Hopefuly somebody will be able to help with this........... A while ago I had the rado completely re-sprayed. Ever since this there has been a noise and draft at high speed. If I tilt the sunroof slightly this quietens it a little but when fully closed it is extremely annoying! I am guessing this is something to do with the sunroof seal and could really do with some advice on how to rectify this????? It is also worth mentioning that a small 'L' shaped piece of metal 'fell' out of the sunroof from between the lining and the actual metal lid of the sunroof. I have not got a clue where this goes, but I am guessing it won't be helping. Kinda looks like some sort of clip. Thanks in advance. Regards, Neil.

Thanks for all your comments :) More pictures to come this week - Just need to clean the engine bay 1st!!

Hi all, Thought it was about time I posted up some pics of the VR6. So here we go.............

Bad luck mate........... If you want my advise tho, stay with the car when they do the job, even more so if it's autoglass!!!! They have done a good job now, but due to not getting the seal right they had to do it twice (smashed the 1st new windscreen when trying to remove and re-seal it!!!) Also if i hadn't been there i reckon the would have scrathed the SH1T outta my paintwork! Apparently its not an easy job on Corrado's, so good luck. Neil.

Think I now have this sorted, thanks though :) NjA

Not sure if this is in the right area................ but can someone advise if grinding the caliper carriers is safe? Need to know ASAP as i'm trying to fit some wheels and don't wanna bugger things up!! Thanks in advance. Neil.

Fantastic. Thanks for your help, much appriciated :) Neil.

.........if you need any bits, let me know as I have a spare 096 box and associated bits...... The whole lot is for sale and was totally re-furbed in 2003. She's been stood a while now but was all ok prior to the removal. Regards, Neil.

Thanks mate. Anyone else care to verify for me? Regards, Neil.

Hi, Sorry if this has already been covered, but could someone let me know if 7x16" et35 5x100pcd alloys will fit ok on a VR6?? Thanks in advance. Neil.

Thanks all :) Didn't know you could mirror no-claims, so thats a bonus...! Thanks for this info Henny. vr6storm - The Tuscan is on an 02 plate

Dear all, Yet again I have been bitten by the TVR bug and I'm currently in the process of buying a Tuscan S. Could anyone give me any advice on how I go about insuring both the Tuscan and the VR6 on one policy?? My current insurance company won't let me do it and I really don't wanna sell the VR6, but I have to have a cost effective way of keeping it/justifying it. Thanks in advance, Neil.

Fantastic, thanks for this info. I will check this out tonight and see where that leads me. Just hoping that I don't find anymore damage when I get the time to look :roll: What a day.........

Thanks for all your comments. I must say though that at the time I didn't feel 2 lucky!! But on reflection it could have been a lot worse! Dealers it is then (unless anyone has a unit for sale?), didn't think I would get away with a £20 job for this and also didn't think you could replace just the glass, I looked at the unit but couldn't see how the hell it comes to bits...? As far as the 'gentleman' aka TW@T goes, he manged to escape round the roundabout before I got to the end of the bypass. Probably just as well really, as after a workout and the mood I was then in, greeting him may have made the situation MUCH WORSE!!! :evil:

OK, so let me set the scene......... Nice sunny day, just had a blast of a workout at the gym and heading off back to the office. Cruising down the bypass around 70/80mph, sunroof open, windows down, RHCP blasting outta the stereo and then....................... The lorry in front drops several large chunks of wood onto the road. Now as you can imagine, my first response was :shock: following by lots of swearing and almost near sh1ting myself. Anyway I avoided it for the most part, but due to the barrier on the central reservation being only a cock hair away from me, I had no choice but to hit a bit of it :x So I heard a crunchy smashy kinda noise but kinda was glad that i was still just about on the road, so as the car was still moving and driving ok, I carried on to the office. When I got there I jumped out to find that other than the headlight smashed in, there doesn't appear to be any other damage (will check properly later). Picture attached and can anyone help me out with a spare headlight (passenger side) they might have for sale? Can I get just the glass, or do I need the whole unit??? BTW, shes an M-REG VR6....... Thanks in advance. Neil.

........found another one. Enjoy. NjA

Here's a couple of old audio clips up of my VR6. Part 1 was going excellent untill some bellend in a micra fell asleep and drifted across the lanes on the bypass!! Part 2 was me just messing about. Anyway, these should play in QuickTime when un-zipped. NjA.

Met ardandy today and in turn spotted his VR6. Cars looking well fella and the speedlines look mint :) NjA

A20 LEE's smoothed roof and fuel cap mod is damn good IMO. Did look for some pics, but have ya seen his gallary thread - It's like looking for a needle in a haystack!!!! NjA

Bad luck mate, the careless ***** - Hope ya find out who and catchup with them.............. I always park over 2 parking spaces to try an avoid this. If I ever do have to go to supermarkets etc, sod it, it the mother and child parking spots for me! NjA

I'm with you on that one for sure mate. Had a Griff 5.0 a few years back and borrowed a Cerbera recently, simply amazing :) Gonna keep the VR6 tho as a winter car. NjA

ROTFL :lol: Apparently Jeremy Beadle has a really big cock............. ...........but on the other hand it's quite small !!!!

J Plate Silver G60 (i think) with black BBS parked on Devonshire Street in Keighley yesterday. Same one I keep seeing there with the drivers side all bashed in. Anyone on here? NjA
