I was kind of thinking the same re the mods. When looking for my new car I was only looking for an untouched example. I guess it's either drop the price, put it back to standard or wait.

Anyone that is in the 2nd or 3rd (overtaking) lanes on a dual carriageway or motorway whilst either, not overtaking or not allowing for traffic joining from a slip road, deserves to have a fine and points imo. No excuses. It's just lazy, dangerous and annoying. Making motorway driving part of the test is a non-starter unfortunately. I live in East Anglia. No motorways in Suffolk or Norfolk.

I honestly thought that when I put my VR6 up for sale that it would sell fairly quickly. It's been on pistonheads for 6 weeks and on here for nearly as long. All I have had is a couple of "tire kicking" emails. I think I have the price right (dropped from 3540 to 2995), it's low miles for the year (124k on a 93 plate). Maybe there just aren't enough buyers for this type of car? Am I asking too much? I would be interested to hear from other members on their selling experience. Do I sit tight? Try Auto Trader or just keep it for a few more years? I could do with the cash but I won't give it away. Thoughts please gents ;-)

Thanks for the replies. Yes, I have had the car almost 8 years now. The rad was changed about 7 years ago other than that no cooling changes. There is water circulation coming into the tank so I think I will start with the thermostat 1st. Cheers

Thanks very much. Is there an easy way for me to check if the water pump is working?

Hi all. I need some advice please. I have a 93 VR6. Last weekend after a 15 mile run to Bury St Edmunds I noticed my fans where on full blast as I parked. The radiator was cold but the temp gauge was reading higher than usual. An hour later I checked the water level before going home & it was fine. During the journey the water level light came on & before I could pull off the A14 the car filled with steam. I stopped immediately. Got recovered by police & RAC. The garage said my heater matrix had gone. A soaking wet carpet confirmed it to me. A new matrix was fitted but the mechanic said the fans were only coming on after the car was switched off. He suspected an air lock and told me to run it with the cap off for a minute after I got home. I did this and then took it out for a drive. A couple of miles up the road it started to overheat again. I pulled over and noticed a crack in the side of the expansion tank as steam was coming out under pressure. Limped home pretty ****ed off. The heating works in the car, all the hoses seem to be getting hot but the radiator is cold. I am wondering if a blockage in the rad has caused the pressure to get so high as to 1st blow the heater matrix & now thats fixed, the expansion tank. Could this be right or could it have been the expansion tank all along or something else? I hope someone can help. Cheers.

Just a quick update. Car still running sweet with not a single stall. Having read another thread I now suspect running the output test on VAGCOM probably fixed the problem rather than simply cleaning the throttle body. Does anyone else think this more likely?

Made my own headlight loom at the weekend after original one bit the dust. Was surprised how easy it was to do thanks to the guy in Maplin helping me out. Fixed my VR6 stalling problem this evening, well chuffed.
