i have always run Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w-40 in my VR6 - i buy it from Opie Oils online it is expensive but fully synthetic & one of the best out there

if it is an early model there is a "how to" in the wiki for cleaning the wing mirror switch - i did mine a couple of weeks ago on the 16v & it brought the drivers side back to life but not the passenger sadly the dog bone things float on the springs by the way & are tiny so some tweezers help to put them back in place

pity they didnt go for the 25K but 20 is still great m8!! well done 🙂

many thanks cressa!! i just wish i knew how to interpret that diagram LOL

i have covered mine over with some Hella covers 😉

also - they look straight edged whereas proper late fog lenses have a chamfer on the rear

they are plastic - be aware

good post keyo & those prices are much more realistic 🙂

JL audio are hard to beat in terms of both build quality & sound quality - hence why their higher ranges are super expensive!!

pleasure to help m8 - you wouldnt be disappointed with the C1's & could easily handle if you upgrade your head unit too

excellent that would be great thank you - pics would help if you are able to as well m8 any idea if the seat section & upright sections are separate pads?

no disrespect to the poster but as has been discussed previously the prices for fog lenses & headlights for example are astronomical!!! eg £300 for one side late fog light they need to be much more realistic & not take the preverbial out of corrado owners

i did wonder about the element as the seat has never really got very warm when the relay behaves i will give the not sitting on it a try how would i check the continuity of the elements in the seats m8?

hi keyo are they to go in the audioscapes? the JL C1-650x are in your price range on amazon & would be a very good choice, they will run fine off a stock stereo albeit the head unit is rather under powered JL Audio C1-650X - C1 6.5" (165 mm) 2-Way Coaxial Speaker 225W: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike ive got the C2-650x but they run off a 55w RMS sony unit the audioscape grills also fit over them if you put a slight dome in them

Whilst most of my interior is out i thought it might be worth asking if anyone can point me in a direction to fix my drivers heated seat relay buzzing? it doesnt do it all of the time but more often than not & always when i want a warm bum sometimes i can turn the dash switch up & there is no noise immediately but then the relay starts buzzing like mad, other times it buzzes as soon as you turn the dash switch on the passenger side doesnt do it i think i tried swapping the 2 relays over but cant remember exactly the outcome thanks in advance

i can vouch for the JL Audio's m8 - they sound superb in the audioscape pods 😄 but they aint cheap!

ha ha ha i know where 1 is m8, albeit missing the front splitter 😉

relisted on ebay but as an auction this time it is having a fresh MOT put on it this week if any members on here wants it i will take £2250

thanks - im looking forward to having some fun in the R53 & also a newer motor with all the tricks - the SC with miltek stainless sounds awesome!! yeah shame about the sale but feel sorry for the guy getting laid off a month before christmas i think i will try the 16v one last time on ebay but on auction with a reserve rather than a buy it now with offers

no sadly the front kamei splitter is missing on the 16v in the 7 years i was parted from it someone obviously didnt know what they actually had & removed it 😞

oh poop - the poor guy has just been laid off work & has had to pull out 😞 ho hum!! back on sale & price drop to £2500

yeah i will be sad to part with it but then the VR6 is almost done & now has one of the features i loved about the 16v - the Kamei X1 kit 🙂 it has been replaced by a 2004 R53 mini cooper S - which i got a bargain on!! 82K, fully loaded with xenon headlights, heated full leather interior, sat nav, air con etc & factory option chilli kit which is bumpers & skirts. plus it has been breathed on with uprated intercooler, 17% pulley, ram air induction & stage 2 remap - think it has more horses than the VR6 lol i will be changing the 17's on it though for some 15" * 7J Zender Star's which i recently picked up for a very good price

you would think so but 2 weeks on ebay & only 1 offer had to drop the price more than i wanted but it is time to part with it & hopefully it will be gone on thurs my VR6 is the investment & ive not the money nor the inclination to restore the 16v unfortunately on a good note, its replacement arrived on saturday 😄

now provisionally sold 🙂

he only has the rear view mirrors m8 as the clip is normally bonded to the windscreen (so would be sold with a screen)
