Nothin but stress since i got my VTR

[joncorpssaxo]

wrie its a long story but i will cut it down alot. I used to have a white 1.1 Mk2 but sold it in july and got a posi blue Mk1 vtr. first week of owning her the cv boot broke on the way to my holidays. i got it home ok a week later just. i then got it fixed and the stupid people who did it were shit cos it went agen 2 weeks later. so i then got a new drive shaft and antiroll joints put in. sence then it was runing fine intil a prick in a volvo smashed into the side of me and wrote it off. Ity was only cat D so i got th money for it and bought it back for £50 and its going to get fixed tommoro. cant wait. Even though it has been nothin but stress since i got her i still love her.. lol. has anyone else had as much bad luck as me????

You gotta remember that alot of people will floor a R/S when they get the chance..

There's quite a few MK1's that a shagged :oops:

i dont rag mine about i guess when u go to buy a new car make sure you look very hard at it. i admit when i veiwed mine i was a bit rushed at checking it out cos i was wanted to buy it.

[jay]

me i brought mine in a hurry, i brought it from a small dealer and when i told him about all the problems he wasn't interested

[kateandjohn]

We have had our's for 7 months now and had no problems. Only thing gone is a brake light bulb.

Mine had nearly a grands worth of new parts put into the front end less than a month after I bought it on two occassions, 4 driveshafts, 2 new cv boots, loads of other crap. Then a landrover wrote off my car. And it was a posi blue VT kitted saxo lol. Maybe theres a curse.

Tis harsh though mate hope it comes back shiny n new

[piperX]

how did you sort the rev problem mate?

[Mattvtr]

cleaning sensor or replacing it usually does the trick
posiwestcoast when the hell did that happen?have you got any pics?
ive had a couple of problems,spent about 500 quid on parts to replace at the most,its all been worth it though!

[TheVtrKid]

how did you sort the rev problem mate?

Just took it to a garage, explained the problem and he sorted it, cant remember what it was exactly, but when sum1 above sed stepper motor, that rung a bell. Also i had problem starting the car, turned the ignition and it just kept ticking over without firing up, think it was part of the same problem. U have that problem 2?

[piperX]

the rev thing, yeah. its doin ma head in, only does it when the engine is cold tho. someone said its the sensor for the choke etc. how long ago you have the problem?
