  1. I need some suggestions about my faulty clifford alarm. Since Tuesday both key fobs fail to unlock/disarm the car alarm - which means I have to use the damn switch thing to enter the valet code (not as easy as it sounds) to start the car. I've tried new batteries in both key fobs - one of which has never been used. I've also cleared the fobs from the unit, following the instructions, and then tried to re-bind them, but no luck. The alarm seems to work ok, except for the fobs. The alarm was fitted when I bought the car - in 1999 and the fitter no longer deals with Clifford. Any suggestions short of getting a new alarm. I wanted to spend my saved cash on some coilovers or a new exhaust!!!

    Spot my ISV

    I left my car out in the heavy rain last night (might not be related) and now my C wont idle for more than 5 seconds before dying. I've searched the forum and want to give my ISV a clean, but after reading countless posts and checking my engine bay, I cant find the damn thing! So could someone be so kind as to point the blind man and his white stick to the ISV in the photo? Much appreciated....
  4. Saw a black VR6, Reg **** JNP I think, on Wherstead Road, Ipswich, Friday 31st, about 5:30 ish. Looked nice and clean, fairly standard although it looked like it was lowered.

    VR6 Engine Rebuild

    Thanks for this, would I be able to tell (or a garage for that matter) by taking the head off first and inspecting it - might be worth doing before committing to a full rebuild?

    VR6 Engine Rebuild

    The engine seems fine on power :D but drinks oil, which I am told could be piston rings, hence the rebuild. I originally thought valve stem seals, but it doesn't kick out smoke when I start it. I also have to replace the plugs fairly often ~8k as I am getting ALOT of carbon build up.
  7. A bit vague this question, but how much can I expect (roughly) to pay for an engine rebuild? My car has nearly done 130k miles now and I'd ideally like to restore the car to last me a few more years (it had done 65k when i bought it!), but I will only do this if I can be sure the car is mechanically sound first... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
