I recently purchased some blue magnecor HT leads for my VR from http://www.dcperformance.co.uk £112 delivered & was the cheapest I could find them

Kip - I have a full guide with lots of pictures if you want me to email it to you BUT I am only around for another 10 mins before I leave work to go to Amsterdam to celebrate my 40th or I did send Jim a copy if you see this post after i have gone ;)

nice jim - I didn't know you did any publishing/design :)

it doesn't half Ian - $92 discount - odd those are the people that make the metal headlight adjusters, I would be keen to hear feedback if someone orders from them

nice! it is a good pic for the feature even if a bloody ford pipped the front page lol implications of a good feature I like the 930 flatnose that has a feature too!!

bridgestone RE002's :D

mine were attached to the thread rather than on a hosting site sean but thanks it would explain some of the other threads

Jim has seen it joe & replied I mentioned mine on there too as im sure they were there recently

I noticed similar with my build thread today Jim, with the pictures on the 1st page however I am sure they were there only a few weeks ago, most odd

indeed rob that is one reason I made an easy access for 'manual' operation - IE cut a hole in the motor/light cover & keep an allen key on a driver in the side pocket lol

oh ok - I thought the opposite as I often see threads where the imagebucket, for example, photo links no longer work

mine is also missing a sticker but has the recess there for one I was going to post the link to my build thread but the pictures which were attached have disappeared :( no idea why or where they have gone as I thought attached pictures were permanent? Jim - any clues on to why they have gone pls?

lol I think we probably all pull that face when using the sun roof I too share the being mystified as to what is the actual cause of the intermittent nature. I also have the additional factor that the guy I brought it off told me he had a brand new cartridge fitted not long before I brought the VR off him. he did so as his mechanic couldn't get the parts quickly to repair his old one. thus my cartridge shows very little wear in the channels but still just clicks on the button sometimes used to get stuck when closing from full slide add to this that the valver sunroof works every time & I have never, on both occasions of owning the car, serviced that sunroof at all - they are a fecking mystery LOL PS please let me not have jinxed the valver by typing that last sentence

yes dave that one ebay linky for you http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Liqui-Moly-Silicone-Grease-Transparent-100g-Tube-/361333029651?hash=item5421207b13:g:53AAAOSwHnFVk-Xx

I like your steering wheel :) what seats are they? your gear knob looks rather familiar too! does it have a small circular recess on the top for a sticker & allen key bolts around the edge? I have a feeling I have the very same in my VR

sunroof worked on the button again this morning - I swear it must know I was looking into changing the motor for it & it started behaving lol similar to my drivers heated seat, which, since posting on here about looking for a relay & potential fix for a buzzing relay has not buzzed once swings & roundabouts though as the rad fan was noisey again this morning

found a thread - if anyone else is interested... Manually place the sunroof in the closed position. Before refitting the motor plug it in and run the motor to the closed position. Refit the motor. If you have auto closure just lock the car before refitting the motor.

thanks rob I will have a look I have found a vortex link about the rad fans which implies they can be changed without removing the front end but im going to take a look under the bonnet at the weekend & may try putting some WD on the main one to see if it quietens down

bonus! the sunroof in the VR tilted on the button when I asked it to this morning - first time in a while but I knew it would start behaving again at some point lol my 'manual operation' fix for it suffices when it plays up & I will try the spare motor I got off the gf last year at some point on that note - does anyone know if you need to do anything special to swap the motor's over? eg how do I make sure the spare is in the same & correct position? also, does anyone know if it is possible to replace the VR radiator fan without taking the front off the car? mine had gotten rather noisey in the last couple of days & having already changed the radiator in it I don't much fancy doing it again but the fan concerns me

indeed it is I did one for my valver to see what it had done during the time I parted with it. it showed it had sat for 5 of those years before I brought it back

looking good jim :D

it wont be those then eh rob thanks for the info

it wont be those then eh rob thanks for the info

I am in a similar position with my valver Cressa I have a set of donor lights which I am going to attempt to build a good set by taking the best parts from each if I fail i was made aware of this company who make metal replacement adjusters http://www.tdnparts.com/corrado-euro-light-adjuster-kit/ but they are pricey

im not sure m8, I should have measured them really at a guess I would say within about an inch I thought the scraper's were only meant to stem the flow of water? & the water then run out of the door drains but NOT from under the membrane I have the same 2 tell tale leak lines of water on both VR & valver so I may pull the valver door card off to see what state that is in so as to try & determine if it is the membrane that is the issue (though as that seals the bottom of the door it makes logical sense)
