VR-Sixy

All sorted. Was indeed fuse 21 - everything back now..... courtesy light, dash clocks.... luvverly!!! Thanks guys - you're the best!! :clap: :clap:

Maybe someone can shed some light on this. For some reason, my dasboard clock and trip meter Zero'd out and went blank yesterday afternoon. I reset the clock to the correct time then switched the ignigtion off. When i turned it back on again the clock was back to Zero. This was on MFA setting 1, so i tried the same on MFA2 and exactly the same thing happened. Also my interior courtesy light is now not working. :shrug: And.... strangest of all, my Alarm/Immobiliser has also gone out in sympathy in that when i lock the car, the central locking activates and i get my usual beep, beep beep. Then about 10-15 seconds later, i get a set of three double beeps which is the 'there's something wrong' type beep. Anyone got any ideas on this one? Cheers

Clocked a Red Rado going over Walton Bridge this morning around 0710am. Didn't get the flavour but the reg was ****AVX - or something like that. Got wave in response to mine. :wave:

Turned out to the the Ignition Coil. Already replaced by 11am this morning and i'm picking him up from the garage tonight. Thanks to everyone for their contributions. Much appreciated. :notworthy:

Thanks Roger. Really appreciate your input. :notworthy:

Good enough for me, i'll direct my garage guy to that area. If it's intermittent, do you think it might just be that something has come loose in the coil pack (seen pictures - lots of stuff to work loose in there) and need tightening up given that it runs perfectly after it kicks back in? £300 odd for a new coil pack is giving me the shudders!! Any more input gratefully accepted. Thanks

Would a defective coil pack cut out and then cut back in again? I'm guessing it would behave like that.......

Got something strange going on with my VR6. From what i can gather myself, i think it might be an intermittent plug or Injector - this is what happens. After about 10 minutes running from start-up, the is a slight jolt and it feels (and sounds) like it's not firing on all cylinders and I loose all acceleration and power. It still runs, but sounds like a Subaru Imprezza without the balls!! After another 10 minutes or so, there is another slight jolt when whatever had kicked out, kicks back in again and it's as smooth as a Baby's Bum again. Weird eh? Just wanted to run this past you lot before it goes to the garage tomorrow to be looked at with a view to maybe giving my guy at the garage a couple of pointers as to what it might be. Anyone out there with any ideas? Thanks! :norty:

WAH!!! The bloody thing is only working on 4 again. :confused4: Not impressed. :(

Copped an ice violet VR6 in tesco car park Sunbury this morning about 1100 am. L***KMJ - very lowered but on standard speedlines. All it needed was a wash!! :wave: (HA! there's ME talking!!) :norty:

Lots of familiary rituals listed here!! For me - i pray that i'll never hear the sound of a Challenger Tank again when i start it up. A little bit of Piston Slap i can deal with, but even that always gives me the horrors in case it don't stop after a second or so. I always slide the drivers side mat back to the seat. On wet days, only the passenger window gets opened 3 or 4 inches until all the rain has gone from the roof. My first 2/3 turns are always left turns so the rain runs off the drivers side!! On dry mornings, drivers side window all the way down, passenger window as wet days. No welly-giving until sufficiently warmed up - usually after about 9 or 10 minutes and i can see the temp guage has moved. Yes. I know. I'm a nutter. :cuckoo: :cuckoo: :norty:

You sir are a genius. I didn't realise that the knobs for the control panel of the heater had their own place. My entire dash was taken out by the garage for a new heater matrix about 18 months ago and when i got it back, the heater would only work on setting 4. So i tried switching round the dials last night and hey presto - fully working blower on 1,2,3 and 4 again!! The garage guys must have put them back in the wrong positions. Muchas Muchas Gracias!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :salute:

Clocked another one last night at 1750 on the Queens Road between Walton On Thames and Hersham. Dark colour, not sure what flavour, but it looked very tidy...... ****EHG or EGH. He saw me before i saw him and i got a flash, so responded with a wave. Very Friendly!! :wave: :)

Spotted a nice dark coloured Rado on the Kingston Rd in New Malden at around 0845 this morning heading towards Kingston.. K+++ RBK. Very nice. :salute:

Clocked a dark Rado on Oatlands Drive, Walton on Thames last night (12th July) about 6pm ish. Young guy driving, got a wave in response to a quick flash!! Looked very nice - couldn't make out the flavour though. :wave:

In Tesco Sunbury (Near the M3) again - last night 09/06, chatting to a guy with TWO Blackberry Rados... one a 2ltr valver and one a VR6 but with an R32 lump in it. His vavler was beautiful - all debadged and gleaming. I hate him as well!! :2gunfire: :notworthy:

Last night (Friday 4th June) at around 7.45pm in Tesco Sunbury (near the M3), a jaw-dropping VR6 Storm in Mystic blue. :notworthy: Absolutely immacualte. M***BGN. 69k on the clock and nice set of BBS's. It made mine look like a piece of crap and 4 wheels. I hate you!! :lol: :lol:

Spotted a White VR6 at Cowey Sale/Walton Bridge this evening, Sunday 23rd May, around 8.20pm - K***OYJ. Looked nice!! :wave: :wave:

Copped a Red Rado on B376 going towards Chertsey Bridge Monday evening. M_ _ _ SSC. Waved and Nodded - but no response. Hey Ho. :shrug:

16 bleedin' quid!!! 'Kin 'ell!! :shock: I'll have two please!! :norty:

Finally found a reliable source to get a replacement Beesting Aerial Base for my Rado. I think the one i have on it at the moment is from a VW Polo and the reception is absolute pants. I noticed on the display picture that there's a a red second wire coming from the aerial base - presume this is the 'amplified / powered' part of the base. it looks like this...... http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/941/corradobase.jpg Anyone know where this wire goes?? :confused4: Ta in advance!! :salute:

That's my neck of the woods. Not seen this one around locally before. :shrug:

Dark Blue K Reg 16V (i think) in Walton on Thames today (20Feb) around 14.20.... just going towards Walton bridge. Gave a quick honk, but no response. :wave: :wave:

Just spotted a Blue/Green Rado (either a G60 or valver) **** VPA on the Kingston Rd in New Malden - 17.00/04Feb. Looked very nice. Hello who ever you are!! :wave:

Blue Corrado M***CRW going down Kingston Rd, New Malden this afternoon at around 15.40. Headed toward Kingston. Not sure what favour, but it looked good!! :tongue: :nuts:
