Yandards 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Last couple of days since collection of the newest member of my collection has been some serious polishing. Raining more today so had a crack at the interior - ran out of microfibre cloths, got about 15 or so, had use 3 on the headlining alone! Too dark to see what I am doing now so game over for today :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Storm Warning 0 Posted December 13, 2006 :D Only chance I get sometimes ;-) Today, Had my the Storm in for a service, fluids done and MOT. Couple of bits fixed: new track rod end, top mounts a rear break pipe. Had to have new number plates for MOT gurrr, slight spacing issue apparently. Finally got my RCs back on after being away from being reconditioned. So slowly getting my parts bin on the car! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2 Posted December 17, 2006 Fitted new VR6 top mounts to my valver today - well, I say I did.. more like 2cc did all the difficult graft and I undid a few nuts and bolts where possible. Took bloody hours thanks in no part to a number of very resistant bolts but we got there in the end. A few head scratchers but good old 2cc stuck in there and just got the job done long after my attention span had escaped. Has lightened my steering considerably (and yes, we did check everything was tightened up properly!) but most importly stopped the cars predilection for pitching and lurching all over the road when touching any raised or off camber bits.. its so much better now. Just need a full alignment now and i'll be good to go :) My thanks to 2cc again and also to Tempest, even though he spent all day at deaths door in bed thanks to an OD on booze last night ;) Thanks for the loan of the tools and garage though :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kick Up The Rs 0 Posted December 17, 2006 Waxoyled my chassis, sub frames etc. Bloody messy job. It's amazing what you do when your car is off the road for one reason or another Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhatVR6 0 Posted December 17, 2006 moved it over a bit, dragged the R32 lump past it so it can go in the 4mo, then dragged the new Audi 3.2 lump past it and started stripping off all the bits I'm not using. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yandards 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Working through my list of stuff to sort on the VR. Stripped out the door cards, gave them a really good bloody clean - people who smoke in cars dont half make a bloody mess!! Thanks for Nathan for the leather cleaning guide, really, really useful just got to do the stuff in the car now. Swapped the bogging in-pro rear lights back to OE. Adjusted the tumblers in the drivers door lock so I dont need two keys anymore. Stripped the mirror switch down and cleaned + reassembled it, KB article coming soon for that. Hopefully fixed the rattle on the drivers side window when it is up. Changed the thermal resistor on the heater motor but it still only blows on 4... Still a shed load to do, anyone got a OEM CD unit for a 93 VR hanging around? (Sony one would do) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted February 3, 2007 Exchanged battery at motor factors under warranty claim, fitted new chrome interior door handles, tried fitting handbrake gaitor but too long and need new plastic handle before sliding it on, found that the passenger footwell is soaking wet..........uh-oh !

Supercharged 2 Posted February 3, 2007 Changed the thermal resistor on the heater motor but it still only blows on 4... Was the resistor damaged Yan?? - you have to be fairly careful soldering these in to get the right connection... The other thing it could be is the contacts on the switch need cleaning / bending - try the pack out of the 16v Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too keen on robbing the motor from the valver but I suppose a diagnostic rob is in order to find out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
