    Last week i had to replace a coolant hose that had burst, refilled with coolant to the correct level, topped up a bit after running then done around 500 miles this weekend with no problems, Driving to work this morn was fine but when arrived there, switched off the ignition then saw a little steam coming from the expansion tank side, popped the bonnet to find coolant leaking out of the side of the expansion tank where the two halves join, is it just bad luck i have or did i do something wrong maybe an air blockage or something it was never topped up over the max line so has it just given up t

    Well had a great weekend up in Gloucestershire with the misses and martin and sal, ( Went on a very spirited drive around the forest of dean and surrounding areas which we experienced some amazing driving roads which really suited the vr, Thanks again to our Local tour guides and for the storage of the cage too lol, Didn't manage to get any rolling shots just this one back at the petrol station (for the 2nd time that day lol) Then this morning it was time for a good clean (Again) and fit my rear cage, Which was a little interesting at times with lots of swearing, moving bars around adjustin

    Anybody got these fitted? Whats the quality like? going for some braided fuel lines so thought these would accompany them quite nice. Link below http://gruvenparts.com/website/cart/cart.php?target=product&product_id=345&category_id=60

    Ok after my burst water pipe this arrived today so time to replace the faulty hose and flush the coolant system at the same time. Was quite easy to replace, Newly fitted hose pictured below. Also decided to remove the carpet from under the bonnet lol, Looks much better and cleaner in my opinion, Also tried cleaning up the expansion tank (well the misses did) hot water, salt water, dishwasher tablets lol, it came up a little cleaner. Then fitted my silvatec front indicator bulbs. Before After

    Cheers mate, I think its the early vr's that came with arch trims upto 94/95 or obd1 cars and later models without. I may be wrong tho

    Hi mate' date=' yes no problem as soon as i find a suitable battery box i will drop you a text and its yours, Was going to see how it grows on me first then maybe do the logo blue at a later date [u'] Latest update Well last night the car decided to blow a hole in a coolant pipe coming from the back of the block to the heater matrix, coolant and steam everywhere :S managed to order a replacement from the dealers today so will hopefully be back on the road tomorrow when it arrives

    Just a bit more cleaning today, still plenty more under the bonnet to do tho, fitted the engine cover back on after the final coat of lacquer, Managed to find some chrome strut top covers too (homemade alternative) lol, they fit quite well i think, still need a new expansion tank, brake fluid reservoir and would like to fit some sort of battery box as not too keen on the jacket

    I think the engine bay looks spot on as it is mate, White would also be a good idea just a pain in the a##e to keep clean especially the hoses, How do you find the std airbox over the cone filter performance wise?

    Had a bit of a clean + condition of the leather interior today, they seem to come up ok i think. Just a couple of images for the guys that pmd me about the Focal components i have fitted. believe the part numbers to be Focal 165h + 165v. Then after it finished raining, a quick wash. Really need some silvatec front indicator bulbs. Tomorrows plans (weather permitting) front end off, drain coolant + replace with new, some more cleaning up under the bonnet,
