mine is also missing a sticker but has the recess there for one I was going to post the link to my build thread but the pictures which were attached have disappeared :( no idea why or where they have gone as I thought attached pictures were permanent? Jim - any clues on to why they have gone pls?

lol I think we probably all pull that face when using the sun roof I too share the being mystified as to what is the actual cause of the intermittent nature. I also have the additional factor that the guy I brought it off told me he had a brand new cartridge fitted not long before I brought the VR off him. he did so as his mechanic couldn't get the parts quickly to repair his old one. thus my cartridge shows very little wear in the channels but still just clicks on the button sometimes used to get stuck when closing from full slide add to this that the valver sunroof works every time & I have never, on both occasions of owning the car, serviced that sunroof at all - they are a fecking mystery LOL PS please let me not have jinxed the valver by typing that last sentence

yes dave that one ebay linky for you http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liqui-Moly-Silicone-Grease-Transparent-100g-Tube-/361333029651?hash=item5421207b13:g:53AAAOSwHnFVk-Xx

I like your steering wheel :) what seats are they? your gear knob looks rather familiar too! does it have a small circular recess on the top for a sticker & allen key bolts around the edge? I have a feeling I have the very same in my VR

sunroof worked on the button again this morning - I swear it must know I was looking into changing the motor for it & it started behaving lol similar to my drivers heated seat, which, since posting on here about looking for a relay & potential fix for a buzzing relay has not buzzed once swings & roundabouts though as the rad fan was noisey again this morning

found a thread - if anyone else is interested... Manually place the sunroof in the closed position. Before refitting the motor plug it in and run the motor to the closed position. Refit the motor. If you have auto closure just lock the car before refitting the motor.

thanks rob I will have a look I have found a vortex link about the rad fans which implies they can be changed without removing the front end but im going to take a look under the bonnet at the weekend & may try putting some WD on the main one to see if it quietens down

bonus! the sunroof in the VR tilted on the button when I asked it to this morning - first time in a while but I knew it would start behaving again at some point lol my 'manual operation' fix for it suffices when it plays up & I will try the spare motor I got off the gf last year at some point on that note - does anyone know if you need to do anything special to swap the motor's over? eg how do I make sure the spare is in the same & correct position? also, does anyone know if it is possible to replace the VR radiator fan without taking the front off the car? mine had gotten rather noisey in the last couple of days & having already changed the radiator in it I don't much fancy doing it again but the fan concerns me

indeed it is I did one for my valver to see what it had done during the time I parted with it. it showed it had sat for 5 of those years before I brought it back

looking good jim :D

it wont be those then eh rob thanks for the info

it wont be those then eh rob thanks for the info

I am in a similar position with my valver Cressa I have a set of donor lights which I am going to attempt to build a good set by taking the best parts from each if I fail i was made aware of this company who make metal replacement adjusters http://www.tdnparts.com/corrado-euro-light-adjuster-kit/ but they are pricey

im not sure m8, I should have measured them really at a guess I would say within about an inch I thought the scraper's were only meant to stem the flow of water? & the water then run out of the door drains but NOT from under the membrane I have the same 2 tell tale leak lines of water on both VR & valver so I may pull the valver door card off to see what state that is in so as to try & determine if it is the membrane that is the issue (though as that seals the bottom of the door it makes logical sense)

bugger not you too :( im a tad mystified as where the water is managing to ingress. other than completely remove the membrane & black sticky stuff so as to completely re-do it all im a bit lost plus I really took my time to try to ensure that the bottom of the membrane was all stuck down well guess I wont know until I get the door card off again bonus as ive got the same issue on the valver too, yay lol

what wheels are they & what size & price? thanks

oh balls! it would seem I spoke too soon as the drivers footwell was damp again today :( I am wondering the the infinity door speakers are too deep & pushing the membrane up slightly

ahh I see

it may be gliptone developing their products or range rob their website is very different from the one last year. they are literally 5 minutes from my house though so I will pop in over the next few weeks & have a chat with the technician I spoke to last time I will put a post up somewhere once ive spoken to them but I agree with you that a water based product would suffer if not sealed

ahh 2 + 2 has just happened in my head lol would that be from one of the joint venture cars with goldie? I did bid on a drivers bolster on ebay a while a go but it ended up going for silly money

I thought the exact same as you about the sealer easypops I don't recall getting a sealer with the glyptone stuff when I went to their offices for my stuff but having jumped on their new website I found this http://www.liquidleather.com/en/27-car-motorbike-leather-sealants-protectors easypops - what do you plan for the bolster? I believe they are not available & am unaware of any repro's.

oh I see. any chance you could post or PM me the link when you are able to pls? I will then save it as the passenger side underlay was removed last year as for the 'speedy' - no m8 it is sheer coincidence, I was making a funny based on the 'underlay, underlay'...Gonzales ;) lol

wow - I bet that was an awesome sight to see & also be part of
