I really wanted a gti but funds didn't allow a huge choice and I got this in the dea with the...

I was gutted to see it go, but needs must and all that. Anyway, move sorted, new garage and a new project. Cough; saxo vts. Before you all sta...

It started last week, after the kids went down with some sickness bug, one after the other, then I got it with a wheasy chesty cough on top. Struggled through a week at work and getting out of the warm lorry into near freezing weather then back in the warm and so on didn't help. Then the flu part ki...

Ther is always talk of main dealers, the quality of brand service above and beyond the independent garage service. Well, I just want to say that using a main dealer is akin to just throwing your money away. I say this not from a disgruntled customers view, but from the inside of those shiny branded ...

Somebody will be getting a bargain here!

Hi des, welcome aboard. If its the 2.0 petrol turbo you have, look after it well. These will be getting rare as time goes on. They really are a great car, comfortable with decent handling. One of the best value for money cars around.
Take care of it and it'll look after you.

Well, progress resumed this weekend, not a great deal but progress all the same. I swapped over the flywheel and fitted the new clutch and finally the gearbox could be mated to the engine.
