OKay well if the ride is too firm for a 26 y o then me at 30 will find it unbelievably hard :lol: thanks for the advice, maybe I'll hang on until inters and see whats going on then cheers Eug.

Cats.! Any more feedback on these coilovers? How firm are they? Are they easy to adjust?and would a novice like me be able to fit them myself? Does anyone know how they compare with the supersport ones as these were my first choice but @ £200 I'm seriously tempted cheers Eug.

Congratulations :cheers: Hope all of you are doing well.

Hey guys, anymore news on these mounts? I need a full set for my VR, this sounds v interesting and it's a choice of something o.e,something slightly stiffer or vibratechnics jobbies

Dammit! Been following this group buy thread and I'm really really tempted, just don't know if i can justify the initial lump sum of £1100!! There are other things i planned on doing 1st, like new engine mounts and bushes all round oh and the front bearings, there's always something to spend it on I s'pose, It's bloody tempting.....

Hi BlueVR6, as far as cost for the slave cylinder is concerned its £40 from the stealer it was the same price from euro car parts, haven't fitted mine yet, but it doesn't look like a difficult job, also maybe bleeding the system might help your probs in the short term. HTH, Eug

Yep, apparently it acts sort of like a 4 point harness according to the blurb on the website , will it help out my back on those long commutes i wonder :?

Just spotted this in Volksworld It sounds so simple i wonder why I've never heard of it before, it sounds like a good idea if it delivers what it says it does. What do people make of this? http://www.cglock.co.uk

At least I got the leads and plugs yesterday fresh from germany, fitted them y'day afternoon and what a difference, it was really starting to get me down having a misfiring car but its a joy to drive once more, thanks to everyone who helped us out. Eug

Sorry to hear about your charger I found these on ebay which you might be interested in. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... egory=9889 Eug.

After a closer inspection of the plugs and also the HT leads I was thinking that they may be the source of the problem, greenish corrosion happening on both ends, so after reading other threads I thought I'd just pop in my local stealers and get them, they said a couple of days and at the most 3 for new plugs, leads and the metal hazet tool to arrive, fine I thought I'll fit them at the weekend but they phoned me friday afternoon and said the tool's arrived but the plugs and leads could take 2 weeks to arrive :shock: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! and the worst thing of all is I've already paid :x Bleeding Annoying thing of all is I start a new job in Milton Keynes on Monday (over an hour drive for me) and I was hoping to resolve these probs by then!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR again and again and again :oops:

Well VW ownership it all started in '94..... Alpine White Mk 1 Golf Gti Grey Scirocco GTX White and rust '69 Bug (sadly passed away) Apple Green '62 Bug still got it Mars Red Mk 1 Golf Gti just sold it Blackberry VR6 latest addition! In my 1st stuttering steps in the world of driving there was a hotch potch of cavaliers, metros and a cortina...youth eh wasted on the young... :roll: :)

Well I repaired the split today but she still runs poorly, any more ideas?. It's sounding like a V12 at the minute, anyone near me want to run it through vagcom? :? before i despatch it into my local garage, cheers Eug.

The order changes from time to time '56 oval bug any pre 60's Ghia 21 window Splittie Mark 1 Golf GTi Corrado Type 3 Notch/Square/Fastback Buggy (only when the weather is stunning!) Golf G60 and I like the look of the little baby Lupo Gti 8)

hmmm I think the name comes from a type of 'wind' I know the scirocco was named after the winds that blow across the Sahara desert, I don't think it's wise to name your kid 'Corrado' either unless you're a chav! See here ---> http://www.chavscum.co.uk/name.html

Cheers guys, I'll attempt a temp repair in the morning and see if its any better although with Rica's being the same I can't see it helping my poor running thanks again Eug.

My VR has been a bit under the weather, sounding like its misfiring generally not very happy, doesn't rev very smoothly and starts jerking and bucking in 3rd 4th and 5th gear, idle is lumpier than usual too, leads seem fine, coilpack too, will check plugs when i get that extracter tool thing, reading other posts I tried disconnecting the MAF (engine died, I take it thats what its supposed to do) but checking around I found this split in this hose and I don't know what it is, any help guys? Would this cause my probs?? Cheers Eug.

I'd be in for a set too, I dont want the 4x4 look for much longer! :wink: VR6 btw

Agh balls!, bloody 'F' :shock: :cry: This is supposed to be a 'nice' area :roll:

I'd be interested too if the price was right Eug

Hello All :D I recently purchased my VR6 from another forum member (shamvr69) and I'm v happy with it, but it has started misfiring a little bit, sometimes when idling and sometimes when driving, it had a recent full service 400 miles ago so I'm thinking that plugs and leads 'should' be fine. I had a friend look at the fault codes on a Sun diagnostic tool and it returned these fault codes: 01242 - final stage in control module 01249 - injector no. 1(wiring?) 00537 - lambda sensor 00513 - engine speed sensor G28 so I'm thinking of taking a look at the injector rail and wanted to know if it's a straightforward job are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of (barring replacing the manifold gasket!) and also would the other fault codes all be related just to the misfiring? Good to see the forum back on line, Eug 8)

:D I thought the same thing when I saw that advert with it emerging from the garage! I quite like it (obviuosly)! 8) '62 Bug '94 VR6

It looks very good I'm jealous! :)

I might be interested but after looking on the BMC website, it looks like its £160 + VAT + P&P!!!!!!! :shock: so think I'll do with an alternative! :wink:

I saw one in Exhange & Mart for £10,995!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: Unbelievable
