hi guys,
i bought a VTR last night, will upload pics later.
its really tidy, silver, 1998 reg, 60k miles, FSH, Full MOT and tax, £900.
thought bargain!!
now, found a few problems though.
1st, there is a weird "whirring" noise coming from somewhere. see, i thought this was the clutch, but some1 told me its the alternator brushes... some 1 else told me its the water pump bearing?
dunno about any of these. think its the clutch personally coz it rides a bit high and so is the bite point.
2nd, its over heating, but i know what that is,, changed thermostat last night and re-bled the system. no change. so now i know its the thermo housing. got that on the way, and using some gasketlite on it at the moment.
any ideas about the whirring noise though?
the rest of the car is immaculate, so if i have to slam a clutch on its still a cheaop car.
