WATER GOING INTO THE GOD DAM TAIL LAMPS . Nothing on my car shits me more than this everybody see it and is expensive to have professionally fixed.

- Seal top of rear lamps and also rear 1/4 windows, easy to do

Lazy gauges - Dry Solder
Door catch broken - Renew Catch
rust rust rust - Cut and seal as required
leaking fuel tank - Replace the seals around sender, breather hoses and fuel cap
faulty electrics - Which ones specifically?
The brakes (don't need to explain) - Renew pads, rotors and bleed the system with high quality fluid.

I could be here all night.

Post more for more handy fixes

Rear tyres bald

i have that exact same problem lol, dont know why but they just keep going bald within a couple weeks? anyone help me?:whistling lmao

Those damn rubber guides down the front end of the window rails. Over the years, all the guides on VN/VP models have slowly slid up with the motion of the window, and nearly ALL of them stick out from the door around the side mirrors. It looks hideous!!

ARRRGH! that shits me, and how the windows drop down off the rails?

 

[Cogez]

HAHAHHA it could be burnouts =P

AHHHH omg, it's not just me? I've resorted to using 195s because they're cheaper. I just can't work out what's going on >_>

only serious problem is the welch plugs, have to take the engine and box out to get at em.
also i guess a 2pack finish would be nice, but the acrylic's still holding on.

Azk, worn lifters on Cogez's motor? Surely hope not, it's ONLY JUST been rebuilt. Ticked since rebuild. Pricks told him to keep driving it it'd bed in. Til he ran out of warranty, then they didn't want to know about it. Dodgy ****s.

You serious? thats ****ed, lifters don't wear in like that lol.... i would have given it 100km before i took it right back and told them to redo it. They should have made some noise for a few seconds-minutes while the oil circulated then quite time for ever... epic fail..
