persistent fellow aren't ya!? :D I had looked at it to be honest, and if it was a 3-dr then you might have been in luck! Nice motor though at a good price...shouldn't have too much trouble selling it. Have you advertised it on edition38?

:D Lovely car, but my budget is pretty much half of what you're asking! :D I've come to the conclusion that its a mk4 or a3 aswel I think.....no disrespect to the leon, but its just not my cup o' tea....although I did see a nice rado g60 on pistonheads tother day which i'm toying with. I'm extremely confused as to what to buy as you can see.... :scratch: I fancy the whole 'modern car' concept with all the goodies that go with it (including a nice turbo), but I really miss the rado at the same time. In an ideal world...i'd have both of course! :D

Thanks for you replies. Carpy25....I would LOVE the quattro version but my budget won't stretch that far i'm afraid! :D Lovely motor by the way, I do like the look of the audi....and theres a couple relatively close to me for good money so I might go and have a quick look. Goldie....I have looked at the Leon's as you do seem to get more for your money in terms of power and also in the year of car I should be able to pick up. Theres just something niggling at me to go with golf or a3 though, and I really can't explain it.....hmmmm, decisions. :scratch: Any more thoughts are most welcome..... :D

Mornin all! I know this isn't corrado-related, but as most of you seem to have experience of other cars I was hoping to pick your brains for a moment! I've recently sold my VR and i'm on the lookout for a new car. Originally, it was to be a diesel due to the crippling cost of petrol, but stupidally i've decided I can't live without a petrol car and have decided to go down the 1.8t route in the form of an a3 or vw golf mk4.....and I was just wandering if anyone had an opinion on which to go for or if anyone has any experience of owning one? :confused4: The audi's for some reason, seem to be slightly lower in price but i'm assuming thats down to the whole 'golf GTI' pedigree. I will be looking at the early models around 1998-2000 due to budget issues.... Any thoughts/opinions will be most welcome.... Thanks guys and gals, Ben :D

My old vr....i'm missing it like mad, but at least its gone to a good owner who will give her the care and attention she needs! :D Got it looking good already matey...keep me posted!

yup, its an L-reg. Thanks for your response....I was thinking somewhere about the £1500 mark myself to be honest.

nope, no info on the chains i'm afraid...but that doesn't mean they havent been done (not that that helps at all....). Yup, I really like the colour aswel.....just a shame I have to get rid. :( Any ballpark figures on price would be helpful though guys and gals....

Hi all. Sadly, the time has come to accept that I need a diesel car. :( As a result, the VR6 has got to go and I was wandering if you guys and gals could help advise me with a price for it? The description below is as honest as I can make it: Engine: 2.9 VR6 (ABV) with 136k. The engine is sweet, except for a very occasional misfire which we

I'm having the same problem emirc, and its really starting to annoy me now as it really spoils the whole car (especially as i'm a relatively new owner :( ) I recently changed the ECU (as it came with the wrong one when I bought it), so i'm thinking that could be the culprit if its faulty? But if someone has any other ideas then they would be much appreciated! :D

Sounds very similar to the problem i'm having at the moment....except I assumed it was down to other things. Haven't had mine on the diagnostic.....but upto now i've changed the dizzy (which was completely knackered), and the 109 relay. At first, thought i'd cured it but then it came back. :( I know this is totally unhelpful, but i'll be following this and hopefully someone will be along to help us out! :)

Cheers for that. Replaced my relay 109 the other day aswel...and fingers crossed, it seems to have done the job. Happy days... :D

Any more news on this? I've just started having very similar problems with my vr and would be interested in knowing if you've managed to solve it? Cheers.

one day i'll let it slip and everyone will hate me! :lol: I'm going to get sum pics up soon when its out of the garage so you can have a gander then..... :D

No mate....I don't want to reveal how much i got it for, lets just say it was an extremely good price! :D It needs a repaint ideally...but was holding off on it until I found out if it was worth the money first. Now i know it is, i'm happy to spend some money on her now.......can't wait to get her on the road! :D

Well I finally got my new vr to the MOT man this week after a hellish time trying to sort out an ECU for it! Bearing in mind the car had been stood for a year in the rear of some dodgy garage in the 'not so nice area of liverpool' and with no history to speak of....i feared the worst! This was to be the decider on whether it was a keeper or a seller....... But im EXTREMELY happy to report it only failed on two brake pipes and a slight emissions problem! :D I couldn't believe it! i was thinking my savings were going to take a massive hit.....my mechanic even said how straight and solid she was......so with any luck, i'll have her on the road next week so i can get some new pics and start treating her to some new goodies..... I know this topic is a bit pointless but i had to share the joy! :lol:
