    Nero, Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. Appreciate the offer old boy; however, I couldn't get your link to open. Garage has advised me to convert from auto to manual as in theory it could be half the cost. Undecided until I have some cash to do it. The plot thickens!

    The Surgeon, Wayne, Thank you for your advice, you absolute sweeties. Garage are going to try and fix it again, if it doesn't work I am going to drive it over a cliff.

    To Whomever Can Assist, Could you provide me with some advice, as to what I should do with my car? After a trip to my thoroughly reliable garage, chaps told me that despite being able to fix a 'secondary pan gasket' - it looked, in all likelihood, that I would need a new gearbox at some stage. The car drives marginally better after the replacement of this gasket, but I fear a slow decline back into poor health. I was given the details of a specialist who said that it would cost ~£1,200 to rebuild. I cannot feed my family this month. Could I ask your advice? 1) Once I've raised this money by

    Whether the biofuel content goes up by 10% or not, the cost of petrol will make my car undrivable very soon.

    Chaps, Anyone have a VR6 Highline? I've noticed that everytime I pull away, the car jolts. It is as if I were driving a manual and I had released the clutch too quickly. The problem is most exaggerated when the car is driven from cold, but if I am in it for half an hour it can still happen. A second problem, is the sense that the car is ever so slightly 'in handbrake'. I notice a slight creaking in the rear axle, asif the car momentarily resists being moved, when I reverse into car parking spaces. The handbrake light is not on, and the handbrake itself is fully depressed. Is it an issue with t

    Hvr and Tony, Garage charged me 'one fiddy' to repair the window, and they did it on the spot. Thanks again for your invaluable advice... Al.

    Woodford. There is a VW specialist on the high road, I'll see if he can get it fixed for me tomorrow morning. Any ideas of how much it would cost to repair Hvr6?
  21. GentleFellow
    Thank you ever so much Hvr6. I'll read it all, and since I have no tools or talent, I'll then take it to the garage. Lots of love, Al.

    Ha ha! Day 4 and the driver's side electric window won't close. I returned from the shops tried to close them, there was a clunk and then... nothing. The motor is whirring but the glass won't budge. To make matters worse, the door won't open! Common problem? Any ideas of the cost to fix? Please help, *sob*

    Hi Dazzr' date=' (s) I telephoned Chris Knott this morning, with [i']exactly the same query. Reading a post by 'ChrisKnott' that I am sure you too had seen, I mentioned this to a lovely sales representative, who took my word for it. From their sheer, overwhelming presence on this forum, I am sure Chris Knott are the most competitive insurance company for VR6 owners, but my enquiries this morning revealed that they want to insure those with at least one year's NCB. I have no NCB. Nevertheless they said they could quote me a figure 'well in excess of £1500'. I'd rather walk. Then, I telephone

    Daverse, Lukey, Thank you so much for that information - even a d-head like I could understand. 'Back box', eh? Daverse, really appreciate the link to your back box. Let me do a bit of reading and I shall get back to you if I am interested.
