    I'm getting a slight misfire at low-revs intermittently, but this also seems to often cause the handbrake light to come on, would be interested to know if anyone knows anything about this...

    Hi guys, Has anyone else's VR got a high level brake light in the back window at the top? Mine seems to have the black surround etched on the window and 2 brackets to hold one on, but not the actual unit. I've tried looking round scrappers and ebay and haven't seen another one with this yet... Picture shows where the outline is: Cheers, Mike.

    Hi, wondering whether you guys can share any light on this... I'm looking at getting a speed cam detetctor like a road angel etc and ideally would like one with laser detection too, been looking at the new road angels on ebay which seem to go for around £100 and have the laser detector built in, has anyone got any views on these or other detectors in a similar price range? Any help greatly appreciated, Mike.

    that is unbelievebly cheap, and if you don't buy it I will!!!

    Cheers, think I'll take you up on that... would be very helpful and maybe I could sort you out with a pint or something in return...

    It's not the pad wear light, it's the brake fluid and handbrake warning light, but doesn't seem to be either causing it... I'm sure VAGCOM will be able to point me in the right direction... Cheers, Mike

    Since buying the car I've had problems with the Red brake warning lamp coming on in the dash at random times, and I'm assuming the ABS warning light would be coming on too if the previous owner hadn't kindly samshed the bulb in it. Haven't got round to putting it on VAGCOM yet, but will do after the weekend when I move back up to Yorkshire. Anyway, after running the car and opening the bonnet after turning the engine off I can hear a buzzing noise coming from the ABS pump sort of area constantly for about 5 minutes... Is this normal or a sign of anything useful (i.e. pump failure etc)? Any hel

    All fitted and working nicely with total closure... Very pleased with the alarm and glad I don't actually have to unlock the car with a key any more...

    It would have cost me £220 if I lived in Birmingham, found the link through ebay and he only does these prices if you buy through ebay, his feedback seemed really good and they were all for alarm fitting... Will let you know what I think of it/him on Monday... Mike.

    Cheers for all the replies guys, a bloke is coming down from Birmingham to here (Bournemouth) to fit it for £270, couldnt find anyone local who could do it for that sort of price, most places wanted £350. Cheers, Mike.

    when this happens do you have to arm and disarm the alarm before you can set off (had to do that with an alarm on my old Megane Coupe)? Cheers...

    Cheers mate, I'm thinking I'm probably gonna go for the Toad rather than the Avital, think I can get either fitted for about £250 ish...

    Can anyone who's got the Toad Ai606 on there car tell me whether the alarm arms itself automatically, say for example when I leave someone in the car when I nip into the petrol station would I have to disarm the alarm again when setting off? See my post in the ICE, Security & Electrical Section also: http://www.vr6oc.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?140549 Cheers, Mike.

    Just booked my car in for an Avital Maxx 1 alarm fitting for £250, just wondered if anyone has any experience of these alarms or whether they're any good and whether there's much difference between this and the Toad Ai606? Cheers, Mike.

    Hi there, Anyone got VagCom in the Bournemouth area, so I can find out what's going on with my ABS...? Cheers, Mike.
  20. mike_blackvr6
    Living in Bournemouth at the moment but moving back up to Huddersfield (West Yorkshire) in about 4 weeks...

    Hi, Only rececntly got my VR and it came with just the key for the car and no alarm fob. I've looked under the bonnet and I can see a car alarm sounder under there and there's a Sigma alarm booklet in with the car handbook and 2 stickers with a PIN code and S/N on it. How could I go about getting a working fob for this alarm? Cheers, Mike
  22. mike_blackvr6
    It's the exclamation mark, same as when you have the handbrake on, in the manual it states that this is either handbrake on or low brake fluid level.... By the way how do you get to the bulbs for the ABS and Airbag warning lights as my ABS light is smashed and I can't get to it to get it out, i've pulled the white block out of the dash but cant get to the actual bulb... Cheers

    Hi, just picked up my new VR, when driving back from the garage (about 70 miles) the brake warning light on the dash came on, checked the brake fluid level and this seems fine and taking the handbrake on and off doesn't seem to clear it but when I switch the ignition off and then on again it seems to dissapear for a while... Any ideas? Cheers, Mike

    Hi Guys, Just joined up as I bought my first VR. Its a 1998 Black 5Dr with 67k on it.... Will be picking the car up on Saturday so I'll probably be on here asking loads of annoying questions over the next few weeks... Cheers, Mike.
