harley 0 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 hi i have just been and test driven a p reg vr6 with 106 on the clock , the garage said it has been stored in a barn for 5 years, it was in reasonable condition , a bit of water in the boot , but the engine had lots of white corrosion on the engine cover and alternator would this be down to salt. also the drive shafts looked a bit oily (but no puddle where i left it) the oil cap was a bit milky but the water was clean so probably just sort test drives thanks for your views cheers j Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted May 9, 2010 Report Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hiya,I'd say the white corrosion will be just cosmestic. I've stopped trying to keep mine looking good ;-) The VR tends to be quite a 'wet engine' and the mayo can build up on the cap if unused or only used for short trips. Did you check the oil on the dipstick?Might be worth have a good look at the CV boots in case they've perished Link to post Share on other sites
