93 VR6, a mate had to do exactly the same recently for his 96 Storm. If i am going to have to replace it I may as well looking to replace it with something decent.

Hi guys, I haven't posted in a while, touch wood the C has been running pretty good for the past few years. However, after a service and MOT, the mechanic said that I would have to replace the exhaust centre box (corroded) and rear pipe, he said it was a two part piece. I'm just looking for your opinions and suggestions on where and what type of exhaust I should replace with as the mechanic is happy for me to supply the parts. Look forward to the replies. Cheers Ray

Thanks guys. I've had a look at the alarm sensors and they are all where they are supposed to be, i'm thinking it might be a redundant sensor from possibly the factory fitted alarm. The alarm i've got now is, i think an after market Toad alarm.

Initially, that is what i thought, alarm sensor, but the active rear spoiler stopped working after i found it. So not sure if this is coincidence or relates to the spoiler function? FYI, went to a so called German Car Specialist and they didn't know the VR6 had active spoilers!

2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdf27072008012.jpg[/attachment:uodzwtth]Hello, Does anybody know what this is (See pic), presume it is a sensor? It was hanging down from the fuse box, i managed to thread it back up by removing part of the dash but cannot see an obvious place it sits. If anyone knows what or where it goes i would be greatly appreciative. Cheers Ray

Cheers guys for all your comments!

Thanks for that. However, I have a VR6 and it has two fan attachments. Were Euro Car Parts any good?

Hi guys, I've somehow managed to catch a stone chip in my radiator and now its pissing fluid at hi presures. I've had a temporary fix but just means i can't go very far. So my question is, does anyone know where i can pick up a cheapish rad, i've already checked GSF and Euro Carparts and has anyone had to swap a rad before? Cheers Ray

I've got a 1993 VR6

Hi guys, Touch wood haven't had any problems with the C, but its due for a service soon and i'm gonna try to do as much as i can myself. Just wanted to get people's opinion on where i should get my parts from, GSF or Eurocarparts? Any opinions would be a great help. Cheers Ray

OK, looks like i will stick with the standard plugs as apart from looks there appears to be no concernible difference. Cheers for the response

93 VR6 Had a look at spark-plugs.co.uk, got a choice of standard plugs at £3 or the iridiums for £8.

Am going to soon replace my sparkplugs, is anyone using iridium sparks? German car specialists wanted to charge £25 per plug!!! For anyone whois using them, do you see any difference? Apart from the fact that they are £5 more than the standard sparks. Response much appreciated. Cheers Ray

A nice easy one. Need to top up my power steering fluid, is there any products you would recommend. I have bought some STP Power Steering fluid, just wanted to know if you guys use anything special. Regards Ray

I previously posted a query about the active rear spoiler and a sensor which is hanging from my fuse box. Had a look today to see where to reconnect the sensor but all I found was a bunch of wires. I've unscrewed some of the screws to release the fitting but looks like I would have to remove the whole unit under the steering column to get the where I presume the sensor should go. Am I making this too difficult for myself, is there any easy way to reconnect the sensor? Ray
