    until the car has warmed up, it will overfuel a little which is why its not recommened to run low temp thermostats at it runs the 'cold map' for longer - thus causing overfueling for longer.. do you get any piston slap on startup at all? What colour is the smoke?

    I've also seen people 'detail' headlights before on detailing world.

    Yes chains and a head gasket maybe but a 2k rebuild?? I did notice the word 'dealer' in the original thread? so possibly? Maybe worth getting details of what work has been done on the engine... Pete

    I needed my chains doing at 90k and a head gasket at even less on my first R reg vr6 at around 78k.. Just depends on how good it's been maintained in the past I suppose!

    hyrdolic lifters? or your using too thin oil... what are you using in it?
  9. VR6Pete
    Sound. Dont think I'll bother with 1 day insurance at those prices! I can insure this for 220/ year under classic car policy so might just cross my fingers and hope it passes first time... So close now!!

    And what about having no road tax?
  11. VR6Pete
    Well, I'm not far off getting the vr6 ready for the road... As it's been sworn for over a year, no MOT and insurance. How (inside of the law) do I go about getting it MOT'd? Obviousley Id have to get the car to an MOT station, but then I can't tax it without an MOT and obviously I'm not keen insuring it until it has a 12 month ticket on and tax?

    I think both will fit - 76mm will need a bit of a hoof on.. Throttle body sizes OBD1 = 80MM OBD2 = 76MM maybe getting confused, but theres not much in it

    Probably doing some stuff this weekend though. new brake lines have come, new defroster cable has come, just waiting for my brake line clip and DOT4 to come then ready to roll....
  14. VR6Pete
    You probably need the coupling silicon hose that goes on the BMC > MAF...... I think a 76mm bit of hose will do the job. Merlin Motorsport sell them.

    Good idea! Shed of the month
  19. VR6Pete
    We basically choose every month who we should be feature car of the month, so keep those build threads updated :-) I'm sure Helen and Tony will expand more...

    Might be worth while pressing that caps lock key matey

    It sounds very much like he's dislexic! I have a dislexic member of my family who spells how he says words so please spare a thought

    could be a broken tab / sheered cog.. it happened on my corrado, but the reason the tab / cog broke was because the de-mister cable was mashed, which meant it was putting stress on the heater controls... £9 from the dealer for the corrado for the cable. worth taking out your control pannel and see if the bowden cables move freely!

    Stick to syntha silver mate!
