Bargain i reckon, anyway for an MOT it will need wiper blades and the OS rear brake adjusting (it was lacking some in a recent MOT test). It also failed on a NS CV joint which i've replaced.
The tax is going to run out at the end of march.
I would say this is best suited to a life as a trackday car as it is a little rough around the edges.
slight water leak in the boot, resulting in mould on the interior. This does clean off, but i didn't bother while the boot was still leaking.
Cracked rear light and dented rear panel thanks to a passing motorist
damaged front bumper mounts - still firmly secured but needs a little working to get looking nice
passenger window needs wiring back in, but i'm pretty sure it will work
sunroof doesn't work
the odd dent and ding here and there
Good bits:-
engine goes well. has done 146k. Twin cam D16A9
handling is fantastic, corners like its on rails, very sharp
good brakes
very good steering (power assisted)
GTI seats - very supportive
central locking
alloys (bit scruffy)
bit of tax
both door mirrors!
Car is in Watford, Herts
thanks
