V6 in Norfolk
Posted: Fri Jul 12, 2019 4:26 pm
Hello people,
I have just joined as having recently bought a '94 V6 12valve with a few 'issues' and having got it roadworthy will now begin the well trodden path of learning the foibles of these cars.
As I have come from the land of DS restoration, the amount of electronics has already frustrated me, but the V6 was the main reason for this purchase and so far is beginning to give me the driving experience that a DS does not have (until I fit one of these engines in one...)
Issues still with the car include : permanently in sport mode, central locking not working, oil leak from rocker cover, strut tops not in the best of health, rodent damage to the engine bay soundproofing and the second from last exhaust silencer crusty.
I have fixed : NS door window mechanism changed, new comfort spheres all round, sunroof failure traced to the switch with a broken soldered joint, full service with aux belts and auto box fluid, new tyres, door catch replacement, rear silencer replacement, leather feed to all seats and a respray (Emerald Green)
So as you can see, a rolling restoration, or work in progress as you like.
I look forward to conversing with the great and the good here in XM land and learning the knowledge.
