VR6

If you only paid £20 for it, would you scrap it as soon as it needed a tank of fuel?!

Definitely not worth 5 grand. Maybe if it was pristine and 1995 with leather, aircon and not green. Personally I wouldn't pay a penny more than £1,750 and even then I would want a stack of history/receipts with it.

What's his asking price?

You get what you pay for generally. I haven't had one but from what I know I would want to budget around £2k for a half decent job. And don't forget you'll no doubt have a load of seals and other bits and pieces to replace as well.

£3k if it's superb condition and lots of history. £2k is probably more ballpark though for an earlier VR with no leather and not the most desirable colour. But again if condition is generally very good.

:lol: We should start a new saying along those lines. From now on anything sick/ill relating to Corrado parts can be said to have 'spine cancer'.

Need to be registered I think ...

Hehe cheers matey, that was my concern, what with my chicken wrists an' all! Will have a think :)

Doh. One sec.

What size is the face Jim? The watch that is :)

It's like looking at a mother and daughter next to each other.

Diet Coke????!

Closing then if you're selling on Ebay instead.

There's no need to create multiple threads. Just edit this one.

Welcome to the forum :wave:

"They call him Jack"

Isn't that a contradiction? Long bite point = new clutch. Higher it bites = older/more worn. ??

Looking amazing :salute:

It wasn't a planned photo but even though the Golf is slightly in the distance I think the attached pic shows how big cars have got these days! I think it could be the thermostat as it seems to take quite a while to get up to temp as well but I wouldn't rule out the other senders. It's got a great history but I can't see a recent clutch so I don't mind replacing it. It doesn't feel particularly great and there's about 3 foot of travel before the biting point. MPG I'm talking about less than 15 just running around town. Which I know isn't accurate. I know you should take these estimates with a pinch of salt but that can't be right. The Evo probably does better!! I'm off to Greece for a week tomorrow so the car's going to my mechanic for a holiday. There's not much he doesn't know about Golfs having owned at least 30 of them. I think I'll explain the problems and let him crack on :)

Welcome back!

Looking good Mike :afro: Just picked her up tonight actually. Really like it so far :) Turns a few heads! Water temp gauge doesn't seem to move - could be the thermostat or a dodgy temp sender. Think it could do with a new clutch. Few squeaks and rattles to track down. MPG seems to be a bit too low on the MFA - not sure if it's running a bit rich. Patch of rust on the driver's door and some paint needed on the sunroof. But apart from that, she's in pretty fine fettle!

I've just phoned Peter D James on Kip's advice and they seemed ok with the fact that the Golf won't be garaged. I think it depends on the postcode though as mine is one of the best seeing as though I'm on the Rock. Sounds like I will get a quote but not sure what yet. ---------- Post added at 2:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 2:16 PM ---------- £195 for the year ... not too shabby! It beats Admiral by about £60. Thanks Kip :salute:

Cheers Tony, good stuff :salute:

Not got the car yet ... picking it up Friday. The alloys are ok, they don't offend me :) The seats are in really good nick apart from a small cig burn by the driver's crotch. Surely seat covers means you can't enjoy the lovely rainbowyness?? I don't smoke, never eat or drink in the car so I think they should be ok :) ---------- Post added at 7:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 7:09 PM ---------- Oh .... Schwartz Blue anyone??
