    i used DHL to send mine from bournemouth to scotland. they cost me £45 but i had to package them myself and take them to their depot. . . . they did arrive in good condition. . . . i used some old carpet against the outer face to protect, then covered in cardboard and bubble wrap... hope this helps...

    mine has just gone over 100k miles , i haven't had the oil pressure checked yet, but i may have to get it done soon.. trouble is i have to get it checked when the car is totally cold otherwise the noise is not present... may have to leave it at work and do it first thing one morning .......

    don't think so unfortunately..... the vr has it's own air con pump....

    that was my first thought..... i have recently changed the top chain tensioner and given it another oil and filter change but it has not helped at all unfortunately.. this is why i have been looking along the lines of oil pressure or the possibility of temperature/thickness....

    aaah very tidy.. i wondered what anniversary wheels would look like on a vr...now i know...

    now that is interesting.. mine (MARCH94) has a problem in the morning when totally cold. there is a "clanking" noise which ONLY occurs when stone cold and only lasts about 15 - 20 seconds.. i am sure it is oil pressure related as if you raise the revs from tickover(850) up to about 1600 (hence increasing oil pressure)it goes away .. when the revs come back down the noise comes back . . . . . BUT when the engine has been running more than about 20 seconds the noise disappears totally at all revs and does not return until the next day when the engine is totally cold...... which makes me wonder i

    i would hope you can swap just the shell of the dash and keep all your vents,clocks,switches etc. . . .

    jez - DON'T STEAM CLEAN IT!!!!!!! unless you like rusty knackered electrical parts ... but i agree - looks like rocker gasket not head gasket , give it a wipe with a cloth and see where it comes back from...

    not exactly sure, but it almost the same size as a 6mm allen key.. obviously splined though...

    ok mate - here is the uk parts slide for the oil pump and shafts - i can see no bushings for the oil pump shafts ... i have checked the numbers you posted and can make no sense of them unfortunately..... it is VERY unusual for us (UK) to be able to get hold of anything U.S. spec unfortunately... i have assumed you have the 12v vr6 engine not the newer 24v version ... good luck ..
