Hi all the VR6 has been archived for years - on the hope of beter times i can afford to run it - but every so often i pop up and run it. anyhow i went up the other month - didnt start it - but did a bit of welding ( i had the battery off) before i went i went to fire it up and it just turned over ...

loved mine when i had it... come on gang.. rare as rockin horse manure. always turned heads. and imageine... being in a scirocco.. converible.. out on the roads in the sun... twas great man... not a rocco that was all about racing..

told him to fit it - MOT it - Take it off - and sell it straight away, might only lose a few bob.

he had too buy a direct replacement from G&S in the end for over 100 squid.
MOT man was adamant - it was on there from manufacturer it had too be there mot.
