Little things that are wrong with the VR-4

[alexander-a]

For a bit of fun lets list the little things that you think are wrong with our cars.
I'll start:

1) The intermittent wiper setting should work further away is less frequent and closer is more frequent. (Gets me every-time, can't be the only one?)

[SEAN-NZ]

The only thing I would like with the intermittent is that I could get it more frequent so I don't have to go full on as early.
The sunroof, sometimes would be nice if the window lock, locked it as well, or if the control wasn't on the roof, sober driving and having drunk girls and a sunroof, not the best haha.
I think this thread could be good, might give people ideas on how to make improvements, even on things they don't really think about

No cruise control as standard!

[adaxo]

Wobble windows if not shut or open fully, make funny noise if dropped a little and you close door.

[Davezj]

full auto up and down of window not just from the driver door.

Pass r auto too.

Luggage cover Legnum is too weak.

[Davezj]

Road noise could be reduced.

But that is the price you pay for wide grippy tyres.
I tried and failed. Used isolation mounts between the top of the suspension top mount and underside of the suspension turret but I did not experience any noticeable reduction in road noise being transmitted to the canon of the car.
I even isolated the stud and nuts.

[Davezj]

Wind noise as well could be reduced.

Change your diet...?

Im sure there was a thread like this a while back and I said the same thing...
Doesnt have an RB engine in it


But on thread track, as Nev said, cruise control.
Also additional controls on the steering wheel for stereo etc.
Auto headlights (can be retrofitted).
Better sound system - could have done with a standard sub-woofer instead of a super rare option!

[Grid]

Given the size of the car, the boot space was given priority, and the legroom makes your Legnumb (or the rear passengers). Fix: Think positively.

The random number display in the center of the dash, that was meant originally as a clock. Fix: replace the internals with something better like the Polish UKP.

The factory location for the stereo which heats up the A/C ECU, located just above, and makes it go crazy with A/C. Fix: swap radio with tray.

The lack of corrosion protection. Fix: Apply protection yourself.

I even isolated the stud and nuts.

Everybody is a stud when in the driver seat of the VR-4

Turning circle.

You can retention the load cover.
I have not done it on VR4 one but I did it on my jeep one.
It I a case of pushing in the springy end of the roller while holding the other end and twisting it tighter then release the springy end and it should lock into positing but tighter spring action.
I found this out on the jeep due to standing the load cover up and leaning on the load cover which completely unwound

No lock between Drive and neutral on the auto. After a good blast in tip its too easy to forget u are back in auto and push the lever into neutral sending the rev counter into the red. Or maybe that's just me

No it not just you, did this many times in my old days auto legnum. I didn't happen on manual :-)

I know that feeling.

Spend a few days driving auto, then back to manual and you'll forget the clutch for a while!

[adaxo]

Or suddenly pressing the brake on auto as you do pres clutch manual, nearly lost my teeth that way in some bloody punto or other corsa.

[Atik]

I've never done that. Pedal position is not natural for me to use my feet like that.
My sister got into a car crash cos of that as the driver in front was driving auto for the first time and hit the brakes on the slip exit of the M6 J19.
