dinkus' silver VR - I think I have a problem

[dukest 0]

so which one is getting the respray? :) or is that cancelled now??

You can disable the internal ultrasound sensors (as I found out this morning :lol: ) and that stops it going off. There is a way to change the sensitivity of the sensors too though, so I'll have a crack at that when I find out how.

 

Neither one's going in for a respray now - I'm just going to use the new one which has pretty straight bodywork instead.

did you get some icy stares from your neighbors this am? :)

[dinkus 10]

Hehe, luckily they'd all buggered off to work by the time I snuck out to go to work... :lol:

Its probably got something to do with that switch plug thing that fell apart when you carefully ripped it out.

[dinkus 10]

Heh nah they were all for the old alarms. The guy did say something about double locking it when I bought it, but didn't get what he meant at the time.

Just wondering how the transplant is going? did you say you were planning on selling your old one?

Ah I gave up with the idea in the end - it was going to cost £5k for just the parts, so I just bought the new one instead :D

Yeah but you got the old multiple silver vr problem now tho' ain't ya :lol: (if thats really a problem), thought you were going to start swapping bits & bobs over & get rid of the older one....or am i gettin thicker in my old age :D

[dinkus 10]

Yeah brakes, exhaust, wheels, gauges, some of the stereo, some of the interior have been swapped over so far and the old one will get sold as/when I'm done :lol:

 

Engines are all staying put though, I'm not that crazy

[dirtytorque 0]

is the old engine in good condition?

How many miles on it?

[dinkus 10]

Yeah, it still runs fine and pulls well, if a little clattery when cold :lol:

 

It's got 140k on it, but the chains have been done. I'm not breaking the old car though, so you'd need to buy the engine with the rest of it...
