    I paid 3k for my 93 k VR 115K and that was a 2-3 years ago. Its straight, no rust. Was burning a bit of oil. All electrics worked - Nothing else wrong with it. So assuming prices have dropped a little over those 3 years i would go with £2000-£2500

    I know VR bolts aer M14 where as all other rados are M12

    Sounds like a dodgy relay. Just bad luck.

    Thanks to John (dukest) for the speedy delivery on the steering wheel. :D

    Im currently living in Amman where there are a few Gulf billionaires kicking about & believe me you are bang on!! Flash is king in Arabia..... yeah well it will be interesting to see what happens (if anything) when the oil runs out. Saying that im sure they've invested their cash elsewhere.

    The ebay leads can be a little temperamental - mine only likes to be detected if i plug it into USB COM Port 3. Doesnt like any of the other USB ports.

    I know, I know :) I'm saving frantically... not long now :) Its going to be a momentus occassion when you get a VR, Jim. :lol: How long is not long?

    which filler did you get - i went and to Halfords and all i saw was the Isopon stuff, dont know if thats the right stuff? Thanks. Thats the stuff i used and seemed fine.

    Get this OBDII lead and one of these 2x2 adaptor Then download a version of Vagcom from Rosstech.
  10. Critical_Mass
    Its a 2x2 connector. If you look on ebay you can get a 16 pin adaptor like you have on the ODBII but you also get an adaptor to change it to the 2x2 adaptor.

    :lol: :lol: Quality!! ''They cant have been there naturally'' I can't help but picture Chuck in one of those school play type Tree suits creeping nearer and nearer the road before.....HEEE'YAHHHH!! joking aside - just glad the guy's ok after the incident..absolute miracle :lol: Silly s0d!

    10! I wonder if he put one away to get dusty and go up in value? That is a really nice Aston Martin though. Not 100% sure about the carbon fibre door cards though. But very nice!!!! 8)
  13. Critical_Mass
    Could be. If the yellow temp sender is crusty it could be under reading, hence the gauge reading. I had this issue on mine and the gauge works fine now. The sensor was only £10.
  14. Critical_Mass
    Those wheels really have come up nice mate! How many days/weeks dirt was on them?
  15. Critical_Mass
    could be the gauge thats out then. Do the heaters get warm? No youre right a dodgy yellow temp is simply for the gauge, and wont interfere with the ECU nor the mixture!
  16. Critical_Mass
    yep, should clarify, if mine and ir6 are running below 70degs all the time then we're always running rich If the gauge is accurate yes. But my understanding is if it does go over 70 it will come out of map, even if it drops below 70 again it wont go back into warm up map. Do your cars drink lots of fuel, any black smoke out the back?
  17. Critical_Mass
    yep dead right, my stat opens at about 70 which is too low, i changed my yellow sensor when i drained the system thinking it may be screwy too.... then after refilling i bought the thermometer and noticed my top pipe was getting hot too quick :brickwall: its not a daily so going to live with it until the weather gets warmer :lol: and see what it does then, don't like the idea of it running rich on the warm up map though Warm up map is supposed to run rich.
  18. Critical_Mass
    Exactly mate! i use mine daily and yes it gets dirty, but its an excuse to be washing it all the time! :D
  19. Critical_Mass
    Yeah mate, held on by little screws!
  20. Critical_Mass
    Yeah the definitive vr cooling thread will help! Aide - 65 degrees even in this weather seems really low!
  21. Critical_Mass
    Yes mate, it was the yellow temp sender that was faulty! Vagcom read right. I appreciate you've just changed the yellow temp sender but checking on vagcom would prevent you from spending time and money on the wrong thing - just a thought. EDIT - i see your oil is running cool, so i agree it could well be your thermostat.
  22. Critical_Mass
    Well i guess it must be the gauge then as i've just repalced the yellow temp sender, and the blue ecu one whilst i was there. Does anyone know if just the temp gauge can be replaced on it own? Thanks for the replies peoples :wave: Worth checking on vagcom first though. However unlikely its still possible that you got a duff sensor.
  23. Critical_Mass
    Get vagcom plugged in and check the temp reading from the ECU, if it matches the gauge you know its the thermostat. If the ECU reading normal then you know its the gauge thats wrong - ie the yellow temp sender needs replacing.
  24. Critical_Mass
    They could have been grown else where and put there when the road was done. They cant have been there naturally .
  25. Critical_Mass
    Good man!!!!! :clap: Hope you start to enjoy it again SOON!!!
