fishmaestro 10 Posted June 13, 2011 Recently bought a Vr6 from my mate down in Norwich and I had a long and enjoyable ride up to Fife. He did'nt want to part with it but he is emmigrating and also did'nt like the idea of any major problems arising with the car, can be awkward selling to friends. Absolutely lovely motor but already encountered some problems. My bonnet came back steaming after a ride out recenltly and feared the worst ( Gasket gone) but luckily I traced the fault to a spring leak out of one the coolant hoses, phewy. This site has already proved useful obtaining a spare hose from a forum user ( thank you tonedef ). Also I have posted the annoying wheel noise fault on the forum and had some positive feedback. Hope to get this sorted within a week as it doesnt sound too bad. Also possibly looking a getting some bubbling spots on the paintwork sorted so if anyone in Fife or nearby happens to know the best and cheapest options then send us a reply with some good info. Cheers Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishmaestro 10 Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks, not sure how much longer I'll be in Scotland but there does seem to be a good few owners. Always good for networking and discussing the Rado issues. Hopefully get some contacts for improving/maintaining the motor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
