luck I'd love to hear. I'll let you know likewise... I didn't realise the immobiliser was part of the key - the alarm set/arm is on a separate keyfob on my car...

classic green VR

Recently got my mint 96 Classic green VR to replace my 'rocco so I'm trying to sell it...hard work though had a few time wasters so far but it's still on the drive. All I can say is that it'll be emotional when it goes - each time I take it out - to keep the battery charged I just keep thinking 'why am I selling it?'! that's even after owning the c for nearly 2 months. Build quality is better than the c - less sqeaks and rattles and the doors are much more solid. It's been the most reliable car I've had, parts seemed pretty cheap and never really let me down. Common faults; Clutch cable pulls through bulkhead - ECP do repair patch for 30 quid and was fairly easy to fit. Sqeaky exhaust downdraught coupling (not engine mounts as commonly thought). You just have to live with this! 1K sounds a lot for any rocco TBH. Mines in excellent condition (every one that's seen it says so) done 146K, loads of reciepts and struggling to sell for 500. 1989 1.8i scala too - the best one! Sorry, sounds a bit like and advert that! Worth waiting for a good example though, I've looked at pics of other cars being avdertised for same money and there's a lot of rubbish out there.

About 8 o clock this morning coming up Cotham Brow then turned right down the cut through to Zetland road - mint looking M reg mystic blue storm..... I was in my lift share's knackered pug and too far away to wave ....any takers?

Thanks Chaps, my mind is now rested!

I'm currently looking for a VR6 'rado, and have seen some great cars, but on a couple, I've noticed that there's been either water or white emulsion under the oil filler cap. Most of the vendors have claimed that they think this is because the car has been left standing for a while and this forms condensation - which then mixes with the oil when used again. Does anyone else agree with this theory - I don't want to miss out on buying an otherwise good car if this is a genuine cause.

I live in Bristol but don't own one yet.....but I want one! Actively loooking for a nice VR6 for about £6K.....
