With 108k on the clock already, baby her, for now. She is so very used to the previous owner that any sudden change in driving style can hurt it FAST. It's not an old wive's tale. It's like a new girlfriend that you met at church.... you need to slooooowly move around the bases before you run for home. Don't treat her like you met her at a loose bar or you may end up with a case of the "WHY ME?!" in the morning.
Be gentle....

my loan went trhough so i am picking the car up today most likely.... then i will check whats going on with the sound....
a quick question when i opened the door the dome light didnt come on... and i tried to find a switch to see if it had a "on when door open" kinda thing and couldnt find one... any info on this? or do i just have a dead light?
Super VXer
yeah i am going to check her fluids and watch her every move for now... she will most likely not be offroading other than dirt roads for camping or hunting... she will be babied for quite some timeWith 108k on the clock already, baby her, for now.

Mash on the light with your hand - if it comes on then the door activation switch may be bad - check the other door and see if it comes on there. If the doors and mashing doesn't make it come on it's prolly the bulb.

I second that!I have a K&N that makes a pretty harsh sucking sound, but with my custom exhaust it just sounds right.

Can i have them fix my door, the air problem, the paint and the cladding on the hood?Since you'll need to have full insurance 'till the loan is paid off you can have the insurance pay for new paint,comprehensives claims doesn't raise you premiums. I did it,i bought my VX in november last year,three weeks later some jerk scratched the left fender with some kind of key so to say.
The insurance pay off a full painted VX in silver original color
How will it not raise my premium?
Super VXer
In order to have a comprehensive claim done & processed by the insurance company there's have to be a physical damage such as scratched paint finish,body damage or a broken cladding not related to accidents
Those kind of claims doesn't raise your premiums.
If you hood cladding is broken you can process a claim for that.Some times a police report needs to being filled depending on the extend of the damage.I guess you would not need to filled a report with the police.The ironman hood logo is covered if the hood insert it self is damaged,the door have to shows signs of being forced open or vandalized in order to consider that a comprehensive damage.
It works like a health insurance,where you pay a premium for medical expenses & services related to you as a covered individual.
I believe the driver's door hinges should be inspected at a body shop & they'll be able to find a solution for the door.
About the rear door paint scratch also check with a body shop to find out how much can be the cost to restore the finish.If the cost is somehow high for you the body shop can work in your favor to have a paint job done & paid by the insurance company.
A VX paint job isn't so expensive as a regular car because half of the car is poly cladding covers.
Comprehensive is a coverage that is offered to pay damages ocurred to your car when the causes of that damage was related to vandalims such as broken in window,natural disasters such as flooding,paint and/or body damage such as hitting a light pole,etc.

Dakar was just the begining.

thank you! i will think about it, i will mention it to them after running around and seeing how much it will cost.
for some reason the abs light is on in the car... just took her home, so i am going to have to look into that.
The air sound is the air filter!! holy crap its loud, i may buy some sound deadning mat and place it around it. the door i can hear at 70 mph and will need to be repositioned, the dome light wont come on, and i am going to get my fluids checked and changed this weekend.
How do i work the cd player, it doesnt take cds, it lights up and all and i hear the motor working to select a cd, but is there a special way to insert the disk or do i just shove it in, because thats not working haha
