MOT : 02/11/11
TAX : 01/11/11 (cheap tax as its 1.5 diesel rather than 1.6)
Mileage: 105,000
Engine & Box:
All good news here. Reliable as anything. Original early 1.5 diesel on a 4 speed box which are renowned to be much much better than the 1.6 diesels. Also drops you into the cheaper tax band making it half as much to tax as a 1.6. Has not long been serviced with various new parts and runs like an absolute dream always starts on the button. Gear linkage bushes have been replaced so no sloppy gear change its very precise! No show winner under the bonnet but no rust and presentable enough. I believe there may be a 1.6 TD & 5 speed box avaliable to buy too that can be negotiated seperately with seller.
Bodywork:
All original paint that has polished up lovely, it looks a fantastic little golf. To make mint would want a new boot lid as it has holed through near the bottom corner of the rear window but was kept for originality. Underside is rust free and should come up against no problems come MOT time. Sills have cleaned up exceptionally well infact they look like new. Arch covers were removed to check out "horrors" underneath and to our suprise there was none! So they were repainted and refitted. Also has crystal headlights and a debadged grill fitted. Easily changed if not to your taste.
Running Gear:
All good news here. A lot of it has been renewed. New top mounts when fitting the brand new TA Tecknics coilovers. Brakes have had a freshen up, new shoes, new discs, new pads, new flexis, new calipers. All new wheel bearings, New CV boots. Drives fantastic its a great little thing to drive! Its on 15" BK racing alloys which I think look suprisingly good but it did have porsche teledials fitted for a short time and that looked truly fantastic! Good 195/50/15" Tyres all round. Obviously wheel choice here is endless but wouldnt take a look to make an fantastic little attention grabber.
Interior:
All good news here its fantastically clean and in good condition for its age, centre console etc. Not a huge amount to say here its mostly standard. Has had a good stereo installed etc.
As you can probably tell from a lot of the wording I'm selling for a friend. Hes looking for £1750ono. To discuss viewing etc call Steve on 07861801483
No engine pictures sorry but I'm sure you know what a 1.5 diesel looks like....
