Hi Ant, I got scared when I saw she'd been retired! I am really chuffed that I sold her to someone did everything I wanted to do but just didn't have the skill, time or money to do! they are hideously addictive cars and now I have moved alot closer to where I work and I seriously tempted to get another VR :) If your ever driving down the M40 and fancy a cup of tea and the chance to show her off, give me a text/PM as it would be lovely to see the both of you again. John

Hi Tony, I don't remember it crunching when I was driving it, but it was over a year ago :)

Got to admit, the shot with the bumper off it a little scary, but I am glad it went to such a good home!

I'd be interested in seeing how the headlining job comes out. I would like to do it myself :)

Hi 8vMatt, I installed my loom a while back and its a bit of a hefty job :) Basically, I took the whole dash out (as I was swapping it with a black one anyway). Used the big circular earth connection which is bolted to the chassis and sort of below the drivers side tweater as my earth. I used viewtopic.php?f=19&t=76368&p=905110&hilit=heated+seat+wiring#p905110 to find where to put the live, however, I got it wrong slightly wrong and used a permanent live instead of a switch live so my switch is illuminated all of the time :) I then ran the wire behind the speedo etc until I reached the central column where the handbrake sits. As i think my wiring loom is too short, I had to run the cable along that tunnel with the cables for the seats running left and right, however, I understand that the correct way is to run it alongside the passenger door as the relay bolts in behind the passenger rear door card. As I ran mine through the center, there is a small bump underneath the rear passengers carpet but it is barely noticeable. If you need any more help, PM me :)

I keep spotting a J reg green C, not sure if its a VR6 or a Valver on my way to and from work. Its usually somewhere between Old Stratford and Deanhanger along the A422 near Milton Keynes.

Was there only ever one color of beige? My front seats are much browner than my back so I would like to both to match and I was wondering if i could use your colour code. Would this dye work on alacantra? Thanks John

My stealer said it was obsolete :(

I was wondering if anyone else's VR6 is a little bit grumbly when it starts. Its only ever the first start of the day but it is a little irratic in its reving and very little power. After approximately 1/4 of a mile or 2-4 minutes of driving its gone. Is this a common problem or does my Rado need some more TLC :)

I am the same as Jon_VR6. I get around 33-35 MPG on the motorway and thats doing between 70-75.

Hi Guys, Does the biege interior come with its own headlining or is it the same as the Grey or Black. Any pictures would be appreciated! John

Hi Blue, If it has a cream interior (wishful thinking, i know!) could you let me know! Thanks

Id be interesting in finding out how much they charge you. My seats are a right state :)

two stickers please :) Let me know the payment :)

I got mine replaced by autoglass in December through my insurance. Only cost 70 quid but your original would have to "get broken" first.
