Thanks for all the help, I shall give it a go. Cheers

The heater matrix on my VR6 has sprung a leak, can anyone tell me the best or easiest way to take the centre console out in order to replace it? Thanks

Just suffered a massive oil leak which caused the oil warning light and buzzer to activate. As I look in the engine bay, the left hand side is completely coated with oil but can't find an obvious source of the problem. The engine had been running fine and got no indication that it was running low on oil. Any suggestions? Thanks.

That appears to be the exact same problem I'm experiencing. Thanks for your help.

It is a 1995 with an immobiliser which I don't believe was factory fitted.

Had a problem last year with my VR6 when trying to start it in sub zero temperatures the engine would start fine and run for a couple of seconds before deciding to cut out. As soon as the engine thawed out it would run as normal again. Never managed to find the source of the problem which wasn't a concern as it has worked perfectly during this winter....until this morning. Same problem has reoccurred and it is driving me insane (and making me late for work). Any suggstions would be appreciated.

Cheers, I shall give it a go.

How difficult is it to replace front and rear brake pads? I've managed it on previous cars but want to make sure I can finish the job once I've started it. Any special tools required? Thanks.

I'm having the same problem, have had 2 cats in the past 3 years now in order to get through the MOT.

Honestly it isn't but I'm surprised myself. Cost £90 for the repair then £50 to have it resprayed.

Good as new!!

Been for a MOT but failed on the emissons test as my VR6 seems intent on destroying the catalytic convertor. Will be on my second CAT in the space of 3 years now. Anyone have any ideas what's causing this problem?

Got is sprayed at a place called C C Reiley in Nottingham just off Meadow Lane. Took them about 3 weeks to complete as they couldn't work on it full time, but they have done a good job and the finish looks superb.

The paint work had faded badly especially on the bonnet, the two wheel arches had large amounts of rust and the passenger door had a botched repair job done to it sometime ago and was also rusty in areas. Managed to get both front wings for £38 and a door for £50 whilst having everything apart from roof, tailgate and rear bumper resprayed cost a further £1200. Got the car back last Monday and I am extremely happy with the result. Shame I had a big impact with a kerb on Friday night damaging one wheel and no doubt more damge to the suspension so it is off the road again.

I think a damaged wheel is the least of my problems.....had a closer look and the front offisde wheel is bent inwards and upwards which can't be good.
