    I changed with 5w30 last time, but topped up not long back with some 10w40 as its all I had in the garage and it was late should I drop the oil and replace with 5w30 again?

    Guys, I have a strange noise coming from the VR6. I wondered if anyone in NW could help diagnose it. TBH, I dont wanna take it anywhere like awesome and pay £200 just to be told its fucked. I wanted someone to have a quick listen, see if they can tell me whether its terminal, or an easy-ish fix. I am looking to sell the car soon, so unsure on whether to dump a spare lump in, or possibly fix whats gone first, or just leave it. HALP Basically, the car on start up has a tap/knock.

    Guys, my release bearing is gone. Going to have to get a new clutch kit and bearing. Does anyone one on here fancy undertaking this task for me? I am willing to pay/help/bring beer/make pizza

    Is it possible to just change the release bearing, or do i HAVE to do the clutch at same time? Bit of a difference in price if the old plate still has some meat on it (havent checked yet tho) Can anyone confirm? Also, anyone close to Manc/Rochdale who fancies doing ti for some reddies??

    Yep, sounds like a split rad. Winter blues. Try some K-Seal, and be prepared to put a new rad in

    Guys, need to give the VR a post-winter service. I am thinking:- Oil Oil Filter Fuel filter Plugs I did the radiator and new G12+ last week, so thats good Might even see about re-bleeding my brakes with some Dot4, as its probabaly never been done, lol But what plugs should I go for? Champion, NGK, Denso etc etc No mods to the car, totally standard. Leads seems to be in alright condition too

    Just had a look, and they are listed as different, only slightly though 31147 GEARBOX MOUNTING-REAR G3 1.9 Diesel 11/91 >2/99 - £15.60 and 31147B GEARBOX MOUNTING-REAR G3 VR6 1/92 >12/97 £15.60 I assume one is rubber, one is hydraulic??

    Guys, I need a new engine mount at the back right (as you looking at the front of the car), its the one close to the driveshaft. Its totally gone as engine rocks by hand. I just want standard one, not vibratach or owt. Is it VR specific, or wil a GTi one fit??
  19. McPikie
    a thousand times better mate What wheels are you going for??
  20. McPikie
    Could also be the aux belt tensioner? Fire it up with the bonnet open and try to see if its front or back.
